    OT - Is This Site Slow For You?

    This site has gotten slow as molasses for me lately.

    The pages take forever to reload.

    Every time I post or click a link, there are so many stalls and delays.

    It's been ongoing for a while.

    I don't have these problems with any other sites.

    Is everyone seeing the same?

    To further clarify, it always seems to get hung up waiting for the ad to load at the top of the screen.

      has been for me too.. it could be the ad servers... that is usually the culprit..

        Same here. I couldn't even access the forums until just now. Been trying all morning.

          Since my MAC bit the dust (never let your wife handle your goods, well at least your tech goods :P ) I've noticed slow page loads... but then again, I now have a very cost effective DELL laptop. I have always attributed it to shotty technology, but I guess I was wrong.

              Every now and again it slows down on me but overall I think the performance has been good. When it does slow down you can see it is waiting for the ad server.
              As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

              but Go Steelers!!!

                Sometimes I can't get this site to load at all or it freezes. Sometimes it takes a while to load pages.

                  I'll have times where the site is very slow, with a page taking a few minutes to load. Usually, if I come back in a few minutes, the issue is resolved.

                    lately when posting I have had freezes and have to click forum.. if I refresh I end up with 2 post. Not really a big deal but I think it's probably all the off season rethreads slowing the servers down.

                    LOL.

                      Ditto for me. More than half the time when I post it just hangs up. If I go away and come back in a few minutes it will have posted. But it takes away from the "creative flow"!!

                        Re: OT - Is This Site Slow For You?

                        It's the ad-server that causes the delays. Many times if I'm just reading I'll click initially, the ad-server will be slow, I'll then click the "x" to stop the load and then the refresh button and it reloads instantly.

                        If you do this after you post a reply though you will get a double post. I guess it's the price we pay for a free site.

                          It only seems to happen during the day for me, but it is often quite bad. It honetly took about 5 minutes to load just to get to this thread.

                            Thanks for confirming what I'm seeing. I was wondering if it was my computer or something I was doing.

                              That's what I do also Pappy and it works well for me although I still don't have it as often as some of you are reporting.

                              What I have a problem with is when posting a reply where I quote someone and the reply is long I'll be typing and it just scrolls up to the top of the reply. Then I can't see what I'm typing so I scroll down to the bottom but as soon as I type another character it automatically goes back to the top. Does anybody else have that issue?
