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?

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
