CF really freakin slow?

Hmmm... I'm not meaning to nag and of the admins or mods, I'm just throwing in how it's behaving for me...

I've in on and off CF since about 10 or 11AM and there have been a few times when I would hit a link and it wouldn't load for like 2 minutes or more. I know it was solely a CF problem, because none of my CF tabs would load, while I was browsing just fine on other tabs.
 
I was gonna make a thread myself, then I saw this.

IF any posts/threads of mine actually get through, it takes ages.

I'm not waiting for 7 pages worth to load, but I'm guessing server maintenance is to blame?

If you take the time to jsut read the thread you will see that people are working on it, ian is in constant communication with our hosts who are working to fix the issues causing the slowdowns and server crashes. They have a fairly good idea of what the problem is, fixing it is a matter of time.

Don't forget that trying to diagnose a problem, from our point of view (mods and admins) is just as difficult... we too are using the same site you are, its not magically faster for us... we have to deal with it too.

Yes, this is consistent with other's experiences, thanks for the info

Again, read the thread, other members have at least taken the time to read what we have already written, server maintenance is not to blame in this case, the problem is being sorted, it is a matter of time. please be patient.

I understand that things take time to fix and that there is no specific time-frame for everything to be back to normal. A daily update would be nice even if it's just 'it's still slow-new update tomorrow'. It's hard to read a 7-page Thread when each page is taking +/-60 seconds to fully load. If I were a newcomer to these Forums and saw this lag, I'd high-tail it over to techPowerup and spend my time there instead. But I've been here for a bit, and I like it; so please pardon me for wanting our beloved Forums up and running ASAP so we may continue to assist those with questions.

Also, FWIW your responses, Dragon, seem to be a bit snippy; not something folks generally tend to expect from a Moderator, but to each their own.;)
 
People! It will get fixed when it's fixed! It's not like you are paying to come here! (at least I'm not :) )

Patience!

Every forum I have ever belonged to has had this same problem from time to time, deal with it.

And I don't blame the mod's for getting snippy at all. People can't take the time to read all of the pages, and then complain when the mod's get frustrated with you for saying the same thing over and over.
 
Well if this helps...

I think it has to do with the search index or the cache since i tried to search for do you hate dell and went into advanced and looked for thread titles and it timed out on me.

Just throwing out ideas.

yeah agreed, it's not like we live here, if CF doesn't work can't we just browse the net looking for news ,google etc ? :o :P:P
 
It is only slow for me when I post something. Actually, when I post I have to always go to the back button because it never loads. Then I refresh the page and my post is there anyway. This is still very annoying though.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this site has been transferred to a different less busy server. The speed over the past 12 or so hours seems to be ok, and is an improvement over the past few days. Thanks everybody for your patience.

Yes. For me, the speed appears to be normal. Thanks, Ian. :D
