forum slow

[unit_399]

I run a Alcatel 3G wireless moden down here, and pick up the net from a Comcel cell tower approx 1 1/2 kilometers away. The forum main page usually loads completely in 5-10 sec. Only time it is slow is in a hard rain, 'cause it screws up my link with the tower.

I asked the hosting company to look into the performance. They said "everything is fine" but clearly something is working better.

use firebox and download the adblock plugin. that thaink is unbelievable. just click on what ever images you want blocked and set the filter. you can block for just that picture, site, or anywhere on the net. firefox makes things fast and when it only has to load what you want it to its even better.

Believe it or not but go to IE and open tools/internet options and delete the browser history there and you'll get remarkably faster page loads in firefox.

I use firefox also but they're the one's who said to clear temp files in IE and I also reinstalled FF today and made it even faster.

Good to know you're still out there 292.

Of the dozen or so forums where I post regularly, this one is by far the slowest. On average, probably 4-5x slower.

Same here. I've noticed it for a week or so.

 

[Moleculo]

It's time to look for a new host.

I am having the slow issues today also, Firefox , DSL and it just shows waiting in wwdx.com for about 30 sec. on each item I try to open. Do NOT have the same on other forums today.

This is what I have noticed. I use FireFox and DSL. I did the temp files thing in IE and FireFox but nothing changed. Like I said previously I noticed it for the past week or so.

It's the host. I'm going to have to upgrade to a better host, more bandwidth, etc. I have some recommendations that I'm exploring for hosts that know how to deal with a site like this. The current host isn't being much help.

We completed the transition to a new host tonite:

Please keep me updated on whether or not performance improves.
