Y does the Rx8 fourm take so long to load compared to other fourms?
 

As title states?

it takes long when you click on new thread, go advanced, quote, etc.

What browser are you using?

slowness is either the server being slow, javascript being slow (usually browser dependent) or flash (if the ads are flash) and Flash is a system HOG...

It has a bit a bit slow the last few days.

good things come to those who wait.

(my firefox is slow as hell loading this site..)

^so is mine, and my IE is even slower

beer helps speed up the load times :beer:

Firefox here - I don't notice any slowness.

safari and firefox

I've tested this site on four browsers when I first joined because I noticed the slowness...Firefox was the fastest, followed closely by Opera. Safari and IE were the slowest (Safari was a little faster than IE). It also seems to change depending on the day...some days it's slow and some days it's fast...never slow enough to bother me though so meh

Yes, the last few days have been 2-3 times longer than normal. Slightly irritating.

Paul.

I'm not having any trouble with Firefox. I'll have to try it with IE & Chrome.

I am having trouble with Firefox, im gonna try running it sans scripts and see what happens.

Edit: No noticeable difference using Noscript to block everything except rx8club.com. Also unable to ping rx8club.com so any kind of data test is out of the question. Nonetheless it is noticeably slower.

ditto to all of the above. uploading sometimes takes forever seem to hang.

Safari 3.11 slow on a day by day basis, good one day next almost at a standstill. Had 4.01 (slow always) till mac died then back to 3.11, Firefox slow also. EI for the mac never use but installed for the wif, just crawls.

Sorry, forget I posted this....... everything is wonderful. Last time I posted in suggestions my post #'s got returned to zero for my effect.

The server(s) suck(s). Sometimes the forums don't even load for me, or stop loading halfway. It's really lame.

safari works great fire fox is lame

:piss:

:iwstupid:

It's been rather slow for up to a week now!
More than slightly irritating!
Other sites and forums are okay........:uhh:

safari is ass.....It's SLOW.....

I write web apps for a living and Safari is always by far the slowest POS browser there is..... It can barely figure out javascript in a timely manner. Forget Ajax, takes forever.

//end safari rant

double you tee vee mofo ^^^ :)

your local internet connection could also be the cause of it as well. my firefox is working good.

^...............not in my case!

firefox ftw. no load problems here but I have always noticed the rx8club is a little slow. lately it's seemed a bit quicker for me.

i 20th that it's been really slow lately. ie is the worst, safari is bad too. firefox is ok but still slow. sometimes it won't even load at all. it's the worst after i type out a message like this only to have it crash! [fingers crossed]

GOOD GOD ARE THEY EVER GOING TO FIX THIS???? IS THIS SITE RUNNING OFF AN XP BOX IN SOMEONE'S GARAGE??????????????? :banghead: :rant:

while i havent noticed any particular slowness today i did notice it a little a day or two ago. usually its because 7club is really busy....

IMHO the forum is never slow for me maybe i have a fast connection and good laptop, but every thing seems the same...

yeah fine with me

this website is soo slow because of all the flash advertisements. this website is starting to look like a major league ball park with Fucking banners everywhere and HUGE drop down banners that don't allow you to exit out of them as they bring you to another fucking window. and those God damn bing search icons everywhere that pop up with every time you search. this site is starting get get rediculous.

at least someone is enjoying it. whoever gets the checks.

yeah the adverts slow the site down alot ... especially the flash ones

Ive had to reload everything I've clicked on for the past half hour or so just to get it to load. Multiple times on occasion. Just keeping this updated, it is still an issue.

It loads right up for me and fast lol

I have an add-on called no Script, which blocks all the flash stuff, still takes forever... sometimes.

I have linux (Sabayon) and I simply turn off adobe flash and it seems to work way faster, and on top of that I get barely any adverts, just blank boxes. Instead of 5-10 seconds it's under 1sec.

2 Fast 2 Furious for me...

nah but loads up good for me at home(6mb/s) and at work(400kb/s).

the new page i try to go to sometimes never opens.....its stays on the stupid truck add thats atop the screen.......i dont want to buy a damn chevy .....if did i wouldnt have gotten an 8....truck suck.....8 great

I feel it has always been slower than almost all other forums. it takes much longer to load completely. and often you don't see half the forum till it's almost completely loaded. gets frustrating.

Yea I believe theirs a problem here. I have a cable modem. I do online gaming etc. I monitors my internet speed often, and this site if significantly slower than most.

I thought it was just me but other pages are loading fine and www.speedtest.net and www.pingtest.net are showing my connection is fine.

yup, been pretty slow around here lately.

can we get a fix please?

are you guys kidding or something? this site flys

dude... i can go make a sandwich, eat it, poop it out and come back to the page still .... loading ...

i bet its from all that pics with hot girls clogging up the site

Using Firefox 3.5.4, no add-ins, this site is slow on both 15mb/sec cable modem and our OC3 office connection. Even as I type this, the "Transferring data from www.rx8club.com..." message is hanging on the message bar.

Time of day doesn't seem to influence the slow/ incomplete page loads.

one thing that appears slower is when I actually hit 'post reply', doesn't seem nearly as quick as it used to be.


edit: nvm, seemed fine on this last post. :dunno:

from start to finish chrome says this took 6.48 seconds to load. Other than the PHP script itself (which took 4.32 seconds to load) the worst offend of the loading time is expand_main_table.gif. it took 1.92 seconds by itself to load.

It seems like it's a dead link anyway to that image, unless it's generated during page load so that could be part of the load time issue, bad links that it's waiting for some response.

i ditto the fact it is slow and it is not my connection--for sure. reminds me of the days of dial up.
It used to not be this way.
OD

Its slow for me here also. Home or work..

Yep, I agree...................slow!
Work or home, I'm on a fast connection in both places and same result....................slow!
All other sites appear to be okay.

yea some guy has gone post crazy over there
