forums incredibly slow for anyone else, or just me?

Reaper 392 · 12 Sep 2011 at 18:59

as the title says, the forums have been running stupidly slow and unreliable for me: pages wont load completely, pages wont load atall, pages will take 5 mins+ to load, etc. i've done all the usual: restart PC, clear cache, reset router, try different browser, etc, but nothing is working. every other site i go to is perfectly fine but not this one.

is anyone else getting anything like this?

Just you. The hamster in your PC must have died.

A few people remarked on this at the weekend. There has been a lot of stop starting on the forum over the past week. Maybe one of the admins should take a closer look.

The forum was really slow for me earlier. I thoght it must have been my 3G, but guild wars and lotro were running flawlessly and other websites were fine.

This certainly happens on broadband and has been quite noticeable over the past week.

it has been intermittent for me, it's usually really quick but recently have been getting odd pauses loading pages every so often

Xelene · 12 Sep 2011 at 20:08

Been running very slow for me since Friday. No other sites affected.

No. Reinstall the internet. Just be sure to make a complete backup first :cool:

very occasional mega slow down. But quitting the tab and coming back 10 seconds later solves all problems.

Randomface74 · 12 Sep 2011 at 20:22

not exactly snappy - but not really broken either

Fine here.
