Is it me?????????

[wombatie]

I'm not sure if it's my computer or not. Does anyone else think that the site is running a bit slower lately? Some days it drives me up the wall but I do manage to not to fall asleep while I am waiting for the next topic.

Are you on dial up or wire less? I am, and when i'ts cloudy, things screech to a slow crawl and even lock up everywhere ,the net ,ssv !

I've run across that problem myself. When there is a high demand on the bandwidth at the site (I think thats the correct term) it tends to slow down. I also found that when we are having storms in the area the connection lags.

I'm on broadband and when I'm on you are all fast asleep in your beds But seriously this as been happening for awhile. Guess it must be my computer. I guess I will have to put up with it for awhile longer. Thaks Guys.

Is it all sites, or just this site?

[wombatie]

Its just this site Travis. I can wait upto 20 seconds or more for a page to come up, another time it only takes about 5 seconds. Other sites I'm on can be instant from one page to the next.

Hmmm...things seem to be going well on my end. Is anybody else having issues with site speed?

Thanks Guys, it must just be me but it won't put me off this site I love it. Besides I always have to be different. The sign on my gate says that this is the Nut House.

 

Cheers, Marg

Hi Marg,

This is most likely a routing problem and nothing to do with your computer.

if it was your computer it would happen with all web sites.

One thing you can do is check the lower left corner of your screen (on Firefox anyway). This will tell you where it's pulling information from. If it hangs on a specific section, let me know. I know the banner server sometimes is quirky. Maybe its getting hung up on that. I also have some stat tracking javascripts on the website. Perhaps the javascript is either slow or giving your browser some grief.

 

One thing more to check is how many people are browsing the forum. You should see that at the bottom of the main forum page. If there's a lot of people, that might slow things down a bit. I think the most we've had were 30 or so.

 

Anyway, if you notice it hanging on a particular thing, let me know and I'll look into it.

I'm sorry Travis I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. I am just a very basic computer person, anything away from the VERY straight forward and I either get lost or I personally freeze. LOL When I am on the site you are all tucked up in your warm little beds. The most there have ever been on at the same time as me was one, they must have had insomnia.

The answer to my question is "Yes it is me". Or it was, my computer has been away getting upgraded and now its as quick as a flash. I won't go to sleep now while I'm waiting.

Marg, tell those guinea pigs inside your computer to run on their wheel a bit faster

 

I havent noticed any issues with the pages when im at home, it does get a little slow at times when im at work, but thats just the works network at the time as it happens for other sites too.

 

Maybe do a little housekeeping of your computer and clear some temporary files and cache etc..
