Complaints about the forum being slow

Also those posting issues note what area of the country you are in.

As it stands it's almost exclusively Ontario that has the connection issue.

If its other places I need to know, because it maybe location access filtering or something else.

SW Ont. Android phone using Samsung Internet. Virgin=Bell's network. Right now no problems. Will update this post in 3 hrs from home...

Still no problem using the Bell cell network.
Back home on Rogers.
Firefox still showing the slow loading and loss of formatting on Whats New.
Downloaded & installed Chrome just for giggles.
Same results as Firefox, with an additional wrinkle:
Tried to update this post in Chrome and the Save button hung me up.

Not so much a complaint but an observation,
when I do a Post Quick Reply what used to happen was it would be added to the current browser's page (very little http data sent/received),
whereas when I do a Post Quick Reply today the entire page is being refreshed/resent from the server.
Where this is observed most often is in the running live commentary threads at GoC (we haven't had one in a few months), and the Laugh thread -- where as you're adding replies the page in the browser can temporarily have a hundred posts scrollable rather than the usual 10 max per page.

Good point! I was noticing that too with the Like button. But not today here and now in this thread.

Site has been working well for me this morning: FF on Win10 in NS.

For what it's worth I'm in Montreal on Bell Fibe. Had a few small issues but nothing big enough to bother about.

When the site went https was a bit buggy but I just deleted my old favorite and added the new https and not a single problem. Speed seems fine, and everything seems to work ok.

Right now, the forum is perfect.
Fast.
"What's new at GOC" formats correctly.
Edit's work.

I've had Microsoft Edge open for hours on GOC, doing nothing.

This is now working normally/correctly as well.


Also "Reply with Quote" is working again too.

....and GOOD MORNING!!! All seems to have been reborn as a sequel to The Fast and the Furious. No more slothing around! (6:15 Eastern but it is a time to celebrate)

[RangeBob]

Pushed "Like This" and the telephone rang.
Might have been a coincidence.

I have not nothing to the site to be honest.... so this is good news to hear there isn't anymore issues, but i'm still confused to the issues, besides the possibility that its a localized issue

[RangeBob]

Well, that didn't last.
Slow again.
"What's new at GOC" badly formatted again.
"Reply with quote" hangs again.


I closed Microsoft Edge for the previous hour.

[RangeBob]

Edit's SAVE hangs.

Hmmm...my issues with slowness, incorrect formatting and inability to edit and quote, remain.

[chuckbuster]

Aaaaand of course...just to prove me wrong...the quote function seems to work now; albeit very slowly. The edit function remains non-functioning.

[RangeBob]

Forum is fast again.
Everything works.
