Glade you mentioned it. I am stuck using my laptop for a few weeks and assumed it was just slow. Now that I think about other sites I frequent are no issue.

Same here. Just this web site.

Add a fuel processor and aftermarket pipes.

I'm sure it's not the site so much as the server it's hosted on. I've found the slow ass computers (with WinXP/IE) at work are the worst. My home pc (Win7/FF and fast) isn't affected nearly as much although it still happens. Mike is probably renting server space (which most sites do). Blame the server/hosting company.

Crap Tim that won't work. All your soft spoken thought evoking wisdom will be screaming at us at full decibel.

Been going on for some time now. Probably getting backlogged at the server level.
I'm running Win7 pro with 8gig mem and this site is the absolute worst for this. This is the only place that it happens.

I thought this is why we changed forums in the first place, so these kinds of things would not happen....

I've been talking with the host telling them there has been a problem. Of course, like all web hosts, they say they dont see any problems.
Eventually I got one tech guy that said he found some errors, did some adjusting, etc, and that it should work a lot better now. Personally I didn't see a huge problem...once in a while I would get a page that would hang there, but it was rare. Now I've been clicking links to forums and threads for the past 15 mintues constantly, and it seems to be working great now. Let me know if you guys see any change, good or bad. Thanks |

Hi Mike, Thanks for looking into it. For me it seems to be hit and miss. It was hanging up just before your post and for a few minutes it was great and I thought wow, it's fixed, then it hung up again. Might be just my imagination but it also seems to happen more when I click on a post listed in the latest post column. I'll keep playing.

No improvement here. No change since I first posted about the issue yesterday.

Sorry to say... the site was hung-up when loading it tonight... and a couple of the threads wouldn't load at all... or at least I wouldn't wait for them any more.
For the record, I am mostly using a MacBook Pro with their latest software (can't remember what it is) Thanks for checking into this for us... it is a real hassle and would be great if it could be fixed.
