ORIGINAL: needlesandpins So far FD appears to be the only person not having any issues. I don't hold with his theories simply because if he was correct then surely we'd all have issues with other sites too. However, for me personally this is the only site that I have an issue with. Needles Actually, no. You can connect to 100 different sites and each connection will not be the same. If you get a good route through good nodes, each one will be Ok. But if you happen to hit some bottleneck somewhere along the line, it'll be shit and maybe not even connect at all. This is also true if you connect to the same site 100 times. If the routing tables for every node between you and your target site hit a hiccup, you'll get a shit connection. So to make the (false) assumption that if one site is crap and others are good, then it must be the site just isn't true. For instance, I get really shit responses from Yahoo. Sometimes it takes 10-20 seconds for my mail page to load. There have been times when I've left it for over half an hour and it still hadn't finished loading. So by that evidence, I could accuse Yahoo of being really crap. However, all I do is close the page and sometimes just reboot and it usually works like lightning on the second attempt. For the odd times I find CS slow, I close the browser and try again - that usually works for me. And no, I don't clear cookies and temp files either (I do that every day anyways). Just re-establishing another route to CS often makes all the difference. Does anyone remember the days of dial-up?? You could connect a dozen times in a row and get a dozen different speeds from blazing fast (for dial-up) with smooth surfing to something abysmal that fails 99% of the time trying to surf. I know technology has given us faster broadband speeds but the routing technology is pretty basic. You can still get a shit connection 1 in 100 times to a site you normally surf without problems. That's how this shit works. It's not like walking into a building with one door so there's only one way in and out each and every time. The internet is like going from point A to point B with a myriad of options on how to do it. Sometimes, you need to divert because of road works which makes you late at the other end. Does that mean you'll never ever go that route again?? Or that point B is total crap and you'll never go there again?? Chances are, you'll give it a while and the next time you go to point B, you'll try the same route you've always used. The fact that I appear to be lucky with my connection to CS and it usually works where a lot of people have problems is probably dues to the fact that I'm hard-wired and happen to be in a location that (for the moment) is giving me good routes into CS. But on the other hand, Yahoo is giving me shit most days and has done for the last 6 months or more. In fact, most of what you lot are complaining about CS for is what I get from Yahoo. Yet my daughter can access my Yahoo account from her smart phone standing right next to me and it's fine. It's pretty much down to how you are routed to your target site. So 3 different machines, two different home addresses, different ways of connection, countless times of logging in, you have others telling you about servers and such, yet still this is the ONLY site I, and many others have this particular issue with, but you won't have it that it's the site at fault because you don't have issues with it ... or so you have continuously claimed, right until the above where you now admit that it is slow for you too, so you too also have had issues with it the same as the rest of us. I'm not talking about CS, I very rarely have issues with CS. I'm talking about CC, the forums, they are two different sites, and so far for the last few months, since the advert nonsense, CC has been horrendous to access, no matter how many times I shut it down and open it up. Sorry, but I'm not buying what you're saying on this one. The servers, and the coding are duffed up to yonder and back. Needles
