Forum issues.

Another site I am using some users are complaining its really slow and lagging out and others are like wtf your connection is bad, its fine for me.

There is something up somewhere

Robbo · 19 Nov 2011 at 16:40

A few weeks ago I had some issues but it's been fine recently. Having said that, I have moved countries so it may have something to do with that...

Try using a different web browser?

Same on iPhone - safari, iPad - safari and Pc-Firefox

Surly it must be something to do with the OcUK server?

Nothing on thee-3G or VM

MisChief · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:16

Ahh I thought it was just me who had problems! I'm with VM.
Browsing on my phone using 3G is fine though.

G-MAN2004 · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:20

Yeah, problems here.

I got banned for creating a very obvious joke thread about it recently.

mrk · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:57

Virgin Media 30Mb here and last 2 days same issue. If I use the HSDPA connection via my phone it's perfectly fine so that confirms it's an ISP related issue and ONLY the OcUK forums are affected, nothing else at all.

Bizarre!

Also a traceroute shows routing issues through the VM network.

ALSO! The routing issues thread on VM Forums had a post update today about.....new routing issues.

So yeah, that explains that.

I'm on 100mb VM and only OCuk is affected, so that explains it. got a link for the VM forum thread?

mrk · 19 Nov 2011 at 19:03

Yeah it's here

Globul · 19 Nov 2011 at 19:03

Think we are with O2, and we are fine here. Also, using Chrome as a browser.

mrk · 19 Nov 2011 at 19:06

I tend to use Chrome as a shoe polish

I'll get my own coat!

unwashed potato! · 20 Nov 2011 at 18:06

virgin media are denying there is an issue when speaking on the phone though they offer a solution to the issue by following the below instructions. prob a better way to do it but this is how they advised.

open chrome -> options -> under bonnet -> nework -> change proxy settings -> change LAN settings -> select use proxy server -> in the address field enter webcache.virginmedia.com -> port 8080

only issue i'm not having is i can't use xampp which is more a pain so will change it back and forth

pingwing · 20 Nov 2011 at 18:13

Ah I thought I was going mad... I haven't been able to get on the trust portion of the forums all weekend which has been odd (also on VM but just the base package)

mrk · 20 Nov 2011 at 18:15

How can they deny a problem when traceroutes show that there is a problem with VM?

Lol.

My theory on this is simple. Everytime Drunkenmaster posts, the amount off banwidth he use's for 1 post will cause that delay of 20 seconds.

But I <3 DM's long explainy posts

Instead of starting another thread can somebody try this site for me please?

www.sgfl.org.uk

Tentatively it seems to have speeded up. Time will tell, thanks.
