vbulletin board hangs

I have seen this on multiple other websites as well. I dont think it's a client side issue like the browser or the PC.

I was pretty much waiting for it to happen after the switch and i just experienced it. AT was basically completely unresponsive for a good 2 minutes.
 
There have been about 10 times over the past two days where I have had to stop surfing AT because it won't load.
 
Seriously though, if there's anyone that can track down and bitchslap this issue... it's our AT boys.

Hopefully they can get the speedbumps worked out and we will wind up better off than with fusetalk.

I don't miss the timewarps.
 
It's been pretty bad but it seems to be getting smoother everyday. I think the admins did a pretty good implementation of the vBulletin 3 year plan. I guess it kept their jobs through the economic downturn to turn a port into a 3 year project.

I had some issues that seemed to go away after I removed Akamai from my Opera block-list. Akamai is a content delivery network that is used for, among other things, serving ads and the Apple store.

You know everyone involved in the conversion and in running this forum is a volunteer, right?
 
I switched ISP's during the rollover and thought Qwest was being intermittent. I experience these dropoffs a lot, but found its only this forum dropping off (thankfully, but still sucks.)

I'm pretty sure nobody but Derek gets paid for the forums. I believe that has extended to the migration team as well.

The hiccups have been annoying, but I'm happy with the migration and I expect them to resolve these availability issues soon. Maybe I'd be a little more annoyed if I knew they were able to get the resources they need, but my impression of these forums is that Anandtech in general neglects the hell out of them.

I've found vBulletin tends to scale kind of shitty. It seems vBulletin really struggles on exceptionally large forums. Digital Point and XDA Developers have a lot of issues with their vBulletin implementations.
