Slow forum, or just my connection?

For the past 4-5 days, I've noticed that it takes 30-60 seconds to open a thread or to get a post applied. Is this just me or a common issue?

I look at the user count when this happens and it's never over 45-50 and the spiders are usually around 12-20, so what's the hangup? My signal with the cable is great and I have high speed on every other site that I visit. My cache is cleared and this is the same on all three major browsers. :wall:
 
I get the same problem too.
 
very slow. seems easier to hop to the personal messages area, but I lock up getting into the forums.
 
Everybody go to Shannon's computer because it has been irritating all day. I really have a slow time when I hop from this forum to the Pub for a tall drink of laughter.
 
Same here folks,

Russ

PS: 5-20 (Its OK now)!
 
problems here too. especially when I try to switch from one forum to another forum, like Triumph to Pub. Can take over two minutes, or even give a "server not responding" message.

also often gets "hung up" when I post. but my post goes through anyway.

Yet the BCF "homepage" (www.britishcarforum.com) always loads immediately.

any connection with the new blogs or hosted sites? or maybe an increase in large graphics files on any of the hosted sites?

Were that the case I'd expect it to be slow to respond all the time. This is an intermittant issue. Could be several different things, server doin' a CRON at the same time some other process kicks in, etc.

Kinda peppy ATM.
 
I`v not been on in a couple of days due to Eye Surgery, but in the past i`v noticed slow logon and occasionaly lockup on posting {posts go anyway usualy tho} Everything else on this forum runs as fast as ever.

P.S. The Eye is fine, I just had to have a deeply embedded piece of steel and some rust removed from it.
 
And all of my guys used to wonder why I was so fanatical about them wearing safety glasses when working under a car or with any powered tools.

Forum seems a bit better this morning.
 
The odd thing is, is I did/was wearing my safety glasses, {I can`t see up close without them}. Apparently what happened was the metal fell off of either my hair or eyebrow later that evening into my left eye. Initialy I thought it was either a sleeper or an eyelash {It didn`t seem that severe}. I waited two days {Much too long} before I realised that whatever it was wasn`t going to come out without professional attention. By then rust had already started to materialise and much swelling. Bieng a SHARP drill shard the metal was progressivly working its way deeper and deeper with each passing hour.

I have a slight blurr in that eye now but that will go away once the cornea grows back to it`s original shape {the doc. had to remove a significant portion of the first three layers to get ALL of the rust out.} Quite painful after the numbness wears off I might add!

The moral is if you do get something in your eye DON`T WAIT! Go get it taken care of A.S.A.P.
I didn`t mean to HIJACK the thread with this delema
So I apoligise!
 
I've found the speed to be all over the place....from "instant" loading to "server not responding".

Kerry.... I hope they did a good job and got it all out because if you ever need an MRI that's one of the things they screen for....metal in the eye. Something about metal and that big MRI magnet.....ouch!

Isn't that FUN !
Had the same thing done myself a few years back ... amazing how much the tool he used resembles a Dremel Moto-tool.

Thought I was going to get it again last week; but this time he just pronounced my right eye to be severely irritated, possibly from a chemical or allergic reaction. That was a relief !
 
Yea, a mini dremel :lol:
Must run on an aaa bat. And the drill bit looked like about the size of a hair.
