hey guys
I know it is my problem, my computer hates this site.
I really enjoy coming here but it is such a nitemare to navigate everything as it takes so long.
My posts, few that they are, for the above reason, seem to randomly appear in different formats.
So I am asking in advance that folks dont get all in an uproar or something, if said posts appear randomly different. Each time I log in it is like a crap shoot for me, as in I just go with what works at the time.
I is not going to change... I know this... I am just saying is all.

One of the problems with speed lately is the number of cookies the site sets
There are a lot of third party cookies set this takes time even with a fast Internet connection.

Does it seem to be a loading time issue? Have you tried using a different browser?

Agreed - it's not just your computer. I guess it's just something about a photo website. If jdeg would just host it on a Cray, I'm sure it would run a lot faster.

haha, I wish! The site is hosted on two dedicated servers (shared with a couple other sites of mine) that have multiple cores each, with some help from a CDN for some of the static files and lots of caching.

Unfortunately these are the product of the advertising we run, which covers costs of the site. They are not a bottleneck though. Images and vBulletin are.

I'm on a slow wireless broadband connection with an ancient computer and ever since I changed my browser the site has been running better than it ever has for me.

i'm noticing a lot of lag wherever the mod fotojack has a post. he has several links in his signature that never load, so of course i get lag until it times out.

hmmmm.....interesting. On my browser (Firefox), I don't see any links in my signature at all. Perhaps you're looking at an old post when I did have those links.

no, its not old, the post count is obvious. they are there. and i get the timer on my cursor wherever you are on the board, til it times out. the broken image icon confirms that. you should look in your CP/sig area and delete them.

Yeah, I went in there and saw the same thing you did. I deleted the broken pics. I didn't even know I had them there! Thanks for letting me know, :)

I was having the same problem earlier today. I've never really been on this site on my laptop just my iPad/iPhone so I never noticed the lag. I logged on thru the laptop today an was surprised how much lag there was when the site was loading.

If you are having issues posting please press f5 to reload the site. If that doesn't work, clear your cache and reload the site. If all else fails, try a different browser. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Yes... it is an inconvenience I just cant deal with anymore. I understand that no solution is forthcoming... so... enjoy what I have posted folks... thanks for your time everyone... I wont be back... I am moving on.... I simply dont have teh patience and time to waste by waiting sometimes two minutes or more... for screens to change.
Goodbye and good luck to you all
