Slow Load Times for forums
« on: 06 July 2016, 04:00:53 »
For the past couple of weeks, no matter where i am.  I've been noticing when i post to the forums, that the website can end up loading for while.  I've refreshed, frank it doesn't work all the time.

I've done internet test speeds on my end, its nothing that comes up that wrong.

Don't expect much of a meaningful response.

I don't handle the coding side of things, but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary from either home or the office. Can you give any further details? Browser, time of day, etc.? Might help the code ninjas out a bit.

I no coder either, thou I've know internet actions enough something odd is happened.  I've check my computer, for viruses and other problems.  Didn't find anything, however its only bg.battletech.com it's happening.

When I'm on (when it happens), i notice that as i changing threads or posting, the webpage just cycles.  Last night, it keep going for couple minutes. I hadn't copied the post, so i didn't want to lose the post.  I managed to backpage get it, copy it shut browser down (Firefox) make sure it wasn't just the browser. However the other two tabs that were on were not anymore power/memory needed. Easily went to another page loading it within seconds. 

I've noticed this problem over last couple of weeks, I'm not sure it was issue with my carrier. However, when I'm somewhere else. Using different computer, it still happens occasionally. Up to now, I've dismissed it and lived with it.  Last night was pretty bad, i used a test website see if our website was still up, was still up.

Could host be overloading once in while?

Yup. There's a replacement in the works, but it's not ready for primetime yet.
Power corrupts. Absolute power is kinda neat.

And yet this thread demonstrates that past performances are not indicative of future results.

Not pestering at all, that's what this end of the forums is for- to report problems with the site (and to make pointless snarky jabs at the staff, I guess?). If the issue comes up again let us know and we'll get Knightmare on the job, if we can pull him off one of the half-dozen other things he's working on at any one time.  ;D

Should move a little faster, but improvement will be limited...

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.
