Seven Forums slow today???

[Oaken]

Thanks for the info z3r010.

I usually allow googleapis on a manual basis for individual sites. If I forget when coming onto the site it's not long before the loss of functionality reminds me to do so- I'll see if white listing helps.

 

[Oaken]

Still no change.

I'd be grateful for any other ideas please?

It's blazing fast for me on BE, so other than change your ISP I have nothing.

That's just it z3r010, if it was the same for other sites then I'd be looking to do just that. But it is only SevenForums.

I've done everything I can think of including uninstalling all addons, and thoroughly cleaning all local storage, flash settings, etc. Then resetting router, rebooting, and so on.

Are there any specific scripts which the site must have enabled? I'm clutching at straws given the above though it might help me get to the bottom of this. Some sites will not display any content unless you allow everything- is there anything which must be enabled for SevenForums?

One thing. Try to open SF on other computer but with the same ISP. Maybe problem is you.

Not that I know of.

Tis the same on another machine here with and without browser safe mode.

Latest speedtest is fine...

 

[StalkeR]

I really have no idea what should you do next ... :sarc:

 

[Oaken]

Could it have anything to do with any sub domains- if there are any?

what's your isp, OakenG?

i'm with bt business broadband, and i notice the occasional slowdown with sevenforums too.

sometimes a page won't load at all - "Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found" - but loads ok when i refresh, and sometimes most of a page loads, then it hangs and pauses for a while just before it reaches the 'quick reply' box at the bottom of the page.

recently i've been getting slowdowns when i click on an image too, where the background dims but the image overlay/popup/lightbox (or whatever it's called) doesn't appear, or only part of it.



all other sites seem to be fine.

Hi Mickey, yes I'm with BT (home) and am having very similar issues to yourself apart from any error messages.

I had a lot of trouble with my connection last year though I've had *all* wiring/connections from my machine to the exchange, replaced and/or renewed in the last 3 months. Even including the cable from the green box on the adjacent street corner, up through our purpose-built ground floor storage, and into our third floor flat. New internal boxes, cabling, the whole kit, etc. And I do mean all- checked and rechecked by a senior BT engineer on a weekly basis for 3 weeks thereafter- having put a rocket up the xxxx of BT's CEO. Since which everything has run smoothly and without incident.

Some SevenForums pages are loading normally and then similar pages take anything from 10-20 seconds (or more) to load.

This is really starting to bake my noodle now.

 

[Oaken]

Bizarre...

I asked the admins to change my username and now pages are speedy again this session???

May just be coincidence though I hope it stays this way...

 

[Oaken]

And... now it's back to super-slow again.

Spoke too soon- can we have a tearing your ears off smiley please!

 

[mickey megabyte]

my problems with this site seem to be sorted now - how about you Oaken?

maybe it was BT mad after all...

 

[Dwarf]

Are any of you finding SF slow in places, but not in others?

 

[Shadowjk]

I find SF Slow when about 12000 Users (Including guests obviously) Are on SF yet when there are only 9000 it is fine

BT Home as ISP

as per my post above, i was experiencing problems:

1 - when the page reached the 'quick reply' box

2 - when clicking on images

all seems to be okay now though

Hi Mickey, the site is still pretty erratic for me. Yesterday browsing the forums was a lot quicker than it has been since starting this thread, though today it's all over the place again. I'm having my line and service checked as I type this post and will let you know the outcome...
