Very laggy and slow loading

[Deviant Idol]

I was curious if anyone else has the same problems as I do when loading this messageboard sometimes. It can take 2-3 minutes to load each page sometimes and other times it just flat times out... Has anyone else been having the same problem as me? :scratch:

[~cheeky~]

yea and it was driving me nuts :rambo:

been ok today since changing to firefox thou :scratch:

[dan the acid man]

yeah

Is Firefox really that good of an internet browser?

[EmotionComplex]

yup its definetly faster then explorer at loading up most stuff, plus it doesnt get spyware hijacked half as easily.

i havent used explorer for a couple of years now

Takes about 9 year for pages to load on the odd occasion for me too. I think mark already knows about it and is working on it. It needs sorting tho

Guess I'll have to give Firefox another try then, I didn't really care for it when I tried it on my old computer... But I guess since I've upgraded to a Pentium D 3.2GHZ with 1GB DDR2 RAM, it should load pretty fast :cool:

its worth using, but you get this slow loading what ever you use,

[~cheeky~]

must admit its been slow at times today on firefox but still not as bad as when i was using IE.

I will be keeping an eye on it closely for the next little while

I did notice logging in took a little while, but pages are loading for me quite quickly.

The browser loads slowly?

this happens with metoo, been ritepissing me off, tried using 3 different browsers

ie- bloody awful
firefox- even worse
opera- bairable

Problem should be fixed. If anyone notices things taking a long time, please drop another note, and if possible include the time that it happened.

[MARKEG]

we think we've just sorted it!!

let me know if it's any better!!

:)

And for the record, it was not anyone specific browser. There are some speed differences between them, but nothing like the lag that was being noticed.

I dont want to say what it was until I am 100% positive that was it.

But just for the heck of it, just over 11% of web requests on the site are done using firefox.

sinner rocks!!
