Gas up - Let's Go! Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Before I spend three days explaining to the guys in India that I have a problem, am I the only one getting realllllllllyyyy slooooooww responses from the Forum ? I'm also getting lots of Database errors and yesterday got chucked out completely for a while (403 errors) In the past I've had this and it turned out to be a DNS issue in the core network, just wanna know if it's me or not.

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Did i tell the one about the snail that went into a bar?... Did he get thrown out ? I'm glad it's not just me then, at least I don't have to ring up that lot who pretent to know about support Me: Hello, my internet is very slow CallCentre: Is the power light on on your router? Me: Yes, I can get to lots of sites, it's just very slow CallCentre: unplug your router form the wall, reboot your PC, plug your router back in Me: Why, it's working , just very slow CallCentre: Please sir, unplug your router form the wall, reboot your PC, plug your router back in Me: OK done that, CallCentre: now try again Me: Still the same, I can get to all websites, it's just very slow. I've checked the router and my downstream speed is 2589mb/s upstream is the usual 512mb/s. Can you check the core network ? CallCentre: OK Sir, I think it might be your PC, What is your IP address? Me; It doesn't matter what it is, I can access the network, it's just very slow. CallCentre: OK Sir, I see the problem now. Me; What is it? CallCentre; can you take out all of your telephones and move your router to the main socket. Me; No, I can't, it's working OK, just slow. CallCentre; Very good Sir, as long as it is working I'll close the call. Have a nice day....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Alex Posted February 2, 2010 Admin Share Posted February 2, 2010 Sorry guys only just seen this thread. The server has been upgraded so hopefully none of you are experiencing a slow site at high traffic levels now. As for the driver errors these would have been me updating software. I try to do it when the forums are at their quietist, but is often not possible due to time differences :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yep - Very slow since the upgrade and new forum. It looks nice, but it lags, like there's a lot of code being processed in the background, or it's loading a page with lots of hi-res pics...
