forum loading time :(

[BlackBerryUK]

Hi All,

is it just me or everyone feels the loading time to open the forum categories takes a long time? its really frustrating.

also... I really liked the (last posts) link on the left hand side..is there another one somewhere?


i loved the old forum..now am not too sure.

thanks

The Last Posts is now called New Posts in the top menu. Speed will be sorted with the database indexes once everything is settled down and all changes completed.

Talking about the speed at the moment.... I have to be honest, these forums are actually working faster for me than the old ones! I am on an 8meg ADSL line but I was before also. Pages are appearing instantly for me.

Im finding them very fast to open and Im on a 2meg ADSL line.

 

[DuaneJackson]

I'm having no speed issues here.

 

[Rob Holmes]

Loads fast for me too - 2Mb ADSL

TBH not noticibly better or worse than the old forums

Mine is still remarkably slooooow - it takes 18 - 20 seconds to load a page it is now pointless to use this forum anymore.

Strange - as you can see I've answered this pretty quickly after you posted and I've checked the server load and it's all low.

Plus they've loaded fast for me in firefox.

I have to say Internet Explorer is slower.

Wjat are you using? ie ? ff? Broadband?

Hi

The speed problem is recent - in the past it has been fine. I have no problems with any other sites / forums I visit.

I am using IE6 on a BT business BB @ 1meg? but the download was ok when I was on 512kb

Fast for me as well - For the new posts only just drag this link to your shortcuts:

My only grape in FireFox is the screen jumping around as it sets the layout.

supplimentery comment.

The logo and banner ads load almost instantaneously - its the forum below that takes the time. still no change late on friday PM

Speed is really fast for me

Fine here too

 

[profitxchange]

well I have now downloaded firefox and IE 7 beta and whilst FF is marginally faster the loading time is unrealistic to be able to participate in this forum at present

Cheerio

Presumably if its fine for everyone else it means it has to be a problem with your ISP or something conflicting on your computer? Maybe its one of your programmes running in the background causing the problem?

Just as a final comment.

All other forums I access load fast with no probs. It is only since you upgraded your forum that the problem with UKBF has emerged.

I have a very simple computer set up - no special or complicated progs.

I would mention that the UKBF logo and the banner ads load instantly - its just the forum that takes forever.

I don't imagine I am the only member that has this problem as it was not me that started the thread. I feel you should have a techie take a look at your end not mine.

Bye

Well I am with BT too, IE and the speed is great .... dont have any issues with it ...

Hi px,
I have had everything checked and honestly cannot see anything that can be done to speed the forums up any further than what has been done already.
If you are running any firewall software, could you check that you are not running 2 firewalls on your PC by mistake? For example, if you have ZoneAlarm installed check you do not also have the Windows XP firewall also enabled. Also check your cache settings of your web browser, have it set at around 20meg. Finally, make sure that the cache settings are set to check files daily and not "every time". Failing that we are going beyond my technical knowledge

Well I'm on Firefox, Dial-up (40kbps) and it's quick for me!
