so noone has looked at the bottom of the pages?

Rhuarc, I don't have much technical knowledge of modems, but I used to have an ISDN update and I hardly noticed any speed improvements.

I think most people who have lower load rates than you have have cable or DSL, which are noticably faster IMO.

I saw it las night Markie, when you pointed to it in the other thread. Ummm...its pretty cool and needed!

The thread took 13 seconds to load on my connection. I had no other programs using the internet open. After loading this thread, I went to download the DirectX 8 SDK and it was downloading at 600KB/s.

So the slowdown is on your end a great deal of the time, MarkG.

You need a fatter pipe to support all of the bells and whistles on this new forum.

The record so far today is 143 seconds in the "what's your favourite special unit" thread. I'm on a T1 Line here, too.

Thanks.


Markos,

Maybe you can make it, eh, a little more eye-catching?

[Urban Ranger]

This page loaded at 12.36 seconds on a 56K modem. Not too bad.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

I am at work on T1 connection, and it takes between 3 to 28 seconds to load... i feel it should be faster, and I am using the light style!

[Eli]

To load the first page : 96.23 seconds

Light style, but with avatars.

To load the reply page : 9.72 seconds

[Rogan Josh]

OK, for the record, tried this from home.

The front page (the one with the forum choices on it) took 149 seconds, in light style, no avatars. The Appolyton/Community page I gave up on after about 15 minutes. This is with an ISDN connection (every other site, ACOL for example, loads fine).


Posting from work now, where it is usually <5 seconds for a load (This reply window took 2.818s). (Again this is light style, no avatars.)

if you see that after 30-60 seconds the server has not sent anything, try hiting reload...

[Rhuarc]

Is there any reason that so many people are having problems with apolyton loading? I mean do our servers have bandwidth problems or is it some bottleneck somewhere else? It is obvious from everone's posting that there is a problem with the pages loading. Now we just have to figure out why!!
