Faster? its even slower then last night mate....while it loaded i finished looking at stats plus sorting out mail. |waves|

Since it seems to be only you not noticing the new speed, I would think it may be on your end.

Granted, I have a very fast connection but, I can't count to 3 before a page loads.

well since my last post some improvement but everything else loads fine overhere. All my tgps , all my admin, mail flies like a rocket and every single board except this one comes in flying here.

im not bashing you guys or anything. I like this board very much and enjoy reading it. You just made a topic asking bout the loading speed of the pages and i posted my experience. Thats all.

cheers,

boneless

ps i think my 1.5 mbit connection should be enough to get the board loading fast.

Boneless would you mind doing a traceroute and posting the results?

I'm thinking that maybe it is a routing issue. Also what browser/OS are you using?

Using win XP pro with ie6.0

For me, it seems to be fixed. It wasn't earlier today, but the last few tests I just threw at it went just fine.

Congratulations!

That's about the same for me, I'm in south Florida.

I use Mozilla to surf the board.

On the threads loading a lot has to do with each persons button that they have in their sig since those load from the webmaster's server, not the board's server.

It aint fast.......

but it's way faster............ :D

good job people...

DD

well i went to users control panel and disabled all the users sigs and avatars. This makes reading threads a bit faster...replying still takes a load of time for me.

Well the board is still painfully slow for me... actually the "painfully slow" is more like a slow death :(

Would love to read and be more involved in this board, but its so slow, its frustrating, and ends up being a big waste of time :(

I think a lot of the remaining problems are probably due to the old stuff being in people cache's (I know I get the new version most of the time now, but every now & the it hangs & I get the old version)

All in all, it is loading much faster :)

I am pretty sure cache pages are not the problem here. As even after empying the cache it makes no difference. However, after running tracerts using 2 of the biggest ISP's here we are seeing some router problems in the US, so the delays we are experiencing here are obviously not entirley due to load speed of the board.

But hey... if I want to know the important things happening I will go to Dave's Aussie board... and if I want to hear sponsors bagged out, I will go to GFY, and if I was sweet back rubbing I will go to ******************************************... cos all these boards load super quick!

GG this is a good resource with a lot to offer... its a shame it has always been so slow... and I know lots of people enjoy it each day... I just dont have the time to wait for it I guess :(

Well, hopefully these things that are out of our control will clear up & then you can see how nice the board loads now :)

I cant say the word ****************************************** on this board? Regardless of whether iit is in a positive or derogatory way?

It seems to load way faster for me as well and I am only 20 miles south of Boneless like it seems..;)

Kezza - when another board bans our names or domain, we ban theirs - some people don't like us I guess :)

oh that is a shame... very petty on both your parts... would have been cool to see one of you take a stand and not go with the banned words... doesnt seem very groovy!

I uderstand that business is business... but surely it would be good to be the "Big person" and not resort to those stars... no one is here because they care about your relationship with *******... we are all here because we enjoy your banter and chat and advice... and I also thought I was here because I really admired your ethics... I am a little stunned that you and Jim are dealing with something in a childish vein such as... he did it to me so I am doing it back to him

OK... I guess late here and maybe I am over reacting... but I do know I am disappointed

Here's what's happening on my end:

The main page of the board is loading great now... The main board categories are loading great now... However, the threads themselves still load the same way for me as before.

The main board page and the main categories are going ahead and loading the main html immediately, without hanging and waiting for the graphics. The threads still hang until all the graphics are loaded, though.

So mixed results for me, but it's definitely an improvement! |bananna|

The board is running well from here. |rasta|

Hi Kerry :)

Hi Mrs Hackula :)

Hi Urb! |waves|

Ok, I've just noticed something really strange... Some threads are loaded the old, slower way, while some are fast. And the same threads do the same things every time. Maybe it's just me. I did clear my cache, maybe I need to restart the 'puter or something.
|huh

Thanks Boneless. |roses|

For those finding the board slow.... hit your control panel and turn signatures off. :) The boards loads like "Like Shit Thru A Goose" now

boneless to the rescue |buddy|
