For me, it happens when I try to open a thread. It hangs, and won't load until I refresh it.

It was pretty bad at one point weeks ago, then was fairly minor for awhile, but now it happens with about one out of every five threads I try to load.

Using IE and a T1 connection now.

Edit to add: And what Fumanstan said. All hours of the day, multiple browsers, multiple computers, multiple connection speeds.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

It has happened during posting for me, but I am on DVDTalk a lot during the day, and it seems to be completely random to me. Perhaps you aren't seeing because you aren't as addicted to this message board as the rest of us.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

I honestly haven't noticed the slowness for a few days now.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

A few brief hangs had me wondering if it was back, but then if I reclick the link, it loads fast. Seems to be mostly OK now.

I've had the same thing happen and have reported it to the IB tech people.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Nevermind. I have already had quite a few hangups today.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

It's the ad servers.

Damn, I keep reading "sad" servers.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

It's been almost unusable at times over the last few days, requiring multiple refreshes to get pages to load.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

super slow for me as well. IE9 on Windows 7.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Oddly, it seems to be working better in Firefox than Chrome today. I can't even get most pages to load in Chrome.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Bringing it up in the tech que.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

This happens to me somewhere around half the time, if I had to guess.

First attempt at opening this thread:

Second (where I guess the CSS load timed out):

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Forum links and posts loading slow in IE8 on XP SP3. -kd5-

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

I haven't had one failed try since using Firefox today and yesterday, but Chrome fails to load almost every page now. There's nothing different about how they're set up (i.e. no proxies, no separate DNS servers, etc.).

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Last couple of days have been awful for me

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

I've had to completely abandon using Chrome. The waits are awful on DVD Talk. Firefox seems moderately faster.

Me too. I've been using Chrome for everything else and Firefox for DVDTalk. I may have to switch back to Firefox if they don't get this fixed.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Chrome is still barely working. Hope they are looking into this.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

I believe that this has been "escalated" within IB but cannot speak with any authority as to the likely actions/results that will flow from said escalation.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Going to try to get a close look at this today. Fear not, I feel your pain!

Paul

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

I was just coming here to report the same issue. I've been having a lot of delays today, much more than usual, using Chrome. Seems to be doing better, though. Thanks for looking into it!

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Also coming to report, since it's been erratically consistent for a few days now. I've seen it worse, but there's a noticeable delay from clicking on anything to when the page displays. I'm using Firefox.

I've been talking to IB about that exact behavior. Posts generally take a while to commit as well.

Re: Forums Slow Loading Lately?

Things still load just a little slow in Chrome, but it's been much better. Nothing seems to be timing out tonight.
