Allan Wotherspoon Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Has anyone else been experienceing extremely slow loading times for the forum pages over the past week or so? I have been finding that it is taking the better part of a minute and a half for each page to load. I have a fast internet connection (15 mbps) and I'm not having the same problem with any other pages, only Battlefront. I had the same problem when ordering CMA and pre-ordering CM-NATO, although the download of CMA was fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 No problems that we are aware of in general, although of course there can always be the occasional slowdown if things are really busy. It sounds more like a network issue, though. Router, ISP? What browser are you using? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also tried with IE (won't connect at all) and Chrome (same slow connection). I've also tried rebooting the computer and the modem/router. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 OK, it could have been some odd (or old) browser, but based on this, I'm thinking it's something between you and our main server that is slow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Just for comparison, I haven't seen any unusual slowdowns. I'm getting pages in a fraction of a second to a couple of seconds, and that's with a 1.5 Mbps connection. Just as a thought, I've noticed before that connections crossing the border are sometimes slow as molasses. I don't know enough about the technicalities to even hazard a guess at why that should be, but I've seen it happen. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Wotherspoon Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Whatever the issue is, it is extremely irritating... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Allan, you could contact your ISP/network provider and ask them. You could also run a "tracert" command from the command line to our server and see where the bottleneck is. I noticed that when I try to use the board's admin function to lookup your IP, it's timing out, too, so it's definitely a bottleneck in between you and our server somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I've been experiencing the same problem for about a week, getting a 2 minute load time. I'm in the UK, 2 mbps connection. Every other website seems to load as normal so I concluded that my isp has taken a sudden and hopefully temporary exception to battlefront. A tad irritating indeed but on the plus side I am learning the art of patience :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It may be the ISP, or some kind of backbone knot. I had problems reaching Facebook and YouTube servers for a whole day a few weeks ago, for example. If anything I'm surprised that the internet is holding up as well as it does and that we don't see outages like this more often, considering how much hacker and spammer crap is going around these days, all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Wotherspoon Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 As of today, the problem, whatever it was, is gone... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Curiously enough, now I am starting to notice an intermittent slowdown. Nothing serious as yet though. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This is what I get when I run a tracert: Right, indicating that you have a bottleneck somewhere fairly close to your end. Nothing we can do about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yes, mine mysteriously returned to normal yesterday as well. I knew patience would triumph eventually :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
