KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted July 15, 2011 I don't know if this a suggestion or more of a concern but has anyone else experienced some serious lag and load times on the forums? Sometimes when I come on, the pages take long to load and my replies take long to post. I just keep seeing the green 'Loading...' bar in the top left side of the forum. Before anyone says a smart ass comment about my internet connection, I'm running 12.0 MBps and every other site loads quickly. It doesn't happen every time but I'd say every other day, at different times of the day, this happens. Oh and I'm using Chrome if that makes a difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I've been experiencing things like that too, KiLa. Such as yourself, other sites I visit are faster and more coherent with the speed of my connection so that's not it. I've found it to be more of a problem during the night - which I guess is a little understandable because of the increase in activity.

Krawnka 282 Posted July 15, 2011 Yep, after lunchtime CST, these forums slow down alot for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted July 15, 2011 I experience the slow down at those times as well, which I thought was somewhat understandable. However, I've recently experienced it during the morning, around 7:30-8:00 AM. It lasts for about 30 minutes. Right now for example is running perfect.

Krawnka 282 Posted July 15, 2011 Could it be from the amount of pictures and .gifs on this site? Coupled with a running chat engine? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 15, 2011 Are all of you using Chrome? I am not sure why the browser would matter if all other sites load normally and quickly? Although... I am no expert on computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted July 15, 2011 I am not sure why the browser would matter if all other sites load normally and quickly? Although... I am no expert on computers. Just curious, because I haven't noticed any slowness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 15, 2011 I've contacted HostGator about the issue. I definitely don't believe anything is wrong with the forum itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoneKrusher+ 1,276 Posted July 15, 2011 I've contacted HostGator about the issue. I definitely don't believe anything is wrong with the forum itself. theres been 4-5 members having the same issue, dont think its on all 5 of our computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah at this point, with the amount of us experiencing the same problem, it stands to reason that there has to be something wrong with the software of server. Or maybe not something wrong but maybe something needs to updated? I dunno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 15, 2011 theres been 4-5 members having the same issue, dont think its on all 5 of our computers. I never said it was your computers. It's clearly an issue with out host, not TGP itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoneKrusher+ 1,276 Posted July 15, 2011 I never said it was your computers. It's clearly an issue with out host, not TGP itself. thats right you didnt, i did. i was thinking it was my computer three weeks ago when i first had a problem here, i was just sayin now it has to be with the site or host server. my bad, i should have not quoted your post. :beerchug2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Packers Dynasty 2010 116 Posted July 15, 2011 I've been experiencing this problem as well. As well at times when I click on an article it will sit there and try to load forever but if I click on it again it will load instantly. I'm using Chrome if that matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As well at times when I click on an article it will sit there and try to load forever but if I click on it again it will load instantly. I'm using Chrome if that matters ya, same with me. the other day i was posting in the What Are You Listening To thread and as i clicked post it just sit there and i ended up clicking 4 more times and had 5 of the same post after 5 minutes. luckily i had the option to delete 4 of them but that took 20 minutes. lol as i said in an earlier post sometimes the site works perfect for me, no lagging at all but 60% of the time its lagging really bad.
