No JP - I had serious issues during weeknights, weekdays and weekends. Mornigs, noons, afternoons - you name it.
I don't think it's load related - tt could be blazing fast and literally "all of a sudden" "bang!" to a point of no return.
And if I managed to look at the number of users - there will be nothing extra ordinary - the same few hundreed or so.
you mean the timeout issue, or the slowdown? they're two separate issues. I was of the opinion that the timeouts was a hardware issue, but I don't get them on the weekends or at night, which would seem to indicate that its load related. So you get timeouts on evenings and weekends?
To me those two are one issue - there is never one without the other - it's like happy marriage.Quote:

Just for your information - today at arround 1:00 PM I did experience slowdown while trying to post reply but it didn't last long (few minutes at most).
Here's what I've been experiencing today (all times Central)
8:34-8:35 - slow down
8:42 - slowdown.... again
10:40 - another slowdown
11:23 - once again....

I have been getting quite a lot of "Connection Refused" errors today while trying to browse the forums, particulary trying to view the second page of this thread. First error was about 2:30AM my time (GMT +10:00), and last one was about 2:36AM.
Thank you for your input, and especially for the times. These can help in attempting to track down the cause.
(But most of all, thank you for your patience. :) )
I have noticed the timeout errors seemed to have stopped (knock on wood, cross fingers, pinch of salt over shoulder)

I've had 5 timeout errors in the last hour (it's about 1:50 PM here)
oooooh... so THAT's where they went...I wondered where they had gone off to.

I timed out 3 times trying to get to the last page of this thread.
It has been intermittent for me all day long. This last one was 2:45pm MDT.
This thread is two weeks old and I recall some problems before that as well. How's it coming along?
Thanks.
Past few hours up to this moment are slow.
Actually, I haven't had any issues since my last posting.... go figure.

I some times use a dial up connection.It took ttttttttttttttttoooooooo much time to load(even 5 mts for the home page).Very painful

That is probably not related to the site specifically, which, by the way, I have had 0 issues with for the past few days.
Anyone been having any problems lately?
I haven't been on much for the past week due to a myriad fantasy drafts. But it's been quite peppy so far today with no timeouts for me.
It's been reasonably fast and I have had no connection/timeout issues for a few days either.
No complaints here either for today - yesterday was a bit slow throughout the day.
I'm sure our site admins will be very pleased to read these last few posts. :)
I've noticed the difference myself, and I made the appropriate parties aware. They get all the complaints so I figured some good news was due. Besides, they need to know whatever they did is having an effect, so they don't reverse it.
Thanks JP.
my pleasure. I haven't seen any timeouts on any of our forums in days. I think maybe we can mark this one resolved? Or am I jumping the gun?
I havent been on much the past couple of days but the site has been back to normal and relatively fast :thumb:
Did they change something or ???
It would be my peasure (and it is!) to mark it as resolved. :thumb:
Things have been super all week long. The only hiccup I had was today, waiting for one of the ad servers to send its ad. Definitely something out of VBF's scope of influence.

I had a timeout/general slowdown yesterday from around 2:57pm to 3:03pm eastern. Other than that, it's been fine.
I concur. No issues at all to speak of.Quote:

I had a page hang a few minutes ago but after a couple of refreshes it was fine.
You had to go and say this didn't you? :DQuote:

I still think the page hangs are from the VBWire News feed. There are times when the vbwire news is unresponsive and causes the page to hang and when it finally lodss their is no news displayed. Kind of like having to wait for a timeout.
VBWire didn't slow me down but it did come up empty quite of few times recently (in past week or so).
I have noticed this as well.Quote:

Thanks for putting up with and conveying all our complaints though :thumb:
