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.

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.
