For the past 6hours, the pages seem to load very slow for me. Any one else facing this problem?? I am on latest version of fire fox.

Here's a tracert (I'm affected by this problem, highly irritating it takes 1 hour to update 20 mods), could you please pass this along to whoever is in charge of the server .org runs on?

That'd be grand :)

To be blunt it's dragging its tail. VB com is dragging a bit also. Other places I go to are working fine.

I dont think its the server, its not looking very busy. Unfortunately, on the IB network we go through a bunch of other network boxes before you even hit the final server.

The IB database techs are going to be doing some work on the database tomorrow, at around 1:30pm (PST).

Didn't help. Both vb org and com are still taking a bit to load pages.
I look at the vb 4 sections and want to zero in in a question. I click it and it may take 4 to 5 seconds to load the thread. I click back using the breadcrumbs to the vb 4 section and it takes 5 to 6 seconds to load back up.
At vb com it's close to the same times. Might be prudent to move the com and org off the box they are on and give them a quieter environment.
Oh and I'm on a 20 down 5 up cable connection so I don't think it's on my end.

For what it's worth both vb.org and .com are moving at their normal pace for me, and have been.

vb.org is still sluggish for me at times. Sometimes it goes down for a minute and sometimes it's just plain slow. It's tolerable, I'm just saying though.

I feel Terrible when i have to wait for a 20secs for a page to load!!

I know what you mean....

Weird how vb.com and vb.org are hosted on the same server/s and vb.com loads at lightning speeds, while vb.org takes forever. It looks like the vb staff are prioritizing their vb.com site. I understand why, but they should really look into this subject a little more.

IB are aware of the issue. The plan is to move off the same server as vb.com, but there is no eta for that atm.

At least now we know they're planning to do something about it. Thanks for the update Paul :)

Although vBulletin.org gets slow sometimes, it hasn't been slow for an entire month... And its occasional slow downs have been an issue for a long time, nothing new in this last month.

I agree, it's occasionally frustrating because I click on something and have to wait, but to me it's pretty much the same as it's always been.

6 times out of 10, if I click a link, the page will just sit there loading for a while, and then if I click on the link again, it loads almost instantly. It's very odd - I've noticed it in the past few weeks or so.
Somewhat the same for me. If I click it once, and let it do its thing, I get a DNS Lookup Error page, if I click it twice (a few seconds after the first click) I don't get that and everything loads as it should

mmfgamer5

10-16-2011, 05:54 PM

I haven't ever gotten the DNS Lookup Error, but then again, I haven't really waited more than 30 seconds. If I stop the page as it's 'loading', I just get the forum background. If I then refresh it, it's fine.

There is no requirement to add multiple exclamation marks to messages.

In fact, blindly moving server with no proof its actually the server thats the issue could be classed as careless.

As noted above, I also sometimes get the site hanging, but if you refresh, it loads fine. I dont actually know what the cause is atm, but from monitoring Im pretty sure its not actually the server - couple this with the fact that vb.com seems unaffected (running on the same server) - and it seems to suggest the issue lies elsewhere.

Have you disabled your modifications? Reuploaded your default vBulletin files? ;) (kidding, of course :p)

Funnily enough, just to prove me wrong, Im seeing some delays in mysql tonight, causing other transactions to wait on locks

Here's another one (from trying to get to a thread). 98% of the time, this happens to me when I click on "New Posts", unless I click it twice (with a few seconds in between clicks)

the best way to use this forum is using Opera Turbo for me. Since, it almost disables most of the functions, its opening vborg with out any issue but if I consider FF yes I do have issues at times, I have to refresh to get a faster loading speed/time.

I made some changes at the start of the week to cut down the thread locking issues, and it seems to have improved a lot since then. I havent experienced the delays like I was last weekend.

hmm, I had taken time off for an illness, came back to find that this site is still doing the same things. It sits and tries to load, after I while I stop it, refresh and it loads fine. Does this quite a bit. Only on vb.org though.

I'm having to click on the tabs at the top twice to get them to respond. When I click on a thread title to open most not all require a second click.
Log out and in are the same way. On log in I have to click on the text at the bottom(click here if your browser doesn't redirect you). On the log out it just stalls. I have to go out then come back in and log out again.
I think the database is overloaded. There's just too much for it to keep up with and serve members at the same time.
