Slow To Connect To Neowin

[Imran Hussain]

Yup, the forums slow down now and then. Gets fine sometimes though.

[Sethos]

It's blazing fast through OpenDNS here (Y)

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Not really surprising since OpenDNS doesn't affect the speed of the website.

Does anyone from the staff ever read these posts?

I am wondering that now, wish we could get some kind of feedback :(

Just had to wait over a minute for a thread to refresh and had to then wait another 30 seconds to get the thread to refresh with the add post box so I could post in a thread....

I take it it's a hosting issue and not a routing issue?

[Appzalien]

I suspect it may have something to do with the banner at the top of the page, which has not shown anything for quite some time. At least on my PC.

I turned off my web ads blocker for the Maxthon browser I use and the ad shows up now in the banner but it still not opening the page correctly so that wasn't it. I also noticed if I move my cursor over the topics at the top of the page (control panel - main - forums - blogs - etc) they all drop down and stay there. Now thats weird and possibly indicates a proplem with the main page display.

Maybe the site was attacked and they though they had it fixed but there is still corruption in the code.

Still happening to me :(

Long page loads or it doesn't load at all.

[Panacik]

I have had this on and off over the last week or so, but nothing too bad. It seems rather snappy today :D

[Dance.]

Happening to me too :(.

It is slow right now if anyone cares. :rolleyes:

[PaulCabby]

seems fixed for me now. all the pages load perfectly *touch wood*

*edit* ok nvm, got a page load error -.-

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

I like the way the page jumps around after it does finally load.

[Appzalien]

I thought everything was fixed but as I tried to type this post the browser froze several times and then when I went to post what I had written my post dissapeared. Then I had to deal with a frozen browser even to close pages and log out. This time I'm on Opera and things seem better, So its an Explorer thing. Never the less its very irritating and soon after signing on I want to sign off in frustration. Unless they fix it they are definately going to lose new subscribers if not chase away present ones who use Explorer or Explorer based browsers..

Don't you just love how the moderators jump in here and say "we are aware of the problem and are working on it!".

It would appear that they don't care?

I hope they do care I really do, because in its current state Neowin is almost unusable for me. It would be nice to have input from an admin / coder regarding the Forum :/

I do as well but after 39 posts without even a response from staff, it kind of makes you wonder.

[Fubar]

site is fine for me and loads fast , it's probably down to your routing or the isp

[ViZioN]

Neowin was a bit slow for me yesterday, but I think my connection was a bit slow in general due to contention on the line. Haven't noticed any issues today.

Boy , I must have gone completely bonkers for awhile. Next thing your going to tell me is that there have been no posts removed. :rolleyes:

Hmmm, I make a mistake, It is noticed almost immediately. But yet there still in no response to the original problem. :argh:

[Joel]

Yes, but it seems to be YOUR problem. Everyone else here is saying the site flies for them.

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

read the posts that are saying the same thing I am. But we are al whiners according to you anyway.

Same here and the site is rendering very strangely.

Read this one

Yes, I'm having the same problem :(

This one

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.

This one

Just wanted to add that I am getting a few IPS Driver errors as well, just within the last 5 minutes. I even had one in the recent forum activity area.

This one.

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.

This one and the ones that were in fact removed.

[Joel]

No, this would be a problem, as opposed to a lifestyle choice.

This one and the ones that were in fact removed.

I'm sure you'll blame the MSM, but no posts were removed from this thread recently.

Why can't you stay on point. The slowness and unresponsiveness of this forum has nothing to do with the MSM or anyone lifestyle. I don't even know what the hell you are talking about there. I do know that myself and others get IPB errors at times of the day. The site is slow to load. There are problems , but all that Neowin has done since the original report is to stick their head in the sand. Since there has not been a reply after 40 posts, that is all I can believe that Neowin is doing. Now try to stay on topic and explain why?

1. There was not a single reply for weeks.

2. The problem exists and not just on my end, as other sites I visit work fine.

[NienorGT]

1. There was not a single reply for weeks.

Site is ok here and was ok for the last few weeks...

Stop downloading porn/torrent and it will be ok...

I'm sure you'll blame the MSM, but no posts were removed from this thread recently.

What's MSM? Google found: methyl sulfonyl methane :p

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

Sorry but I don't do that, I don't even have a client to download a torrent with.

BTW: All of the complaints were not from me and they are intermittent.

[NienorGT]

Even if there would be 100 complains, that don't mean that Neowin the site itself have problems you know.

That can mean that there is few persons that download like crazy, few persons that have trouble with their PC (Malwares), few person that have trouble with their ISPs, that few problems have occurred between their ISP and the ISP that give IP to the Host that host Neowin, that could mean that the server could have got too many request at that time, and there many other reasons that could happens and that is impossible to fix for Neowin, since they are not from them.

You act like EVERY TIME there is a bug, and someone complain, it's the fault of Neowin.

Sorry, but this is not the case... I would says that 90% of slowdowns and bugs on a site are not actually happening on the site's server.
