I've occasionally had problems trying to post here over the last couple of days - it does happen on most websites at some time or other.

I'm on BT Business Broadband [£90 a qtr for a mere 330kbs!!] so I'm the same as Phil...
I just hit "post" and sit and wait.... and wait.... and wait......
The whole site has got painfully slow. It must be deterring visitors.
I'll run a tracert and see where the hold-up is....... Ah; that might be a clue.....
Tracing route to webs.khoosys.net [195.10.244.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

This has been a topic of conversation in the cellar. I'll pass it on to Stephen.

Yep - DD had problems, but it wasn't affecting the rest of us. I can't remember what Stephen said was the problem though.. sorry.

This has been an issue on other forums. Members on some ISPs have no problems, while others are driven away by horrendous delays.
I hope that tracert gives Stephen some clues; I've tried it several times, but it won't get past that jump.

I initially cured my problems by turning off google's toolbar, but then it all started up again. Not had any problems just lately though.
Screwloose, your tracert results look a lot better than mine did when I last ran it a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what Stephen had to say about mine:-
"we are the last hop from 29-30 on your list above it would indicate that there was an issue before us."
"The other thing you might like to consider is to increase the wait timeout option (-w).

Yes, if you click "Post" and wait you can wait an age for the page to load.
However if you click post and (while the page is loading) scroll up and then click on the blue link to the the thread title (i.e. in this case "Problems posting?") or to the forum (i.e. "Discussion" or "Technical") then you go immediatley back to either the thread or the list of threads and can see that your post is there immediately.

If I wasn't so modest I might suggest that that is usually the case ;-)

However, it must be said (again) that this is the most problematic site I've come across (slow to load, not responding etc) - I suspect it's because there are so many ads and pop-ups associated with this site but if that's what it takes then fair enough.

RE: "I suspect it's because there are so many ads and pop-ups associated with this site but if that's what it takes then fair enough."
True - but do we need a pop-up window for ecar inssurance every time we make an edit?
Having to close down several identical ads will just put people off them.
|
'scuse me but i'm not getting my fair share of pop-ups - not seen the one for ecar insurance yet....
maybe I'll just keep quiet.
|
This site works fine for me from work, but that's a superfast connection - we have our own fibre optic direct into the backbone of the internet.
From home I have an 8Mb broadband which tested at about 7.2; most sites work normally from there but this one is a bit slow.
The worst one of all, however, is e-Bay; if I'm trying to list an item from scratch from home it can take 68 minutes! Even doing a "sell similar" without a picture can take 20 minutes, as can re-listing [ which is a three click process! ].
Re-listing from work I can do four items a minute...
|
|
hurray! I've joined the club - finally got an ecar insurance pop-up. Not changed any settings so how did that happen then?
|
|
Mozilla Firefox suppresses all pop-ups as far as I can see. I get occasional posting glitches but they never last long. Site works very well and predictably.
|
Safari on the Mac OS X Leopard, the site is pretty much instantaneous all the time.
Try Safari for Windows, it is supposed to be the fastest page renderer on the Windows platform too.

If you download Safari, you can View Activity in the Window menu, and see every element of the page, sometimes the fault is with the adverts not loading. You will be able to see this, sometimes they appear red, and sometimes they stick on loading 0 bytes of ?.

Sorry, but I had to remove all those links you posted as they totally screwed up the page width and there were just too many to edit with tinyurl.

Dare I mention the advantages of a hosts file?
