Anyone else been having forum issues in the last 24hrs? No page loads, blank pages, timeouts, etc…
ACK
ack (me too)
ACK me also
Me too. It took 3 minutes just for the page to appear to post this reply.
Started within 1/2 hr of B2 anouncement (I had just started my download)
I think it was an issue of too many users on their pipe..
It seems beter now…

it was not related to downloads. such traffic we can handle.
Hmmm, not really better here.
Still taking up to 30 seconds and more for a page to load…
Best regards,

as normis have said - this is not download related, period.
if it was download realted, then after few hours it would be ended… but it is not.
I have never said this was related to download traffic.
From my net connections (tried over different German providers) it’s simply a lousy connection with ping times over 200-300ms and a packet loss of up to 60% sometimes…
Most of the problems I see are in the NTT backbone area (AS2914).

well strange, tools like this show no problems now:
http://www.gomez.com/registration/instant_test.html
Well, when trying this tool, it won’t work, because a JavaScript function “checkURL” is not defined…
But whatever the problem is - I’m on holiday this week and don’t really care 
Best regards,

this tool requires IE 
Indeed (although this is not mentioned anywhere I could see it) - how could I dare to use some other browser…
But this does not say anything - the measured from different nodes in the US. What I wrote was that connections from Europe/Germany were lousy, and I’ll leave it at that.
Back to holiday 
Best regards,

Did you try that test with an actual topic link? Thirteen seconds to load this one.
It a little better than it was yesterday but it is still slow.

I’m not trying to beat a dead horse here but something is not right. I’m keeping a second browser open to read the news while waiting.
watching the clock on my computer, about 12 seconds from click to this page opening. some times it’s far worse.
I am actually “browsing” the forum with 2 browser windows at once, one to read/respond, and one to load what I’m going to read soon…
Moving snappy tonight!
Edit> Also a change for the better at some point: The forum remembers posts not read!
