Something is seriously wrong with this website


Recommended Posts

When I post a reply to a member post, and then post a reply to another post, they both end up as a multiple response in the same post.

This is recent.

Also, responses to posts take about 30 seconds to appear, and often does not.

Pages take a LONG time, sometimes as much as 30 seconds, to load.

And since the site admins are just laughing about it, well, I guess they like it like that.

And no, it's not me.

The rest of the web works fine. Even to post topics on other forums.

I get this, too. Admins, DO something! Geez, I hate waiting 30 seconds for a page to load. It is not me, and it is not browser dependant.

Stop downloading p0rn on the server!

Site has been lagging really badly since about 2 days ago but I've been too lazy to report it. Browsing, Replying etc very very slow. I also VNC'd to a server I have in france and tried the site and had the same experience on that so I know it's not my computer or internet.

I actually asked someone from France too. Same problem. :/

you see this is why we can't have nice things

damned if you do, damned if you don't (talking about IPB and some of the hacks used on this forum, not about the rude sarcasm above) :p

Beyond lag... I'm having a lot of problems on IE9 as well. I haven't been able to comment or create a forum post in it today (it just doesn't respond), and I've probably had it crash about 8 times today. Needless to say, I'm using an alternative for now. But seriously guys, the team works really hard to keep things running smoothly, so give them all some slack.

But 100s of us are on every day. If every member gets a slow page load, there is even more complaints. To say the least, this amount of people complaining is nothing.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
