I have not been coming here for a while now and then I started coming back and using this site again a couple months ago on a regular basis now and it is very very slow compared to what it use to be like. What happened in the last year that made this site so slow and are there plans for fixing it?
This site performs as well for me now as it ever has.
Really? A good example would be this thread we are in right now. If I hit refresh it take this page 45 seconds to reload from start to finish. That is an awful long time for a refresh. I do not have this problem anywhere else or on vBulletin.
I wonder why I am getting this problem then? Maybe it is taking the long way and going through china to get to the vB.org server from where I live. It never use to though.
Check your proxy settings to see if you are not going over some slow proxy server.
Also check your PC for malware.
It is not malware and I don't think it is the proxy settings because I am on DSL.
It does it on every computer I own.
Oh wait, It went back to normal. Everything is loading like it use to now. When I am in a large thread and go from page to page it moves right along again.
When I refresh still takes 45 seconds though. Must be something to do with the refresh.
