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
Yeah, for me, little bit Last night then pretty bad this morning. I wasn't blaming Shrapnel's computers or my DSL connection -- I just figured some random internet pipline slowdown. Now that you mention it Atrocities, I'm not so sure about the cause. I'm off to go check SANS to see if there's a worm going around the ISPs have to filter.
[EDIT]
No, nothing like that is happening. Hmm..is there a recent patch to a Shrapnel Game which is being mass-downloaded and tying up the server.

Re: Slow Forums
I thought it was my connection, but I uploaded a 20 meg file in under 5 minutes and then downloaded a 200 meg file in 10 minutes so I know it was not my connection.
I'm wonder if we should buy some Shrapnel products or not?

Re: Slow Forums
How many of us are using FireFox with multiple tabs open to threads?
