Under review Slow AF

[KnightTemplar]

Forum pages are irritatingly slow today. It can take several minutes just to post a new message or switch forums. Often, I'll get an Error/Timed Out message. I know it's not just me, because other high-traffic sites like Facebook and YouTube are working fine.

Whatever monkeys you've got running this site need to start earning their peanuts.

I figured one of the rats nests in the server room caught fire again.


Funny how the ads always seem to work properly....

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

Fine on mobile, unusable on PC
Oh well

 

[The Clinch]

So.. what's the problem?

We keep hearing "it's fixed" but it's obviously not and continues to be not.

What's happening to these forums?

It may have been said somewhere but I ain't got time to try to read all that.
Not that I'm lazy.
Just lazy.

Things self-resolved to my understanding on desktop. Not sure how localised or external the issue was. How’s the board loading for you now?

[Natural Order]

Just Kash keeping lists.


Apologies, did not even realize this was posted in the support forum, but I too have been having desktop issues all day. Troubleshooted on my end. Still persists.

 

[Kardashians]

I've been experiencing the same thing all day. I'm on a mobile. I keep getting 502 bad gateway errors. Does Monday's scheduled maintenance expected to fix, or at least HELP fix this.

I haven't posted here in a few years and the first thing I noticed was the additional absolute gluten of advertising. I mean holy shit.

Worst is that little video window that slides in from the right. You press x to get rid of it, then it reappears over and over and over and over again every 15 seconds.

When I'm typing posts, I'm having to push aside ads.

Sometime during my absence, I think it was decided ...OK, let's TRIPLE the amount of advertising on this site...set the controls for the heart of the sun, and let's push this to the max!

It's the worst it's ever been during this whole "bot check" era. Seriously, everything is slow as fuck. It's barely usable on PC. Time outs are routine.

The issues has been going on for months.
Its slow as hell now and I get the cloud flare timed out message regularly.
Keep this up for a few more months and I am sure not only the bots are gone..
The forum is almost unreadable and unusable.

It's been very slow and hard to use for the last day or so.

 

[Rhood]

I noticed some parts of the forum load faster than others.

War Room topics were ultra slow this morning, but seem average now.
Mayberry topics didn't load at all last night, but seem to load slow tonight.
UFC discussion loaded normal this morning, but now impossible.
Reading any topics in UFC Discussion takes a hour to load.

Posting this response in support took a record breaking full 5 minutes.

 

[italiamusica]

Same here, the last two days have been almost unusable

The issue isn't as simple as 'the site' this, that because the board for me, for example, is blazing fast re: loading, performance so I reckon this why the intermittent, unsuccessful fixes for some but not all users. I'm obviously apologetic to you and every dawg ITT for this board slump. I'm suspecting the Monday update we've got locked and loaded has also been a dev dependency for more robust investigation.
