Complaints about the forum being slow

Inability to edit posts.
Same here. Last week I couldn't edit with Internet Explorer, but could with Firefox. This week neither works.

Reply with Quote
Doesn't work any more. Just hangs. I've been cut-paste to create quotes

Last week Firefox was faster at somethings than Microsoft Edge. This week Firefox has slowed down to Microsoft Edge speeds, including opening new threads.

I haven't been adding Laugh meme's because adding new posts is too slow.

The "What's New At GOC" is still badly formatted.
 
In Post #82 I incorrectly wrote "Internet Explorer" when I mean Microsoft Edge.
I can't edit that post with Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.
 
The "Edit Post" button works, but the SAVE button doesn't.

My provider is Shaw and I have tried IE, ME with Windows 10 and Safari with ios. Initially when I log in I get a vBulletin Message saying "Invalid Redirect URL". If I log in again it goes to the GOC webpage. I have also tried my iphone with Tbaytel and I get the same results.

I have that issue with old bookmarks, if it's the same as me, you don't need to log in again just click one of the links at the top like "forum" or "what's new" and then when it reloads you'll show as logged in.

No, at least not for me. Entered https://gunownersofcanada.ca in the address bar directly and then logged in and got the “Invalid Redirect URL: https://gunownersofcanada.ca/“

I notice that the site links are all www.gunownersofcanada.ca vice gunownersofcanada.ca. Could there be some issue there? The vbulltin redirect on login needs to point to https://[B]www[/B].gunownersofcanada.ca?

EDIT: just tested. If I go to https://www.gunownersofcanada.ca (vice https://gunownersofcanada.ca) and log in I do not get the error.

Oh and this was at work which even though that would be Halifax, our Internet on the WAN comes from Ontario.

Been slow loading pages in the last 12 hours. Took a while to load a reply with quote window about 10 hours ago.

On high speed connection with Chrome. No recent system changes.
 
Nothing has changed for me. Same issue(s) I posted about and provided screen shots for above. Messed up "What's new..." formatting and VERY slow page loads.

Southern Ontario on Rogers. Doesn't matter what browser I use (Chrome/IE/Edge/Firefox/Safari) or what platform (3 different computers, iPad, Pixel 2 XL). Same issues.

K guys, if you have more or new information please present it, but repeating the same things doesn't help.
it just makes it take longer to review the post issues.
 
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.
 
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
