Right guys this is starting to pee me off.

4 different browsers on a MAC so it isnt a operating system issue and the is site is getting slower by the day.

I mean i cant scroll down when i open the page as its still loading.

Never been like this before so i really dont understand why it is all of a sudden.

It isnt a connection problem as its 16meg.

I just dont get it.

 

Its not just me then, as its really slow today.

 

Slow for me as well i have been on to my in internet provider there is no issues & done a speed test no faults either been like this the last couple nights i put it down to my broadband.Every other web site is ok. Was not too bad today on here but tonight is a nightmare so frustrating

 

Ping passionford.com and put up your results.

My ISP is BT.

says it all

 

Mega slow for me too loads things up in stages like a 512k broadband connection. All other sites are fine.

 

FROFL @ Rick's "subliminal" ad

Yeah, horribly bad loading for me, has been for a couple days too. It just sits there doing feck all for a while before even attempting to load, then when it does it's like dial up, and as mentioned, you can't scroll etc untill it's done.

Same result using Safari, FireFox, and IE7 on two different machines. No other forums I use have this problem.

It's SO slow to load that on my iPhone I keep getting time out errors, where it's taken so long for the server to recieve and acknowledge the request and facilitate it, that the request times out!

 

Is any of the mod team seen it or going to do anything about it? its mega bad at night

 

Thanks for your input guys, I will raise a ticket for this and get it sorted.

 

 

Shockingly slow again tonight

 

The guys have traced this to some UK ISP's that are heavily overloaded and are looking for a solution with them.

 

yup slow for me

 

Good news stu its really bad again tonight

 

Pages seem to be loading quicker now

 

Seems strange considering it's fine on other popular forums. Look at my ping data. That doesn't point to an ISP related issue at all, seems more like a peak traffic related issue which is server related?

 

Still slow for me tonight

 

Slower than ever right now. User CP just loaded up in 5 stages with about a second or two in between. Usually comes right up.

 

I call bullshit on their opinion of it being an ISP related issue, multiple people on multiple ISP's all experiencing the same issue but only with Internet Brands websites.

See my ping results below, notice scoobynet and passionford both have poor pingbacks.

 

abit captain obvious isn't it

 

Slow for me too sometimes also get logged out too.

 

so very slow again; waiting for 30+ seconds for a thread to load

 

Same for me tonight again gets right on your nerves

 

Very slow here virgin 20meg

 

Really slow tonight.

 

As above very annoying

 

its taking 10 to 20 seconds to load a page ,has been slow for days now

 

It seems to be getting even slower for me, 10mb virgin broadband, and only this site is acting up

 

How many Passionford Administrators does it take to speed up a website?

 

I started a new thread below this with last nights date on it to try bring it to their attension

 

slow for me to

 

They moan when you put a thread in general discussion but its the only time you get feedback

 

So bad for me. I always hold back from posting on these threads as I feel I don't really contribute much to the forum, but fuck me, it's hardly bearable. That's why I've hardly used PF for the past few weeks.

 

It's hilarious isn't it, the amount of Mods who would have seen this or Administrators and what feedback do we get? Surely they know what they are doing about it so why not simply pass the message on. Pointless having people who aren't even remotely technical who are willing to interact with the people having the problems. Waste of space eh!

They'd soon be fucked if people stopped buying gold membership.

I've seen enough of Johnny B's Mrs so I don't think I'll be renewing mine.

and again

 

I don't know what to tell you all. We aren't able to figure out the issue. We have been informed by a member on ScoobyNet that one of the IB owned forum sites works swimmingly in the UK however.

This was told to us yesterday, and I've instructed the people I report to, to find out what it is that's different about that particular sites set up as compared to PF & SN.

Hopefully this investigation yields us some useful results that lead to a solution for your speed issues.

Believe me, if we could flip a switch and make the issues disappear, we surely would.

cheers,
robb

 

Any updates?

I could've sworn this place is getting worse just took me about 10 seconds to load up a thread with 3 replies and no pics or sigs

 

10 secs would be nice - it took best part of a minute to load up this thread, and whilst it loads you can't scroll to the bottom or anything

As others have said, it's ONLY this site that is the problem - I use 4 other forums and don't get this problem, nor with Google, or Youtube, etc. And it's not my ISP, as it does the same on my iPhone also

 

really slow for me as said page comes up but have to wait for it to load, i think they need to pedel a bit faster.

 

Terrible for mee as well
