Forum Loading Very Slowly?

RuskieTitan · Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 1:23 am Post subject: Forum Loading Very Slowly?

I've noticed that sometimes, usually around nighttime, the forum operates very slowly. It'll take 30 sec to a min (or longer) to simply load a new page or have the 'post a reply' window pop up.

Just wondering if there's a reason for that. My internet isn't a problem - I'm able to browse other sites / stream videos / play online games without a hitch. Is the forum undergoing maintenance periodically or is there some other reason?

Just curious and concerned. Thanks.

Been having the same issues for the past 7 or so hours now. Something up with the forums? Too many people online?

Usually when it happens for me there is a little tab in the bottom of Firefox and it says Transferring data from some ad net site. Not sure if there is an ad hanging it up when it happens or maybe so sort of avatar hosting site that slows it down. But yea I have the same problem pretty often. It happens with IE for me at work too.

Try using a different internet browser while you're experiencing this to help pinpoint the problem.

Subsilver seems to work much faster for me.

So I've been having major slowness because of "waiting for tag.contextweb.com" to load.

Searching the googles, it seems like a lot of other message boards experienced the same issue and decided to just turn it off. I cleared the entire cache on google chrome and it started running much quicker but when it started loading tag.contextweb.com again, it started slowing down. Talking about <15 seconds to load a page.

Anyone else notice that?

I pulled the contextweb.com ads and the forum should load normally again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
