I'm on broadband here at home and it still seems slow at times. [][][][B)][B)][B)]

I've noticed this as well - We are on a shared server at the moment. When we first set-up with this webhost we had the run of the server, however now there are a few more site running - unsure if they are as active as this site??

Hows everyone else finding it performance wise?

Sometimes it can be a little slower, other times if I've left it on Active Topics, when it refreshes I got a 404...

If your getting slow times can you have a look at the "Page loading time" at the bottom of the screen and let me know what it is.

A 404 error is a page not found error, if you get it again please could you send me a screenshot

i've noticed it slowing down a lot more recently but it seems to be when the browser is trying to resolve the domain name to an ip address - once it get's the ip address it loads as normal

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I found it slow. Since then it seems to have improved until the last couple of days. Retrieving posts or clicking on links mostly takes less than a half a second but maybe 10 percent of the time takes 10 seconds or more. Posting generally takes about 5 seconds and searching is very slow normally taking about 30 seconds to load but sometimes a lot slower.

I generally get connection speeds in excess of 700k.

Forum has been incredibly slow the past week for me on 600k broadband. No 404's but long waiting times even just to view posts.

For those of us on NTL's broadband service, judging by the fun and games I had last night I'd say NTL have a few niggling problems with their DNS servers at the moment. That could explain the slow name resolution.

Keep getting the following too:

I am on dial up and sometimes I just cant be bothered connecting cause its so slow!!! It can take a good 30 sec to load a page.

I get 404 error messages too.

Another annoying thing that has started happening, If I use the back button on the browser It comes up post ot cashed (think thats how u spell it)

 

[MikeP]

Scrap what I said earlier, it's not a 404, it's cannot find server or DNS entry one...

 

[JimB]

Same here - "Cannot find server" - just had problems for the last 15 minutes... Am on 512k leased line & other external websites fine.

I've been getting more server not found errors recently, funnily enough I can really tell the difference between my 1MB office ADSL and my 600K NTL -home. Really slow at home sometimes, I blame all this bloatware forum S/W. We need to go back to good old plain text to increase the speed.[V]

No I'm not suggesting we go backwards but I'm sure that the object size of all the postings must have a fair impact on things.

LOL! - like the original Yahoo Group! [] Those were the days! []

 

[golfturbo]

I have had loads of problems earlier, took about 10 attempts just to reply to a post! []

 

[neilybealy]

it's definitely the server and where it's hosted

sometimes i'm getting new mail notification (that someone has replied to a thread i'm subscribed to) upto 8 hours late

 

[Royster]

Oh dear here we go again
