Is it just my computer or are the boards slow? No other site that I go to seem to be running slow but this one. This started about 2 or 3 days ago.


Is anyone else having this problem?

It occasionally gets bad for me, I somethings think it is me, can it be here?

been bad for me the past couple of days.  One of the main reasons I've been in the game room playing a game, don't have to wait for things to load while I'm playing.

It doesn't seem to happen when I use Chrome-only when I use Firefox. Very strange.

I'm using firefox and yeah loading loops.

Slowness on both Google Chrome and Firefox.

Internet Explorer is much faster then firefox right now. It doesnt loop long if it loops.  the firefox looping is not just these boards, I've been trying to do some stuff over at my photobucket.

I am on Firefox and having no problems at all

I haven't noticed a problem from home, and I've got all kinds of stuff downloading at the same time.  may be caused by things like the big boards image not loading at the bottom of the page, or people's images loading from slow sites preventing a page from loading properly.

Yeah, I've noticed that the BigBoards image fails to load a lot lately. Phil and Howard often notice it too, since we all contribute to the BigBoards Rank thread. And that often results from the BigBoards website server being down... but that shouldn't have any effect on this site.

And by the way, there has been no slowness on my end, either.

The same here!

Some browsers have a hard time rendering a page if an image is located at a certain part of the html. I put the image in a spot so that shouldn't be an issue.  There's also a google analytic code as well (I think?) which is a remote script and might cause issues.

could various servers become slower if the whole world were using them, or do I just have a silly idea?  That's what I was thinking earlier.  Some people are saying they didn't have a problem with Firefox, but I'm on Internet Explorer still.

That is what I have been thinking. Even Google crashed when Michael Jackson died.

Sometimes there is a message saying "waiting for big boards" but others will just say "waiting for inthe00s." Like I said, this is something that just started probably about 4 days ago or so.

Don't know what you did, Chucky (if you did anything) but it is working so much better now. Thanks.

nothing at all sadly.

look at the very bottom of a page and it says something like this: Page created in 0.056 seconds with 14 queries.

If it's ever a second or longer, than it's something with the site.  If it's not, then it's something with your connection to the site. It could very well be the place I'm hosting it at (they moved the server last month to a new location), or it might just be the ISP you are using.

Well, I gave you karma anyway because you are such an awesome dude.  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D

I've been back on firefox now.  I just think servers get busy or whatever since I found other boards at the time to be slow as well. 

Thankfully this site runs very nicely for me :)

Did the boards go all slow and unreceptive just then, it did for me?

Other websites I was on were fine, it was just here.

a little bit here.

Sometimes when it goes slow, the slowness hangs on for a few minutes, but all is well soon enough afterwards.

That was then, all has been fine for me so far today.

Was it me or was last night after 5pm slow on the boards?  ???

I couldn't get on to the boards earlier today.  I assume something to do with the storm

I was on this morning, made a comment and then when I tried to go somewhere it said it was unavalible.  I turned off our internet connection and came back later.

I think it had to do something with the storm but everything seems to be ok now.

It is a little slow for me, at least at this second!

For me, it's been a couple of days.

It took almost 2 minutes to go from page to page, waiting for the transfer.

Is it just me, or are the boards slow on downloading and replying?

I am suffering from it again.

I would say just a little.

I commented on this to and caught on to it long before. Gifs in signatures play a role to.

I have my viewing of the boards as don't show avatars and signatures, but I wonder they must still affect the downloading of webpages even though hidden?

probably it's the size of the picture that's causing the boards to be slow? ???

No which is Why Im glad I can disable flash in my browser.... Bogs it down like crazy! (I goto youtube directly if I really wanna see em)

Yes, but some people still don't seem to care. I think we should set a limit at two embeddings per post. (And if quoting a reply containing even one Youtube embedding, take out the videos. I do this all the time.)

Me too, Dude. That's why I have developed a habit of just putting the youtube URL in the post, that way it shows up as a link that can be clicked on.

I too just put in the address when I want to show something at Youtube

right, that's what I do too.
