Hello.
Since the change of forum software I seem to be experiencing major slowdowns with MR Forums.
Forum Spy loads a bit slower in Safari 5.0.1 (Mac OS X 10.6.4) than usual, but it loads in less than a minute.
Opening a thread via Forum Spy does take at least two minutes, hitting the Post Reply button takes another two or more minutes, and until the Reply is posted it takes another two or more minutes.
The same goes for visiting the different sub-fora, opening the Site and Forum Feedback sub-forum took a minute or two.
And as someone used the "new" Friends/Buddy list to ask for my friendship, I clicked on the Notifications item on the top right (under my user name) to see, what it wants me to notice.
Clicking on the "Incoming Friends Request" option was fast, but the loading of the associated page took another two or more minutes.
Confirming the friend request took another two minutes.
Anyway, I haven't had such a slowdown since I have been here yet, thus I did the usual.
Reset Safari, emptied cache, restarted Safari several times, reconnected to my ISP (new IP), tried Chrome, which had the same problems, I couldn't even load Forum Spy.
Other websites (BBC, AI, MR news page) load just fine. I don't have an excessive upload going on, thus the bandwidth (100KB/s upload) is not hampered with, the same is for my download bandwidth (1.9MB/s).
Am I the only one experiencing this, thus the problem might be on my end, or are others having the same issue?
Addendum
This thread appeared normally on Forum Spy, while it was still looking like it would have to properly post it on the forums, it took more than three minutes to actually see the thread in the tab I used to create it in.
Clicking the EDIT button resulted in taking two or more minutes to load the edit page (like if one would click the "Go Advanced" button) and it didn't work like before, when one could edit one's post without loading the edit page, but while still in the thread.
Is that the new procedure when it comes to editing?
