Title: Forums running slow?
Post by: WA2OLZ on December 05, 2014, 04:45:07 PM
Does anyone else notice the long delays when opening new sections in the forums? I'm seeing bth on my home system running Firefox and work computer using IE 11. It's been slogging for the last week or so, at least

Yes, same here.

About 3 second to 7 second wait times for the last three weeks.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the amfone page, it will give you this message:

It gives an indication how long it took to create the page.

Page loading slowness could be any number of things including malware, provider issues, method of connection to internet, or just internet busyness. I would suspect, starting the week before Thanksgiving, and probably right up to Xmas, online ordering/viewing/comparing type activities have increased big time. Even Santa is now taking online orders.

Yesterday I couldn't connect at all.  All day long I kept getting that dumb little dinosaur icon...or is that an alligator?

Yeah, I was not able to connect as well...  Something about the server being down...

I haven't noticed any difference here at all, no AM Fone outage.
  
I have Verizon FIOS 10 Mbit download.

It was out for a short period yesterday. A server reboot, an upgrade, someone diddling with the server cables, stuff down for maintenance, power outage, etc. etc. can all play havoc with your Internet life. That's why we have radio to take up the slack. Life does move on even without the Internet.
