For the last couple of days, the WWF has been painfully slow when opening up a thread, sometimes even timing out. Has anyone else noticed this?
This forum is OK, I've had problems with slowness on others though.
Yup! Same as AlexS , as a matter of fact it appears to be this site only, and I'm logging out for the day! :(
yep it sure is.
i keep getting page can't be found then i refresh and it comes up really slowly.
As a matter of interest, which URL is giving you problems.
I'm logged in to www.woodworkforums.com and it is performing OK.
Edit:
Just tried
https://www.woodworkforums.com.au
and it is working OK too
will try the ubeaut URL
http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/
that is working OK too, maybe isolated to a particular ISP????
im on .com
and im with bigpond.
I'm on ubeaut.com.au, and am having no issues.
I've noticed this with quite a few sites lately. And paying attention to the times these slowdowns happen, they don't always match the forums maintenance periods (as I know them) or brekky of those across the big pond or...
I believe that at least a portion of it's due to Minister Conroy. :~

I've noticed that several sites I regularly access are either extremely slow or unavailable if I go through my usual ISP.
Yet tunneling through to those same sites via an overseas proxy - which was previously typically slower - gives me no problems whatsoever. The only practical difference I can see is that currently my local ISP goes through these mandatory government filters.
I'm really beginning to despise politicians. :~ (Well, more than before... in the past I might've pretended ignorance if they were bleeding to death in the gutter out front. Now I'd hire a street-sweeper. :p)
I see all 3 of you are using bigppond, may be a problem there. If you're using explorer try downloading and using Firefox.
I've had no problem either at the factory on slowish adsl, at home on cable, or on the mobile.
I'm on Bigpond using Firefox and no problems here.
Cheers
Michael
im using google crome.
loading otehr sites tat normaly take a wile are ok but this one is slow.
im on adsl.
Interesting post. I use bigpond and have noticed some slowness, its across all sites not just this one. Its also been very minor, no errors or long wait times.Quote:

Do you know how you can test if your going through a filter?
regards
I'm on bigpond too & using firefox & i've noticed the page timeout problem for the last couple of days too
Glad its not only me
I am using our own server but using Windows internet explorer.
Had a winge to neil yesterday and it could be caused by the windows updates not beign compatable with the forum server.
We have had a few updates lately they come in overnight and I go to start up in the morning and get the message that your computor has been updated and restarted.
His suggestion was to change to firefox but as yet have not done that and in saying this it is running ok this morning on windows.
So whats the answer, I DONT KNOW.
2nt try well bugger me I open my mouth and now it does not want to play, may have to get the firefox going
3rd try I have learnt to copy and paste so I do not have to re write my replies
I reckon it is some sort of routing thing, I'm on Westnet & I have no problem at all with WWF, however, for another forum that Alex & I are both members of, it is the other way around, he has no problems there but it is painfully slow for me.
I am using a satellite connection with Firefox using a company called Clearnetworks and apart from the normal satellite latency mine is firing along nicely. I have this program for which I paid for http://www.regcure.com/ and it does a scan and clean every so often which seems to speed things up a bit.
I'm with Optus and I have been getting regular pages cancelled for the past day or so, but only on this site. Everywhere else seems as normal.
I'm having the same problem. Realllllly slow, or page-not-found/timeout error. Only happening on this site. I'm using ubeaut.com.au, and I'm with TPG on ADSL2+
Allan
Yep - giving me the Tom Tits - been like it for the past 48 hrs or so---- Vista Sp1, Optus, Firefox.
Another thing I've noticed, but can't really define is the apparent disappearance of the thread I have just viewed from the "New Posts" and prior posts. As I said, I can't be specific but there's something amiss
Ian
This should hopefully explain the disappearing posts :;Quote:

See my post of yesterday!
This site is still really slow when loading pages after initial login. Frequently receiving Error message "Network Time Out - Server at www.wodworkforums.com is taking too long to respond.":no:
I'm on Bigpond, Windows XP (with all SP's), & Firefox 3.0.4. All other sites appear OK!
yup slow as a wet week here too
Can you please double check that your getting this error when the domain is spelt right?Quote:

soth
ps: Hooray, It worked, and on my 700th post too.
I have been having this problem for a few days now also.
I am logged into woodworkforums.com, using Firefox and my ISP is Westnet (256k ADSL, really need to go faster though). All other sites are loading no worries at all (wife would have told me if there were problems with facebook:;)
Corbs
very wierd. I'm on Optusnet adsl2 and not having a problem at all :dunno:
I have no problems on bigpond ADSL2+ at the office, NextG is also running well. ATM i'm at the inlaws in Ararat with no problems using an ADSL connection through Exetel.Quote:

Your browser really shouldn't make any difference.Quote:

TESTING . TESTING.
NUP STILL NO PROBLEMS HERE.
Sturfed if I know.
BobR - Strangely enough, according to our stats your marked all posts as 'read' and loaded the index page all within the same second and your reply also took less than a second to post.
Go figure. Was it slow loading for you or would the 1 second be about right?
Still no problems here for me, I can open a dozen tabs at once without a problem but I have problems on another board, I can't open more that 2 tabs at once there.
I reckon there is some sort of a split in the intenet somewhere.
I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

Steven and I have both tried unsucessfully to reproduce the problem with different computers, browsers and IP's.
Over the last 6 hrs I've connected and browsed this site by:
- cable - greased lightning
- ADSL - fast
- dial up - typical dial up but no time outs or other problems.
Using Firefox, IE6, IE7, Opera, Google, and Safari. Still unable to duplicate the problem. Reckon as Cliff said it's some sort of routing problem.
Could those with problems try Renovate Forum and let us know if the same problem exists over there. No use us without the problem trying it. Theoretically the problem should be the same there as both are on the same server with the same settings etc.
Cheers - Neil
Sorry Steven my typo:B in re-typing Error Message.Quote:

At first I thought it was ok but then both seem to misbehave similtaneously. so just to make it more difficult, it's intermittent.

Just received an error message "ÏE cannot present this page"when I tried to send this message. Had to type it all over again. So here goes.
On most occasions the Forum home page opens OK. Selecting New Posts can bring up the list of threads in an acceptable time frame most times, though sometimes it can take up to about 10 seconds. The problem shows itself when a thread is selected. More often than not the selected thread (in a new page) will take a good ten seconds to be displayed, or will terminate with a "IE cannot present this page"message. At times this can be rectified by shutting down the offending page and selecting the thread over again. If this does not fix the problem I shut IE down and start from square one again.
With regard to "Mark Forums Read" , I do this to prevent being presented with a list that I have previously seen - both read and not read. I only started doing this a few months back as previously there was no need to take such action. I can only guess that a change to the service occurred at this time.
