huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 As the title says. It's taking 18 to 30 seconds to open a topic or to accept a reply. Just ran diagnostic on my computer and it's ok. Broadband speed is 56.5 mbps. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It does seem to be stalling after I've been on here for a while. If I click off I. E. and reload it fixes the problem, yet other sites don't need this 'fix'. If I click submit reply, it can take ten seconds to register. It was okay before the glitch at the weekend, most odd.

spaddad Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I was noticing speed problems last weekend, site was so slow I just checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've noticed this too, thought it was just me but it seems to take an age to reload a page. The other websites I'm visiting at the same time seem to be running at normal speed so I don't think it's down to my PC or broadband connection.

Mike Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 We've been noticing the odd moment of sloth from time to time, and I'm going to apply the most recent update to the forum software shortly, just to rule out a bug that might now have been fixed. If we're still experiencing these instances of the software seeming to drift off in a daze, we'll get Support involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Slow? Yesterday, if it was going any slower it'd be going backwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just logged in and it is taking a minute to open anything. I closed window and re-opened and it was fine for about 2 - 3 minutes then slowed right down again. Then it took ages to send this before it froze completely.

stevej60 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Seems a little slow here too,in fact since the from Russia with love GB was posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I've not been hammering the forum this evening (doing some pretty heavy file copying across my home network ATM), but I've not noticed any sloth tonight. I'll keep an eye on it though, and bring it up with Support now that we're singing from the latest hymn sheet, as it were The upgrade to the latest version did seem to improve things for me, and the update process was so quick I bet most of you missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 At times this evening (iPhone 6/Safari) it's dragged. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Had problems on and off with the sloth since Sunday, both on my Mac at home and my iPad here at work! When I started browsing tonight, about an hour ago, trying to open any of the streams that I have saved, took 5+ minutes to open. Once opened, browsing is both quick and sloth like though not necessarily at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just turned the lappy off. Love this site and will be back, but the delay in opening links etc. is a little frustrating. Having said that, I really appreciate the unpaid efforts of chaps that put in so much work for all of us, so, please, please accept this as constructive critique.

Pete in Lincs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's just gone into slomo for me again, yet other sites opened instantly so it's not our wifi. I tried reopening I E and it worked on the third try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Really slow then frozen so closed it. Worked ok for 10 minutes then slower than before so I shut down again.

rayprit Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I find if I read a topic, then click to return to view new content, it can hang for 3-4 minutes to get back to where it started from............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I don't mind it... I'm a nostalgic kind of fellow and it sort of takes me back to the good old days of dial-up. Times when I could make myself a cuppa or amazingly do a spot of modelling in between clicks!! Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'll speak with Support. I've not been having too bad a time of it today, but I've not been on much. I'm wondering if it's a reoccurrence of an old issue. I just can't remember for the life of me what the fix was BTW - the last go-slow caused a few double-posted threads to be created. If you spot any, just flag them up with a report, and a Mod will come along and blat them forthwith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
