things slowing way down again this morning


Recommended Posts

I don't know if you guys saw my post but I have been having troubles with this website while using IE 10 in Windows 8. Works fine with Apple Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OSX 10.8.3 Beta 1 however, also works fine with Mobile Apple Safari in Apple IOS 6.1 Beta 2.

It was better for about a week. Back to absolutely awful again.

There is no reason (from a viewer standpoint) why it should take 17 seconds from when i click on a topic title until i can actually view the topic. Don't even mention posting or editing...

Unless things change for the better for a longer period of time, why should i ever pay for a subscription again? I mean, the slowness of the site is actually much more the norm than the exception. Not a criticism, but an observation.

Edit: 24 full seconds from clicking post to seeing this.

Edit2: Actually, editing is almost instantaneous. Weird and impressive at the same time.

I need to chime in here. After several weeks of this, I've also noticed it happens pretty much like clockwork around 11pm EST. Give or take a half hour on both sides (Before and after) as I've noticed it happening at 10:30pm up until shortly after 11:pm.

Maybe there are a lot of scheduled tasks being performed around that time every night? If so, can they be spaced out?

I clicked on a link to a thread, it sat loading for a moment and I looked at the time wondering what was taking so long, 11:02pm. So I go back to the main page and click this thread to come report and from 11:02pm, it finally loaded at 11:13pm. I also stopped and clicked on the link again halfway through that.

There is definitely something going on around 11pm that's causing this.

11pm again, like clockwork.

Just took another 10 minutes to reopen this page (When I hit post on my previous post, it just said posting and never stopped). This time I got a couple of database errors before it came up again.

Edit: This particular post, posted within 5 seconds.

Double Edit: The forums are back up to speed again at 11:22

I actually have to say, it does seem to slow way down around 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. It is now 11:36 PM EST, and I started noticing clicking around various threads was slow about 30 minutes ago. I then clicked in this thread, saw the 11 PM EST theory above, and I am thinking there is definitely something to it.

yeah same for me, usually slows down around then (around 10:00 pm CST for me) and then again usually around 2:00 am CST when i'm occasionally still up

I can confirm this also. It slows to a crawl nightly at 10:00 pm CST

4:20am I clicked on a forum link. No deal. I clicked on Forums to come post in this thread after sitting for a few minutes, it's now 4:36 and this page JUST loaded.

Not sure what's causing this but whatever it is brings the forums to a complete stop for several minutes. It's really obnoxious. Then of course all of a sudden the forums are running like a fresh install :huh:

Also side note, like clockwork last night at 11pm the forums were apparently choking on something. :D

I'm using a brand new amped wireless router on a subscribed 12mb connection (often is 15-22Mbps) and a brand new core i5-3570K system with 16GB RAM and Windows Server 2012 on an SSD drive and it's still slow sometimes...

I just got a ZTE N860 (warp) and it's slow on it on wifi and 3G.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
