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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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

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?

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.).

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.

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.

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.

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