I Have A Bizzare Problem With FF Only At The WF

Hi Steven

I'm using IE and it's really, really slow for me. But, you say it loads fast for you on IE.

I thought it was just my computer but I'm not so sure now.

It'll be interesting to see who else is having the same problem.

Best wishes

I had a similar problem last week with one of my computers. Actually, it got to the point where the page simply wouldn't load, although it was fine in IE and on Firefox on my other computers.

Whatever it was, it resolved without me doing anything.

Which is not helpful at all, now that I read what I wrote.

Hello Steven,

Go to the update manager and make sure it is not waiting for some update. Go to your cache and empty the cache and cookies. Close FF down and restart. That should do it. On rare occasions, my FF loses the connection with the internet. In this case, I must restart Windows for this problem to go away. Hope this helps.

Yea, I started noticing the slowdown, yesterday on IE. This was happening on my computer at work and home. It's not loading any too quickly, now.

It reminded me of how the old forum used to load.

I disabled a couple things on the forum. Does it seem better now for everyone?

It seems to be either the Forum Statistics we had on the front of the page or the Similar Threads thing at the bottom of all threads. I don't think anyone ever used the similar threads anyway so nothing missed there. But I personally liked the forum statistics on the front of the forum...

Hi,

I've not noticed any problems With IE on dialup In fact this forum is great on dialup.

As far as stats they are nice and I always check them. I'll miss them. However, if they are slowing Steven down, stats must go.

I don't think it has anything to do with the stats. page because the stats. have been up for quite a while.

Much better today. Yesterday was the first I've had an issue in a while.

Note- you could try scaling down the stat cluster to a 3 column top five of your choice... Other places I frequent utilize this and it poses no issue.

I assume you already have this, but in case....
Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics - vBulletin.org Forum

You can tweak this formation one column shy of what's shown below...might work better.
vBulletin.org Forum

We've had the stats for a while now though, along with that similar threads thing. So can we really say that they are the problem? :confused:

In actual fact, it still seems a little slower than normal. It IS a touch faster without the couple of things you disabled, don't ya just hate it when problems like this occur?!

...It's amazing how plugins can have an effect on things! (Think about WordPress, and people with 100's of them installed!)

Thanks

We found the problem and are fixing it now. It was log file issues. HUGE log files. Looked like some type of denial of service attack going on :-)

Should be fixed shortly...

That's what I'm hoping for...

Anyone else?

Thanks!

Im not getting that happen and im using firefox 3

spyware can do that

Try turning off your modem
Clear cookies
Reboot computer
turn modem back on
redownload browser if need be
run a virus and spyware check

Steven, I'm having this same issue right now the forum is loading
really slow and sometimes not even loading at all..

I'm not sure I experienced the slowdown at all myself.

EDIT: Actually when I click to reply or edit posts, it is kind of of slow. Not monstrously slow though.

Happens for me as well. Not just here though.
My working ritual is to exit FF,run CCleaner then EasyCleaner and if no success with that I restart my cable modem.

It could simply be I hate PC's due to constant-never-ending issues with the OS's since switching from DOS(Sniff..sure do miss that OS) and the PC gets too emotional.
ooops! I almost wrote the pc is a female but, THAT would have been REALLY stupid.No telling what torrential rain of rath that would have brought down on me. Boy oh boy glad I caught that one
I'm doing some punishment pushups just for thinking that.

Or could be the heavy positive Ions emitting from my fingers.

Or like quantum physics maybe, because just when I'm sailing along surfing like I'm Duke Kahanamoku, I think "this is too easy", just then I get a locked screen, it crawls or something else and it's like me crashing into the rocks.

Maybe an aluminum foil hat would help. I'll let you know the results.

For my system I get the fastest speed from Opera, then FF,Flock.

I don't have slow loading issues but I do get logged out everytime I come to the forum but ONLY on the main page. Using FF 3

Not sure what is up with that.
