Holy Shit This Board is Slow

[red states rule]

At the very bottom of the board, dead center, I added code to show how long a particular page takes to load. I've yet to see an entire page take longer than 1 second to load for me. The server and software aren't prejudiced, if you are having issues, the slowness is on your end. Here is my main page load, and then the load of this thread.

Jim, you are the slow one here. My system took 0.0 seconds to load this page

And not to mention, I have not "always" stated it was you guys. I have listened to many problems and fixed them when they arise, and apologize to the board for the issues. But you've been critical of the board over the years for the way it loads, and I believe admitted yourself once that you have a slow connection. You stated you don't like to have to update your software and don't want to answer questions when I ask you to troubleshoot. I asked you in the announcements section about your computer, then watched you read the thread without replying. If you don't answer, I can't very well assist you. But I can tell you this, everyone I know with an up to date computer and a solid connection is seeing normal load speeds.

Please NOTE I didn't start this thread..just made a post cuz I'm seeing the same thing here..NOWHERE ELSE. Now you just go ahead an get more defensive.

No need for me to get defensive over you and Glock having crappy connections or computers! I merely posted proof showing the board is loading very quickly, and showed that only a couple were complaining - the couple who refuse any assistance to fix their issues. So long as it loads fine for those with normal connections and up to date software, I'm content.

Haven't had any problems here.

Maybe yinz ought to change out that empty bottle of Bud in front of the hamster that's powering your computer.

[LiberalNation]

loads fine for me, only like a .5 second delay.

[SassyLady]

Mine is 0.0

[jimnyc]

The load time will only show 0.0 if the load time is very quick as it doesn't go into the hundredths of seconds. It's not the greatest timer to be honest. What I'm more interested in is whether other regular members are experiencing slowness or not, and one doesn't need a timer to know that.

I don't have a problem with the board. I know that when I have problem it's most often my third world server. My only hope is that cable will add another thousand feet to this service area or verison or another phone company take over this service area.

When I scrolled down to the counter the numbers were were still counting even tho the loading was done. It never stopped until I went back a page or clicked on another page. It's not important and didn't effect me in any way but wanted to pass the info on just in case.

This Page took 3.1 seconds to load.

And when it loads so much faster for 95%+ of the board, you still want to blame the server or new forum software? Sorry, I honestly do feel bad for those who have to wait longer for things to load, but it's on the PC/connection end.

[Sweetchuck]

I just use a middle-of-the-road laptop with DSL, no problems.

Glock - might be time to upgrade the TSR-80.

I post on numerous boards and its just this one that has the problem. So its not my computer and its not my connection. My last speedtest shows 16MB/s download, and I recently upgraded my PC to a 3-core processor, AMD Phenom 8450, 2.10 Ghz, 1.75GB Ram.

Don't lie to me Jim. Darin got you to put some delay thing in, to be used for certain posters.

It makes me feel so special.

Now your "clock" is messed up. It took about 20 seconds before the page was "done", and it keeps running:

This Page took 61.7 seconds to load.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.8.

And yet you're one of 2 people on the entire board having an issue, and you know what? I couldn't care less. You and your lame accusations can go and fuck yourself. If I wanted to "slow" down your lame ass I would just ban you and rid myself of your incessant whining. If you don't like the speed or anything else here, feel more than free to take your troll posts ANYWHERE but here.
