site slowness?


Recommended Posts

I've been on neowin.net for the past like...hour or two, and well, it's been quite unstable. Sometimes it's very fast and up and running at full speed, sometimes I just keep getting "the document contains no data." errors in firefox, and when i try IE, it just doesn't load, without any errors, and the connecting bar just keeps going forever slowly.

Is this a problem or is it just me?

Check out the post in this forum Like "Site slowness" or something. People think its Sunday-Backup day while i've been expierncing it for a week.

I wouldn't say a week, today is the only major problem I've had in a while now. It's just been sluggish all day.

EDIT: Seems to be speeding up as I type.

I'm having access issues as well, but the problems I'm having all come from using Firefox, it seems. In Fx, I get a blank page (sometimes w/out a time out message), whereas in IE6, no issues. Just now, I tried again using Fx, & the main forum page finally rendered, but not well, as the attached thumbnail shows:

Again, in IE6 (which I am using to post this), no such issues........

worked fine in Firefox about 15 minutes ago, but now once again, Firefox just gets a blank page.  I'm posting by using IE6; zero issue w/ IE6,,, :blink:

Having the same issues with Safari here, sometimes the requests just time out (spotted this in the Activity popup). I just have to keep hitting refresh til I get a connection.

Something seems funky with the whole site.

    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.
    • Words cannot express how much garbage this app is.

    • I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
