How come this place is so slow?

[capncnut]

I know frustrating innit?

[Yorkie]

Yep it is for some reason it doesn't happen all the time though just for a few mins then its okay for a while then bam there it goes again

For some reason, the f**k up's here seem totally sporadic. It can be working absolutely a-ok then the next minute it's like trying to do The Krypton Factor with a pair of lead boots on. The two things that bug me the most are the 'Cannot See Page' messages (although they don't really do any harm) and when it gets so slow, you have turn to log out because it's pointless to even browse. That happened to me yesterday (and Deej by the sound of it) and it's an absolute nightmare. Took me over 15 minutes to get in! At the end of the day, HPotD is a decent site so you forgive these slowdowns and f**k up's. It's just a pain in the ass to keep on experiencing them, that's all. Seems fine today btw.

When I logged on a few minutes ago it was slow loading initially, but after about 1 minute it was loading properly and now is running as normal. This is the most common problem I experience ... very odd.

It's really bad today. Users keep getting booted from chat. Site freezes up repeatedly. Time to reboot the server?

[capncnut]

I witnessed that happening a few times last night in chat.

Hmmm ... all running completely tickity-boo for me right now...

Okay folks I got a new pair of f**k up's to add to the list. Firstly, sometimes the posts don't show dollar signs, If you go into this post then you will see that the signs don;t show on the words P$3 or $ony. Also, I'm getting the 'forum requires 30 seconds between posts' message even though it has been whole minutes between my posts. Happens 80% of the time and works on the third attempt every time regardless of the half minute rule.

Posts sometimes don't show $$$$$$$ signs/symbols? Never heard that before! Aye, that one's got my scratching my noggin... $$$ Sony Ps3 Micro$oft ... I just did a dollar sign in "Sony" and "PS3" and neither came up - but the dollar sign in Micro$oft came up.

That one was me i changed the filter to annoy the anti-sony group on here Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

[capncnut]

Firstly how lame and childish is that? Secondly No P(dollar sign)3 but Micro$oft is allowed, that's console racism. You are likely to attract more (dollar sign)ony haters with this, remove it immediately. Looks like were gonna have to be more creative with P(dollar sign)3 cusses. I think we should step it up until the dollar signs are re-instated. What has this forum descended into?

[MinionZombie]

P$3 ... P££3 (double coinage there cos it's so much more expensive in the UK cos we get screwed over all the time with that shiite - and yes I know it's cos of Tax or whatever, GEEEEEZ!) Suck your money Out your Numb butt, Yo! Laaaaaame.
