Lucylastic -> Is anyone else slow? (6/8/2010 4:03:25 PM)

Nah Im not asking for comments on my mental abilities
thanks tho [:D]

I seem to be having hell alones trouble to connect to this section of the board (Casual Banter), to the point that I get a timed out error eight out of ten times.
I just wanted to now if it was me or anyone else. It happens in chrome and firefox, and I can access all other URLS without a problem
I know this is a busy board, just putting thought out there. If I should have asked suppport first, my bad.... but im nosy too

I am not having any troubles on Chrome. Have you check with your Internet provider?




Lucylastic -> RE: Is anyone else slow? (6/8/2010 5:02:31 PM)

Thats the weird thing, I only get it for this site
Altho Im more than pissed at my internet provider at the moment as it is,

I had that same problem a few times.  No idea why, but eventually it fixed its self.  It was strange, I could go to any other section in the forums, and go to collarme.  No probs anywhere else on the internet.

Today I haven't had it. But yes, it's happened before. Just figured the servers were overloaded.




tropicalhoney -> RE: Is anyone else slow? (6/8/2010 7:06:23 PM)

I've only had it twice, but like lucylastic, I only experienced it here. In fact, the second time was earlier today.

When you connect to an internet site, it's not like a guy named George hooks up a wire between you and them. There is a long chain of connections between you and the server. Any one of them at any time can be prone to heavy traffic. If it is specific to this forum, perhaps many people connecting through the same chain, or parts of it which may be experiencing heavty traffic.

Also you could be a victim of selected bandwidth limiting by any connection in the chain, which was a recent topic.

For example the line voltage in your house is supposed to be 120-125 volts. In times of heavy AC use, that may drop because the system is heavilty loaded. But if the power co purposely drops the line voltage it is a nono. The government is considering stepping in and providing the same type of regulation for ISPs. This was quite a debate not too long ago, as I am against anything the government does. Except in the case of monopolies, they should butt out.

It really is more likely a traffic problem somewhere in the chain. If that is the case, usually closing and reopening the browser should fix it, but not always. It depends on just where the problem is. If the internet can find a better path to the server it usually will, but sometimes there are bottlenecks slowing it down. And it won't be every site, it depends on the location of the server you are trying to access. If it's closer to your end it will likely be a bunch of sites, but if it is far away it could be only one, or even one page.

I'd bet the problem just fixes itself.

I prefer to believe George is working on it...
