Forums are WAY slower since last nights upgrade

[olds]

At least for me.

 

[Brainonska511]

I haven't seen a difference.

 

[sandorski]

No difference noticed here.

 

[pcslookout]

At least for me.

No difference here either.

It's especially slow when I post a reply. It just sits there and thinks about it for 10 seconds or so.
Maybe it's an "olds" filter?


Guess I'll clear cache, etc...

Upgrade to Firefox 4 beta 6 or even the nightly 7pre, enable hardware acceleration. As long as you're running Win7 with a decent GPU, it will fly.

Oh yeah, don't forget to install Adblock Plus. Those slow IBM ads really slow down things.

I've been trying to post a reply to the WoW thread for about 5 minutes now, page still not completing that I can see.

i think its sad that ads are so slow and cumbersome compared to the rest of the webpage that you actually have to seek out options to disable the ads. i dont really like blocking ads, i want the internet to stay as cheap as possible... but they shoot themselves in the foot when they design ads that completely annoy and piss you off.

If you think ads slow you down you should see the difference with noscript!

the forums are certainly a little sluggish for me today.

 

[Anubis]

opening large threads takes minutes. the WoW thread and the Nef thread and great examples of this

hell just opening the PC Gaming forum takes like 30 seconds

Tested in both Opera & FF - both running the latest release versions

 

[vshah]

sluggish here too

yep, and these large threads didn't have these problems prior to the the upgrade.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Very slow for me.

 

[sdifox]

neffing thread is not usable.

 

[rudeguy]

not to complain about a free service that works very well...


but this sucks donkey parts. Its barely usable.

 

[lupi]

it's starting to get extremely long just shifting between forums now.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

This morning, the forums were quite speedy. This evening they are seriously draaaaaaaaaaaaging.

 

[Chaotic42]

Same here.

 

[Barfo]

Yup, painfully slow for me too.

 

[BoomerD]

Horribly slow for me as well. Like the Anandtech engine is only running on half (or less) of its cylinders.

maybe the hamster fell of the wheel? :biggrin:

 

[vshah]

can't even get into the nef thread. it's been "loading" for a few minutes now

 

[sdifox]

lol I can't even bring up the neffing thread now.
