is this just me...or is the site taking much longer to load??

i haven't noticed any problems more recently...

i've had some non full page loads but that happens everywhere and i just refresh usually...

what kind of connection are you on?

 

I've had some issues, but I think its with IE in general. It all started with I downloaded that security upgrade a while back. I'm thinking of reinstalling.

 

i've had the slight problem since before the update. i do think it's an IE thing rather than the server though as it happens on any given page.

 

Re: is this just me...or is the site taking much longer to load??

Indeed, experienced simular problems.
Do you have it on other sites as well?
I found that speed decreased after I updated IE. And indeed sometimes images, avatars etc are not loaded. I log out then and problems gone.
I wanted to throw away the IE prefs, but ended up throwing all my favorites and quicklinks out.
Anybody got a clue where they are located? I checked both prefs from user and volumes/prefs, but did not run across IE prefs.

 

Perhaps all those lurkers we called for started posting like hell

I'm on X
g3 450 iMac
cable
updated to IE .1.4 and after that started to experience problems
But as you say, I noticed Dukestreet posting around 52 posts on one day, I'dd say he takes up a lot of bandwith

could be that servers are running low on space or so...?

 

I haven't really noticed but now that I think about it it is slightly slower (G4800 on ADSL500 & PBG4500 on 56k)

I don't really mind I normally have multiple windows open at once and leave ones that are opening in the background.

Just out of interest what kind of connection is macrumors.com on? I guess its somesort of leased line, they cost a bomb in england!

Re: sorry...let me be more specific

I think you're right about the traffic. I've noticed a lot more names at the bottom of the forums in the "Currently Active Users" area...

and Duke's clogging it up, too...

 

Re: Re: sorry...let me be more specific

He certainly is on a post charge but I haven't noticed him posting any dumb or crap posts (like this ) I don't think we can blame this on him!

I know, hence the ...

Can I get away with my moment of stupidity there by saying I thought it was a guy with red teeth who was angry? Suppose not -

You can get away with just about anything around here...just not swearing.

I think this guy looks more like a blind dude than a cool dude...whatever

And just because I haven't used the rest yet in this post...

 

Me swearing? No ******* chance, I think people who swear and totally ***.

Anyone who can guess both the words will not win a prize.

Just you

Just You...
