Things sure are slow
« on: April 20, 2009, 04:19:01 PM »
Has anyone else had problems with just about all websites? The last several days, I have been seeing a bunch of activity in the lower left corner of the screen whenever I go to a site or change locations within the site (This includes BV). Most of the activity seems to concern Google (i.e. googleads, googlesyndication, google(whatever).doubleclick). The logins and site moves take a long time waiting for the various google stuff (this particular session took over 3 minutes to load). What gives? Am I just being paranoid (again)? Or does this mean that "the voices" are going to start speaking soon?

This site has been extremely slow, compared to normal, today. All other websites I have visited seem to be about normal.

Pages were loading really slow for me here earlier. I logged out and logged back in and all seemed okay again.

This is the first time today I've been able to get on here.  It always kept saying it was transferring data from such and such site or place and would just hang.

And even now when I was able to get on....it is slooooowww to respond.

Don't know if it's just the internet or something with BV's servers or site.

And we may never know what is taking place....sometimes things like this happen and then "poof" they're gone.

Oh well, as I always say when something like this takes place....."Thank you very much Ben Franklin."

Now go have a great day.

Not much I can do about Google being slow.
Not much I can do about peoples off site avatars loading slowly.

At 11AM for about an hour, my logs filled up with an IP address coming in from a Google referer, causing PHP to hit max execution time.
The issues may have stemmed from this.
Thanks for the report!

Reset/changed a couple things. We shall see what happens.
Right now, the forums are very fast for me.

Great! Good to hear.
Yesterday, I did experiance one issue that should not have been there. It took upwards of 15 seconds to post a topic, but it seems that is fixed for now, also.

Yeah, things seem to be going okey for now.  I'll chalk it up to mother nature and weird weather patterns.   ::)

Now go have a great day.

I think I may have found another issue with Firefox hanging on topics attempting to prefetch them. As a result, more connections are being held up then what is actually being used.
I need to fix this.

Index page hangs on Mozilla loading "i28.photobucket.com". Also hangs on IE, but simply says that 12 items remain. Once it hangs, there is no way to get to any other page. The only way I could get to this page was to copy the link, exit, and then paste the the URL.

Those items that are hanging are on different domains then here.
i28.photobucket.com is where my wifes avatar is at.
I had someone else email me and tell me that Tonsters avatar is hanging on load, but they are "not" doing any of this for me.
...

The IE hint was a good one.
I just fired it up and I have "never" been to the forums with IE on my desktop.
It hung up serving the google ads... and I could "not" click on any link in the browser.

Uh...

Ok, more testing needed.

Recreated in Firefox... cleared out all cache and cookies, hangs big time.
Fix incoming.
BV EDIT: Well, fix incoming when I figure out what is broke... at least I can recreate the issue. :) Hang in there!

BV,
 
IE works okey for me.  No hang ups or delays.....
 
On the other hand....Firefox is hanging big time when it is getting data from external sources such as the off-line avatars, etc.
 
A few minutes ago I could not get to here (message area) to leave a message using Firefox.  Switched to IE and everything is working.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Bill
