ASF site slow recently?

Jump to new
Same problems again this morning. The advts at the top appear first, then there is a very long pause before "Reply to Thread" appears and then a much longer pause before the message box comes up. Typing at usual pace again now but no letters appearing.
 
Could all those who are experiencing this problem let me know what ISP (Internet Service Provider) you are using?

Hi Joe. I too am experiencing intermittent lag as well - today especially bad. Banner ads at top sometimes take long time to load and movement through page is jerky as well. Typing very difficult at times.

Am on a 1.5Mb ADSL TPG link.

Only having problems with ASF, like others have pointed out...


Cheers,

Jeff
 
could very well be the flash problem i described. the ads are flash based and there have been some issues with embedded flash players and various windows patches recently. go to add remove programs and get rid of Adobe Flash Player Active X then restart your browser and see if that helps.

i'm on internode and have no probs
 
No worries here, all seems fine. Might be a tiny bit slower than usual, but nothing noticable for me.

I'm with Adam Internet.
 
Also with Adam Internet and no problems at all.
 
mine is Activ8

The typing is OK now however when I attempt to scroll up or down after loading a new page my CPU (around 4 years old) goes to 90plus% for a few seconds - can't scroll and then CPU drops to normal and everything is fine - the problem doesn't seem anywhere as bad (or have the same impact) on a newer computer (dual core CPU from memory) in the house that was built at the beginning of 2008
 
Looks like ASF will be upgrading to a new server shortly. This will cost significantly more a month but should make a noticable improvement in performance.

I'd like to take this opportunity again to remind everyone to please support our paying advertisers as these are the people who keep ASF online and make upgrades like this possible.

If the advertisers aren't supported they will stop advertising and ASF won't be able to pay its bills.

As always, your support is appreciated.
 
Joe

after checking out numerous sites on the issue stumbled across

http://www.ewido.net/en/

They have an online scanner (on the right side of the screen) and after running it for an hour or so returned two tracking cookies of "medium risk", namely "netflame" and "revsci" - deleted them and ASF seems to be much faster and no CPU overload

Maybe other members could try as well

Hi, i have 2 paid and 3 free anti virus programs that I use whenever my puter gets bogged down.It isn`t a buggy wuggy, thingy wingy problem here for sure.
 
That's impractical, disarray. Need Flash for other uses.
Doesn't seem reasonable to do anything like that when the problem is absolutely only occurring on ASF. Every other site is 100%.
 

Just a quick note for those of you who haven't noticed a difference in site performance yet that the server upgrade will be happening this evening at approximately 8pm.

After that there should be a noticable difference in site speed.
 
Many thanks, Joe. Look forward to it.
 
Sorry all but the upgrade was delayed again. It will hopefully happen tonight.

Apologies.
 
No probs, Joe.

(PS: I've got Flash turned "off" for now and that pretty much fixes the problem - for me anyway!)
 
ASF changed servers last night and we have a couple of minor issues: problems with the uploading of attachments and the chatrooom doesn't seem to be working.

I'm working on this now and hopefully it will be sorted out soon.
 
Okay, looks like everything is back working again...

If anyone encounters any further issues please let me know in this thread.
