Board running slowly?

[CSM]

Can anyone else tell me if they are experiencing any slowness? What are you doing when it happens, just trying to open threads? Posting? I have an ongoing ticket with support, and even though they keep updating that they have fixed the issue, the slowness keeps returning on my end. I just want to make sure it's not just my connection.

Still slow for me on a sporadic basis. Seems more prevalent this morning however.

Been slow on this end for a while. This morning especially.

There is an open ticket still and I'll update here once they find a fix.

has been very slow for me for a few days now. Especially bad this morning.

Can anyone else tell me if they are experiencing any slowness?

Yes, it's usually slow when going to a new page, ~10 second wait and then it loads pretty quickly.

Slow for me too. Has been slow for a few days now. 5 to 10 second wait for loading page. Thought for a while it was just me, It was still slow after others said it seemed to be fix. I'm using opera so thought maybe it was just my browser.

Slow again today. ETA: Jim, any screen refresh is slow. Moving between screens, editing, inserting a graphic, whatever. Hope that helps. About 10 seconds.

I noticed yesterday how it seemed to take much more time to SUBMIT. And, if I happened to mistakenly hit SUBMIT twice. It warned about not posting...bla, bla, bla.

At least you guys know I'm aware of the issue and on top of it. I still have a running ticket with support. At first, they said it was another website on this server that was suspended for abuse of resources. Maybe about the next 3-4 updates I was just told that there was high CPU usage on the server and that it was fixed. The problem always seemed to continue though. The next time I said it was still happening, I was told that it was something on my site that was causing the high CPU usage. WTF? Nothing has changed here, so no new plugins or software that would be suddenly using so much resources. And it seems odd that there was a rogue site on the server, then something was hogging the CPU, and then they think it's software I am running that is eating the CPU. Anyway, they are looking into it again. That's the best we can do is keep troubleshooting it until it's behind us.

Slow for me this morning. Also had log in issues as well

[jimnyc]

A little after noon time yesterday they resolved the issue. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me what was causing it this time. I didn't care as it was fine all day after that up until I went to bed last night. But I woke up this morning and I see the slowness has returned again, even if sporadically. The ticket was re-opened and I am looking for a permanent fix.

[jimnyc]

The site I know is horribly slow. I received a few PM's about it and one phone call, so I'm aware! I'm just waiting on tech support to pinpoint what the cause is. Hopefully I'll be able to update this thread soon and get back to regular speeds.

[Abbey Marie]

It's much better tonight.

It's a bit of a shock, but for once I'm in agreement with FJ over something !

Yes, it's usually slow when going to a new page, ~10 second wait and then it loads pretty quickly.

This exactly describes my own experience.

I did have a very brief period, something like 20 minutes ago, where I couldn't access the forum at all. My version of Google Chrome obliged me, unbidden, with a cached copy of this site dated 31st October instead !

This only lasted a couple of minutes, though. All now seems OK.
