Loading/Posting/Lagging

[Richard]

Everytime someone posts here, and I come on, and everything's fine.

Do you guys see the following at the bottom of the page:

Post that last line when you are experencing lagging.

i'm too impatient for that. here's what i've been experiencing:

there will be times when clicks go through automatically and times when the browser stops.

intervals are every 1-2 minutes. one minute is fine, one minute is terrible. so, if i keep refreshing until the minute passes, the page eventually does its thing. however, if i leave a click to its own devices, it -never- goes through. the page stops loading and sits halfway. i don't have the time to wait more than five minutes on a click, so, again, i refresh.

D: since i'm new here and this has been happening since a few days into my arrival, i kinda figured that this was normal.

well.

same for me.
when it lags, i refresh the page and click again.

waiting for hours does nothing helpful.

also, i'd like to point out that katmike mentioned something about one of their responses getting "eaten":

i think they're suffering the same problem we are.

The past few days when I click a link the first time it doesn't load, but if I click it again it's fine.  I've had problems posting though, it usually takes several tries.

I have this problem occasionally too.. but it seems okay today

[itw2009]

i didn't have any problems yesterday. D:

the differences were my being on a faster server, and using ie instead of ff, but i don't know if that really MADE a difference. i'll check again later today.

Broken - It would seem as if this has something to do with your ISP (or at least this is what our host is telling me). Have you contacted them about lagging. Or, have you had this type of problem on any other website?

How is the problem now?

It's been fine today, and I hadn't had this problem on any other sites until last night. IT took me three full minutes to load a TINY image. Straight 1990's dialup mode.

[itw2009]

i'm kinda blaming the website because this is the only one at which i have had any problem like this at all.

D: ;;; sorry.

and i've used the same computer over different servers since this problem began occurring.

HOWEVER, as i say, the problem isn't really happening, anymore (regardless of browser or internet connection). now 's more of a "once or twice in a hundred clicks" as opposed to "once every three clicks".

so...... MAGIC? it fixed itself? i have no explanation.

[goom]

i highly doubt all our computers were acting up at the same exact time.
there was something definitely wrong.

but, i wouldn't call cody's an accurate test. his internet is slow everywhere. (no offense)

It hasnt done it for me in a while so I think its getting better.. *crosses fingers knocks on wood*

[Phoenix004]

I've also had this problem, but it hasn't been as bad this week.

[VisserZer0]

This has happened to me before (somewhat recently) but it's only taken a couple minutes, at the maximum.

[itw2009]

okay, i'm getting some loading problems again. same deal.

does it, by any chance, have to do with increased activity on the site?

1.- first time it happened was a bit after katmike joined the forum.

2.- now, isn't it like, right after you guys have started warning inactive members to start posting or watch their accounts get axed?
