Sorry for creating so many feedback threads recently but it became a real pain to navigate anywhere within the VBF (not sure about other JM sites).
I really don't know what's causing this but it would be great if there is something that can be done.
The downgrade of performance is very consistent and obvious not to notice even on fast connection.
It's happening for a few days already but I think today was the worst.
Thank you.

Most of my problems (slow downs) are when I navagate back from a thread to the New posts query view. Some times it's actuall quicker to just select the New Post Menu item.
It's alright now so was yesrterday and monday morning. Throughout the day however there are constant delays, timeouts, more dealys (and very heavy too but without the timeouts) and so on.
Last night was the worst of it.
It was as I described in the previous post but at this second it's blazing fast.
The problem that I experience is that all of a sudden it will come to a dead end and it's consistent throughout the day.
I was just about to start a thread on this same issue. When you click on any link, the forums take forever to load. By forever, I mean more than 5 minutes. I've only received the message Fazi stated once.
It normally happens to me at night time (after 12am EST) but I've seen it happen during the daytime also. I was going to ask at what time there is maintenance going on the forum servers to see if that was the reason for the navigation taking forever.
@ techgnome - are you not able to press the BACK button to get back to your message? I am...
PS #1
I just actually tried to post this message and got the error Fazi stated. Now it's 2 times!
PS #2
Well, it seems I'll keep getting that error as long as I insist on submitting my reply.
[vb5 & starting to move to vb2008] I appreciate the help I get from everyone. Thank you.

Normally, yes.... but not when the site goes south.
I've given up complaining or logging when I have issues. Mainly because the site becomes so useless I can't even navigate anywhere to complain about it.
BTW slowdowns and timeouts again... in the last 5 minutes.... just trying to hit the quote button
Yes, we are all experiencing site issues lately and the developers know about the issue. Other JM sites are having issues too so hopefully it will be something they can figure out soon. Its not a usual isolated VBF issue but spread between several of JM sites.

Re: Site is impossible to navigate anymore [and it's getting ugly]
The thing is that when you [under normal conditions] hit submit button more than once within disallowed time frame you will get a warning messagewhich obviously did not happen (or does not happen) when site is very slow.
It may become a serious problem.
I first deleted two posts but decided to keep the rest of them so mods can see what is actually going on...
I deleted the rest - as moderators/admins can see deleted posts anyway.
It looks like things were going quite badly for you at that point.. hopefully the people who deal with that side of things will get it all corrected soon.
Re: Site is impossible to navigate anymore [and it's getting ugly]
Yes, RB. When the site experiences one of its "moments" the duplicate post function check isnt working correctly probably because the post hasnt actually been added yet so it cant detect that its a dup.
Usually for now Im just using the "Last Post" feature on the quick reply box which writes your reply's content t oa cookie in case the site malfunctions. Then when you get back you only have to click the last post function and it will repopulate the reply box with your content.
Also, pressing the 'x' stop button in your browser and then waiting a minimum of 10 seconds and then trying again seems to be the workaround for now.

Re: Site is impossible to navigate anymore [and it's getting ugly]
Nope, nothing yet. I am waiting for any news just like you. Its just that this is just not limited to VBF so its making it allot harder for the developers to debug.
Although, the page hangs when you reply or navigate at the x:58, x:13, x:28, x:43 minutes of the hour are allot shorter now. Something like 30 - 60 seconds vs the up to 6 minutes ones we had before.

Re: Site is impossible to navigate anymore [and it's getting ugly]
Interesting thread. I've probably been on less often over the last few weeks, but it has been from various systems, and I have only seen a problem one time, and often not at all. This appears to be sporadic both in who is affected and how often.
Re: Site is impossible to navigate anymore [and it's getting ugly]
There are few VBF Web Designing issues as well. I have attached an screen shot. so you get the point. I am Using Redmond's IE7. I also checked it with the North Pole WebBrowser Opera. The problem varies each and every browing. But a problem exist in the bottom part of the page.

"Last Post Feature?" eh?
Fazi - I've seen that a couple of times too.... I chalk it up to bad design on the ads themselves, not so much VBF.

In the quick reply box if you loose your connection or something you know how you loose the text you were trying to post? Well if you click the Last Post link it will restore it for you.

Well, I'll be..... never noticed that before...... wished I had known about that sooner.... I could have used it last week when the system ate some of my posts...
[RESOLVED] Site is impossible to navigate anymore
