Same here.

They need to sort it out!

Agreed, it's becoming tiresome. It takes as long to load now as it did when I first joined - only I was on dial-up then..

It's being going for days, Looks like too much of a load on the server/s

Buy a server for Neowin and all is saved. Until then, subscribe, click the ads and live with it.

Sorry i hear that every time some one moans about Neowin. I been with Neowin for over a year now and it's just got worst yet i bet more then 10,000 users have joined up since then and some would subscribed.. i know more users on server means server is under stress ( am i right? ) so neowin in turn would understand to upgrade there server..I see same amount of people on per night or around the 1000+ mark.

but..... it cost more to do so, so back to square one :ninja:

I will subsribe when i get paid at end of month :D but this thread was made up for the slowness of the server. ;)

There is nothing you can do when there is a huge userbase like there is. This site was made as a hobby, not a business, so it's hard for the administrators to do anything about it. They aren't going to spend all of their money from their real jobs on this site, it wouldn't be right.

To me though the site was absolutely fine, no slowness or time outs anywhere before they changed over to i IBP, or whatever it is around Feb time, ish. You know they changed the forum type or something or other, (shows how much i know about it). After that it's been getting worse for me.

Is there anything in this?

It seems to me as only the forum is slow, the frontpage loads just fine and fast.

But if you click on a link to the forum.........................................

well there's a difference between loading the frontpage news and all the subforums ;)

But ipb shouldn't load all the subforums when clicking on a "recent forum posts" link to a single topic. ;)

That's what I meant. The frontpage's fast, all links that belong to the forum not.

But I think you're right. If there's much traffic on the site, the frontpage is just less hassle for the webserver. :)

I was just about to make a post about this when I saw this thread. The forums have definetly been really slow lately, the front pages are fine, but the forums are very slow, hope there is a plan to sort it out.
