Loading/Posting/Lagging

[Richard]

The issue doesn't happen to everyone (well, not to the point where it becomes noticeable), so I can't say that it is an activity issue.

Additionally, loads are well within 'normal' limits.

hmmmm...

well, the only issue i really have is that my posts keep disappearing. *eye twitch* i don't mind hitting f5 a few times, but i hate retyping posts. if/when it goes away, i'll come back and let someone know.

That's not cool. If it happens, post the time it happened here. I will cross check the time you give me and the server load to see if there was a burst of activity which caused the latency.

You haven't had any problems like this with any other website?

[itw2009]

np. i'll try to remember.

and as for problems with other websites... nothing like this, no. =) but i'll keep you updated.

I've had that sporadic lag problem ever since I joined. I normally either refresh, or restart the browser and it works fine.

I'm now in the habit of copying any uber-posts before hitting "post".

What I do when I realise the page isn't really loading is copy the text before refreshing.

[itw2009]

that is what i usually do.

but yesterday, the page would start to move and THEN freeze. so i didn't have time to copy-paste before the screen would go white/grey. trust me: i own copy-paste with lagging. D:

EDIT:

08:51:40 EST. approximately.

tried to post in the D-lounge. the page waited 15-20 seconds, then i received a "cannot load page" or something to that effect from iE. tried to refresh a few times and RAF finally defaulted me to a blank 'new topic' page.

i actually half-suspect that this new wave of problems is the server on my end. but right now, we're talking remote white house servers....

ANYWAY. still not having these problems with other pages.



and tonight... on a different computer, different server, different browser. ~06:36:15 EST. website froze.... came back up after i refreshed 3-4 times. it didn't eat my post this time, though. =)

Getting lots of lag at the moment. Keep having to do the copy/paste posts and refresh thing. -_-

Today has been a very laggy day on RAF.

[Aluminator (Kit)]

For me, since I joined, RAF has occasionally had trouble loading a page or ate a post or whatever, but I haven't really thought twice about it until the last week or so. What seems to be happening consistently to me throughout the work day (c. 8-5 MST) is that I can post or load 3 or 4 pages quickly like normal, and then the forum hangs up and refuses to load anything for 20 minutes or more, at which point it will load any RAF tabs I have open all at once. Once it's loaded everything, I can again post 3 or 4 times before it hangs again. I've noticed this on two different computers from three separate internet connections. Granted, they've all been on Firefox (I don't want to have to use IE or whatever for RAF... blech...), but it's not something I've noticed with any other website.

I did try logging in last night (about 12:30 to 1:00 MST) and the forum felt significantly less laggy than it has been. I did give up on posting, however, after several (5?) of my posts failed to actually... like... post. 5 in a row is worse than ever before. There's definitely something screwy going on here.

What I had to do yesterday for both posting and sending PMs, is when it would star acting like it just wasn't going to post--the page acts like it's loading, but nothing actually happens-- is I would copy my pm/post, then open the same page in a new tab, close the original tab, and post it from that page. Seemed to work pretty well, until about 3-4 posts/pms later, when the forum gave me the message that said it's down, and to use Twitter, or chat.

When that happened I gave up on accessing the forum until later that night, and it worked pretty well then.

Basically what Cody and Al said has been happening to me for last three days. 3-4 pages fine, then have to copy/paste post and try again.

[VisserZer0]

Oh my gosh, the last couple days have been laaaaaag city. Happens almost every time I try to load a page. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes this post 56 years to finish.

EDIT: It did, I just had to refresh about 5 times.

[Phoenix004]

It seems to happen randomly, but this lagging/loading thing is still a problem for me too regardless of the computer I'm using. One moment the pages are loading fine, the next nothing is happening and I have to refresh multiple times.
