Forum SLOW, freezes web browsers, etc...

Motobob · 02-11-2009, 07:57 PM

Why is both the older forum website version and the new version so slow, why does it someimes freeze both Firefox and Explorer, and why is it so painful to come here and try and catch on the day's messages? is it a hosting situation because I am on many other forums with more traffic and everything is fast and neat...I am almost given up trying to be a daily reader here....

No problems for me. Speed on old vs. new layout seems to be the same.

The forum freeze my browser quite frequently too - You're not alone

And yes, all the other forums I'm a part of work perfectly

not sure. It works fast on mine. I'm on Firefox.

Fast here to using IE

Good for me unless I open 10 or more tabs then I run a 5% chance of a hanging IE7.

My guess is that Flash has some deadlock bugs - it seems to happen more often with multiple flash players in different tabs.

I'm considering installing IE7Pro and turning on the ad blocker.

Odd... since the site redesign the site has been blazing fast compared to before.

I still get the occasional FF hiccup due to resource issues from having too many tabs open, but the site itself seems to be fine for me.

There were package updates for Ubuntu, including FF to 3.0.6, GNOME, etc. Will try a Post Quick Reply and see if Ubuntu still has the white screen freeze

Ok, I still get the white screen freeze, even with all the package updates applied. To confirm, Ubuntu 8.10 is now running FF 3.0.6. - but the status bar now claims "done" instead of "stopped." Opened the error console and here are the most recent ones, from my Quick Reply attempt
