Slow loading of the VB-world forums?

[opus]

Does anyone know why the loading of Forums takes so long now, it used to be faster as i remember!
Thanks

prob cuz so many ppl r on?

[sail3005]

Yeah, there are always tons of people on during the day. Try going on at about 1 A.M. CDT. It is real fast then!

Try it on Sundays..It's Even faster!

The only trouble is during the quiet times everyone posts questions, but hardly any answers get posted.

[sail3005]

Yeah, a great oppertunity to increase your postcount by answering easy questions. Sucks if you are doing the askign though!

I am accessing the forums from a proxy, a 56K modem and don't think it's slow at all. Even from home without a proxy and 56K modem, it loads without any problems. The only hitch is the Server Busy screen which pops up sometimes when I try to open 5-6 threads in different windows, all at almost the same time.

Wow...are we this lazy that we can only fully type 3 full words of the seven? And the 3 that he did type had an average length of 2.66. This is a sad world

My colleague used to communicate with our management in such language!

y? whats wrong? i m a programmer. i do what i can 2 save time. my prog tcher always says, "PROGRAMMERS ARE LAZY!". i think its a good thing.

It doesn't save that much time. I type at 110 WPM, but even at 50 WPM it doesn't save very much time. By the way, for most people, it takes more time to strike the "2" key than to type out "to". And if you are an efficient enough typer to be able to strike the "2" key without looking or hesitating, there's really no use in using that, because you can type "to" pretty quickly....

wht dens sys is rit !

Of course he's right! He's always right.

And if programmers are lazy, that's only because they have to concentrate at other times on typing code EXACTLY right. VB may let you get away with things, but C++ will kick you into the next timezone for a one character error
