I don't know if this is related but when I am on the main page, I get the error page that comes up when the site goes down telling you to goto the IRC, I refresh and it goes away. I click on a link to go else where on Neowin, and I get the same error, refresh and back to normal.

Been having that behavior intermittently since yesterday, both front page and forums.

It tells me there's been a database error, and after a few refreshes the page eventually loads.

i use k-meleon 1.5.2 and i've been having problems as well. usually i can't load pages (or it takes an extremely long time for them to load), network timeout errors, ips driver errors. this makes it almost impossible to browse neowin.

when i try to browse with internet explorer, pages freeze for 5-10 seconds or so. i can see from the task manager that the cpu usage jumps up to 50%.

Apologize in advance for bumping an old thread if I shouldn't have, its not that old.

Last few days, about a week or more even maybe, browsing Neowin forums has been a struggle. It seems fine and super fast bout 70% of the time, but then I just get pages that take foreverrrr to load, load all messed up with no formatting if they do, or just get this timeout error, constantlyyyyyyyyyyy.

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

I've tried adjusting different stuff in Firefox, no pipelining, ipv6 on and off, no adjusting of connection limits, and just using another browser entirely, Google Chrome (official version not the dev version) and IE8 (that ships in Win7 beta). Having exact same problem in every browser no matter what I do.

Before say check firewall/network settings, I have, and, Neowin is the ONLY site I have this problem with.

Its becoming reallyyyy irritating.

I've had problems with the site for some time now but I blamed it on my browser (Maxthon) what happens is it takes several seconds for a page to load but after it does it freezes there and my browser is completely usless until it lets go (usually 20 to 30 seconds if I don't click on things longer if I do). The only other places I see this type of thing are sites with very aggressive ads that try and force their way thru the popup stopper or something. If when the page is frozen, if I click too much the browser becomes completely unresponsive and will not come out of it. I suspect that either the site is trying to show ads that my browser fights with or the site might be infected with malware. There are some really sneaky and troublesome site infections floating around. Within the same page, like editing this post, theres no problem it just happens when changing from page to page or opening the site to log in.

I am still suffering from excruciatingly long load times about 70% of the time, sometimes the recent forum activity box doesn't load at all and other pages will load with what seems like no formatting from the CSS.

Starting to wonder if something is up with Windows 7 or Firefox :/

No, I am having the same problems at times. It is probably due to heavy traffic on the servers, but that is just a guess.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
