Forum Lag

[whiskey]

Now I am peacefully asking if this problem is being worked on...I don't want to be flamed , but suffering with this for several months now and all the fixes & ad blockers only cause more confusion...is admin REALLY looking for a cure for this problem???
Last night I got "forum too busy" try again later for 2 hours.

What browser are you using?

I'm using IE9 on WIN7 and things seem OK.

 

[rolygate]

Whiskey, can you tell me what time that was, we'll try to see what the issue is from the logs. Thanks.

Roly, from about 7pm Eastern I gave up trying at 9pm

Zoid, same as you IE windows 7

Have you tried Deleting the IE Temporary Files and Cookies?
Also, do you have the Most Current Version of Java?

It's just Darn Hard to know what the Problem could be.

Could be Something in the Browser. Could be Something in the O/S. Could be something in the Firewal/Anti-Virus. Could be on the ECF's end.

Without some Commonality of people who are having a problem, I'm no sure how or what should be tried.

If everyone who had a problem was say Using a certain Firewall, then a peron could maybe rule out the Browser and Focus on the Firewall.

 

[tiburonfirst]

well, since i run into whis on a daily basis i can safely say that problem didn't exist for her a few weeks ago .......

I am having lags but yesternight the forum was never out of line on my end and i was busy surfing at that time

 

[The Wiz]

I'm generally not one to complain myself but the past couple days it has taken longer than expected to access this forum. Even after the forum pop's up it takes up to 10 seconds to go to my subscribed threads. Unfortunatly at work it takes even longer to navigate this forum.

Wiz!

Yes & Yes.........

 

[whiskey]

Tibs is correct.

 

[SilverBear]

Tibs is correct.

...and I have mentioned it a few times as well. I use three different computers, one of them from two different locations.

I notice the lag with these activities:
... getting TO notifications
... getting OUT of the resulting notification screens (PMs and "likes")
... getting into threads by clicking the last page (eg: the "14209" button for "Response on threads")

 

[whiskey]

All the above for me too Silverbear.
Although tonight ran a bit better for some reason.

I think that if a person has more 35k posts that it Corrupts the ECF database.

Do you have ActiveX Filter On?
InPrivate Browsing On?

Gee Zoid, not even a smiley with that comment???

Yes & Yes

I simple way to rule out a hardware or connection problem on your end is to try logging into ECF during a different time period. If the problem is non-existent at say 8am then the problem is more than likely related to net congestion on ECF's end during prime time.

If you knew me , Majestic
I log in at all times of the day, But thanks for the suggestion
I have already ruled out everything on my end.

Glad to hear you have checked it out on your end. I had to ask though. When trouble-shooting you have to start with the basics.

I run a simple virus and malware setup combined with Adblock Plus on Firefox 10. Although there are times when the board is slow, it's not slow all the time and at it's worst (during prime time) it's still fast enough. I can expect 5 to 10 seconds waiting for a page to update sometimes. Then there are times when only a second or two is experienced.

Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes (the $24.95 lifetime paid version with real time protection) keep me clean and free of threats. I frequently get little messages in my taskbar that Malwarebytes blocked a re-direct to a rogue web site, not from ECF, but in the normal range of browsing in a particular day.

You might want to run Windows Defender to check for nasties. You can open it from the start icon by typing defender in the search box at the start button. I'd also recommend downloading Malwarebytes and running a scan on your computer ... that's free. Microsoft Security essentials is also free and heartily recommended by those who test antivirus software. Even if those don't find anything, at least you'll know that your computer is clean and you can concentrate on other reasons, like your ISP.
