Re: Slow Forums
I was having seemingly random stoppages...then all of a sudden, magically almost, it'll start back up again. Then it'll stop....you get the picture. It hasn't done it in quite a while though. I thought it was just my crappy dial-up connection.

Re: Slow Forums
I've noticed semi-random slowdowns myself, but I figured it was just imagemod traffic or something.
I usually only have two tabs of shrapnel open. One for the SE4 topic list, and the second wither in a topic or checking out a different area, like the SF forum.

Re: Slow Forums
Yes, I've noticed a 'markable' slowdown while browsing the forums. Often, when I click on a thread I get the "Waiting for www shrapnelcommunity com" message on the botton info bar. I'm using Mozilla and I don't multi-browse when here on the forums.
I even noticed that when I come to the forum login page, it often pauses while searching for the banners.
Anyway, it may be a traffic thing, or there might be a problem with the forum or shrapnelgames.com's htp server. I don't know but I hope things speed up soon.
Nuf said, Cheers!

Re: Slow Forums
Occasionally, maybe once a week or so, everything is working fine for a while, then I click on a thread that I want to read, and I get a "this page contains no data" error or something and then the entire forum seems to be down. Then a few minutes later, it works again!

Re: Slow Forums
When it slows down for me all I have to do is go to a fast page that I know works. What I do is click a thread then I cant go back so I goto Yahoo then click my bookmark of this page and then come back. It goes faster then trying to wait for the thread back to main button
