Why does this forum lock up all the time?

At least 4 times a day. Usually after I hit "submit post". It happens on multiple computers at multiple locations. I can go to the homepage but I can't go to any of the forums from the dropdown box. I usually have to go to another site for a few min and then keep trying www.dvdtalk.com until it finally works. What the hell is wrong with this place? I know it's not on my end. I don't have these problems as frequently anywhere else. Not daily.

Forums been having those issues for ages. Seems like it's just a bit to busy for the servers at times.

I've been getting the lock ups more than usually the past couple of days though, also usually when submitting a reply.

I've noticed a few freezeups when opening a new page or viewing a thread, in my case the slowdown is intermittent and related to the ad server, I think.

Happens to me all the time to. Everything will be fine and responsive and then it's like a switch is flipped and the server doesn't respond at all for a minute or 2 and then it's back working normally again. It seems like a threshold is reached on the server well before it actually gets slow.

Hey! I was just gonna post a thread about this today!

Howdy, raven!

You know, I've thought that it was that too, but if I try and load another site (from my favorites), they load in no time, so I know it's not that. (At least on 'my' end.)

I'd even be willing to chip in and actually PAY-CASH-MONEY if that would help to stop it Once & For All.

(Oh & BTW: Thanks, Mo! )

I've gotten used to it over the past year or two. Annoying as it is, it obviously won't drive me away, lol.

Too many viewings of "Chained Heat" perhaps.

It locks up when The Edit King gets a little too excited - It drives Geoff nuts but he's learned to live with it.
