Problems loading pages

[Tindomul]

Hi, has anyone else been experiencing problems loading orchid board pages. Its taking my computers 3-4 mins to load every page!! ITs been like this for a few days already. And I use two different computers, home, and work, to visit. Both are giving me the same grief when I try to visit either orchid board or vivforums. I'll never get the chance to win the posting contest at this rate!!!!
What the heck is going on?

I have experienced delays at times, not quite 3-4 mins, more like a minute. I believe Marty has addressed cause of this previously.

I have experienced some delays too; doesn't matter the connection speed or computer used, sometimes one minute (never 3-4).

I'm on DSL high speed and it takes several minutes for normal pages to finally open (after 5-10 minutes to get the Orchid Board to come up in the first place) Was fine earlier today and miserably slow now. Can't get "publish article" to come up at all - just hangs the board still and I have to restart IE to get it to work.

Of all the forums I've been on, I have to say that the OB has to be the slowest to load...

Well, for me it was not like this at all until kast week.

I think it's time to start thinking about a dedicated server. I spoke to a guy at the hosting company, he said that on the shared server, which we share btw with approx 400 other sites, we're using the most traffic by a land slide.

I will see what I can come up with

Way to go! If you need to start thinking about memership remeber our thread where we said we'd help out (for a credit like special stars or something)

Hey, wait a minute! I just had an idea! How about buying posts counts?

I can see it now.... rsfrid gets ahead of tindo
