Boards slowdown

RuggieBear

Is anybody else having boards time out on them when trying to connect?

Not sure if it is that google analytics thing or not....

stevenmu

Yeah, I've noticed it too, just intermittently though, other times pages come up at the normal speeds.

yep that's it alright. Hope another server isn't on the way out?

I wonder if it is actually a google issue as my gmail is acting up too

DeVore

Seems ok for me but obviously the more reports (good or bad) the more info we have to work with.

DeV.

It was very slow for me but is fine now even very fast.
Thats because I plugged out my modem and restarted it and then I got my new 384 upload speed.
I had the new 3mb down since last sunday but the upload stayed the same untill I did that.

You can really notice the change when rendering pages on boards.

There is a problem though some where as up to a few minutes ago it was sometimes taking 2 minutes or more for a reply to be posted.
In my case I mightnt be noticing this as much now that my upload speed has suddenly trebbled but others might.

Chong

It happens intermittently for me, is all I can say.

seamus

Ironically it happened just now for me when I tried to load this page. Intermittent, but been worse today.

Stark

It's been dog slow for me for the past few minutes and at other times throughout the day. Was very bad as well last night at times.

stevenmu

Just happened me there again, couldn't open any boards pages for 3/4 minutes. Thinking it might be related to the problems with the recent broadband upgrades (lot's of people having problems on broadband forum) I tried a couple of other sites, but they were all fine.

Stark

It's definitely not a broadband problem from me anyway. Slowdowns occur whether I'm in work(dedicated fast connection) or at home. The slowdowns also happen while other sites load fine.

netwhizkid

Everthing is speeding along here just fine on a 1mb connection, adblock is enabled on Firefox and there is nothing unusual to report.

Sparky

intermittent for me, takes about 30-40 seconds for a page to load, i noticed it alot around lunch time and 6ish this evening, using firefox after a while a file pops up for download called showthread.php

parsi

yes it has been dodgy for me at home and at work today - other sites are fine.

steveland?

No problems here for me.

Fasterfox (set to optimized, not server raping speeds) reports about 6 seconds to load this page

jonski

Good this morning , but it was slow a lot of the time over Thursday & Friday .

CrowdedHouse

I've got this screen a few times over the past few days,including about 5 mins ago.
Just seems to hang when switching between posts.

Sparky

more than likly too much demand on a certain table at once, if anyone else got that, i can be certain regis or clouds inbox will be flooded, if he has the email function on.

unkel

Intermittent for me as well over the last few days. Load up a page and there is a delay of anywhere between 30 seconds to indefinite (error). Load up the same link in parallel in a new tab/page/window and it is fine. Opera 8.51 here, but have tried in Opera / FF / IE all seem the same

Not at all on a comparable level to the many major issues we had in '04/'05 though

WizZard

No slowdown for me at all. Got an error page on Friday/Saturday I think. but it was out of the blue.

nesf

It's been slowing off and on for me lately. Just there it was at a snail's pace. No other net stuff seems to be effected so I assume it's an issue on board's side. I could be wrong though.

WizZard

At 17:10 it slowed right down for me. So much so that it timed out of two pages. It's been slightly slower than usual sinc then.

WexCan

I'm getting this intermittently today, working through http://bie.cloud.ie/

Sparky

vB has been upgraded to 3.5.3 from 3.5.0 so this may af caused a few errors and slowdowns

Cloud

These problems detailed in this thread were occuring before the upgrade; actually most of our upgrade problems came from the external RSS script which I deliberately dropped from today's upgrade.

I haven't experienced these slowdowns myself but the more reports the better.

Sparky

most slowdowns i get are on showthread.php and on some instances star-adserver

extopia

isn't boards.ie always slow? It's the main reason I don't spend much time here... what gives? On mac, safari.

[btw it took 10 secs to post this]

0utshined

Yeah it is but it's been more noticable the last week or so.

Tar.Aldarion

Happened a few times today, also when did skype start showing up on peoples accounts? Or have I been blind to it.

0utshined

Just noticed the S's today so it can only have happened today. Nothing gets by me.

CrowdedHouse

Boards was down for about 10 mins just now,got that database error screen again just before it went.

The end is nigh :v:

regi

Just a little housekeeping, that's all.

Goodshape

Pie (at least) was still up. And I think www is going a bit faster now.

Exactly!

Sparky

the s's are skype integration in 3.5.3 of vB, thats all.

Speed varies from blindingly fast (8 topics in tabs as fast as I click on threads) to slower than 9600 baud...

That's what I'm getting too, roughly.

Just happened to me now. From very slow and timing out to faster than I've ever seen it in the last few minutes

WexCan

Quick reply has been very slow as well, from home and work computers, middle of the day and middle of the night.

satchmo

Yeah I've been noticing a slowdown too off and on for the last few days, from home and work. Especially if I try to open a couple of pages at the same time, can take up to half a minute for all of them to load. I only came over to Feedback to see if anyone else was having problems, and then found this thread.

satchmo

(It took about 20 seconds for that quick reply to go through, and I'm on TCD's new 20Gbps connection! )

Asok

We are currently looking into the issue, If I have any info I'll let you know

tadgh

Any update on this issue?
Opening pages still very slow ( > 30 seconds) but not always.
Seems to be an intermittent problem

HelterSkelter

I always get a waiting on star-adserver.com at the bottom of the page and it takes about 30 seconds to load. Looks like the ad site is timing out and the rest of the boards page won't load while it is waiting on it.

I get that a lot too.

Time Magazine

Yep on the TCD meganetwork as well and it's taking ages the last few days.

I find that pie is faster than www.
And I find that boards.ie/vbulletin is way faster than boards.ie/

boards.ie/vbulletin is the forum boards.ie/ is just a page that has vBadvanced installed on it. Although I do find the boards.ie/ page loads very slowly.

On and off slow for me.
Like changing pages on this thread took a long time just there... but if I try it again in 2 mins, it might not.

Same here, it only works when it feels like it.
