Board Really Slow Lately

[Nerien]

This board has been really slow lately. Only this board, everywhere else I go is fine, so it's not my computer.

This morning, it was loading so slow I've been opening other tabs, clicking what I want here, then going to the other tabs and doing things there until I finally saw this one was done, then do the next click, go to the other tabs and do more there until this one was finally done, come back for the next click, go to a working tab while waiting ....

I'm running into the same problem, took forever to log in this morning. How about when you do a post? Does the submit button take forever to finally go through and post your message? Anyone else having problems? I'll contact Crystal.

Everything is going slow and has been for a while. I get tired of waiting and hit the stop loading and refresh, which helps a little.

Also, does anyone have a problem with having to login every time, even though I click to save my login and automatically login when I'm on the FF? I used to go the FF page and was automatically logged in, but now, I have to login every time I open Safari.

I have had to log in every time for years now, just lived with it, but I would love to not have to log in, would love it if I could log in automatically.

I wonder how many others are having problems and just give up, it is very frustrating. I've also noticed an increase in duplicate posts, which I think is because people think their post is not going through so hit the submit button again.

It seems like most of these problems have occurred since the latest upgrade to the system.

Posting is very slow. Clicking to see posts or listings is slow. The board just plain loading in the first place is slow. Frustratingly slow. has been for a while. Sometimes so bad I just think, Forget This, and go elsewhere.

I totally understand. I get so frustrated and want to quit, but I need to check posts etc. So, I go do something while the page loads, which is too funny in this day and age. I hope Crystal will let us know if there is something that can be done to improve the speed and loading etc.

If anyone else is having problems or has other issues, please post here, as I have linked this topic in my email to Crystal.

I have run into problems when I think a post hasn't gone through and hit the submit button again only to have things going through twice. I thought it was just me because I use my cell phone to post. Things do seem to be a little bit on the slow side.

It's been slow for me as well.

Also has been slow for me. Both on the iPhone and the home laptop as well as the one at work.

Hello Folks.
So does anybody know whats going on then?

[Hilary]

Crystal has a ticket in with the host.

Hi. Sorry, but what does ticket with host mean??? It all sounds like Greek to me, and my Greek is not good at all.

I contacted Dreamhost's support and we will be working together to try to sort this out. When they checked this site, of course, it was running fast... I think sometimes it is fast, and other times slow. Has anyone had it also be fast recently, or always very slow?

It would be helpful to know *when* it's slow..certain time of day? day of the week? etc.

Crystal the forum has not been too slow for me. Only when I post a new topic or picture can it be a little slower but otherwise ok. People s internet is also slower sometimes when a lot of people are using it. Like after school and work. Hopefully it will get faster for some other people
