Krayzie Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Having a problem with the forums. Not really sure what is causing it, but it's the case on both my phone and on my PC. Whenever I press the "Forums" Tab between webiste and Calendar it takes about a minute to a minute and a half to load the page. Any other button I press loads in seconds. I'm assuming something to do with my internet? Any ideas? Using Firefox, newest edition Windows 10 Technical Preview and on my phone is Samsung Galaxy Note II Verizon running Android 4.4.2 and stock web broswer Quote
Xernicus Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Well assuming you've rebooted your router, what I'd try is to use a custom DNS server.Google's DNS service gets high performance marks: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/As does OpenDNS: https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/opendns-ip-addresses/My router is currently set to use Google DNS, as I was having an IPv6 DNS issue through my ISP- and Google support IPv6, OpenDNS does not.EDIT: at the *very* bottom of the forum index, there is a line that looks like this: Time Now: Mar 25 2015 08:28 PM Last Visit: Today, 12:37 AM Exec. Time: 0.0674 Load: -- Queries: 9 queries Gzip: GZIP Enabled The "Exec. Time", "Load", and "Queries" can help to see if this is a problem with the forums or your own connection/devices.

Krayzie Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 I'll try that, but up until about 3-4 days ago I have had no issues. Time Now: Mar 25 2015 08:39 PM Last Visit: Today, 11:59 AM Exec. Time: 0.0597 Load: -- Queries: 9 queries Gzip: GZIP Enabled Quote
UAdave Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 On your phone, do you get the same results wifi vs 4G? Quote
Krayzie Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 If I remember correctly it worked on 4G but not on wifi. I will try again once I log off TS. Quote

putts Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 While you are in the forums, if you click on "Fearless Assassins" just below "Website," does it do the same thing? Have you tried using the sub forums and clicking within there? I used to be super slow going into the full list of forums also, but the sub forums were quicker. I would sit for 20-30 seconds before I make it into the full list. I don't know why this was, but as of right now it isn't that slow. I would stay in the "General Section" until I had gone through all of the posts, then move down to "PC Gaming - Discussion" and so on. Have you tried IE11? I have trouble pasting into the forums. I get frustrated and then not show up for months at a time. Also, IMO there are too many sub forums. Quote
Masa_1964 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Have u rebootet ur phone? Cleaned cache? Sometimes (often) cache gets corrupted cause on finisd load or page change and it trys to load it. Masa_1964 Quote
Krayzie Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Forgot to mention that it also does it when trying to view the "Live Update or View Big Spy" area. Logged in on IE Technical Preview it takes forever: Time Now: Mar 26 2015 11:01 AM Last Visit: Today, 10:46 AM Exec.

Only issues I seem to be having are with the "Forums" and the "Live Update/View Big Spy" sections. And I use the "Forums" section quite frequently at night to view the new spam0rs so I can report them Caches cleared, cookies cleared, ran CCleaner and removed 8mb of junk and still doesn't work right. Only time it works right is when logged out on IE or Firefox Quote
Krayzie Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Still not sure what could be causing this. Only happens when I'm logged into the forums. Quote
Krayzie Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Sounds like an addon or widget to me On three different browsers, a phone, and a tablet all doing the same thing? And only started about a week ago? I haven't installed anything new. Quote
Vanaraud Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Maybe adobe flash problem? Event viewer showing any crashes\errors? Quote
