Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing very slow response from this site tonight 8July 2008 @ 9:35PM. News section doesn't even want to open properly?
 
i think it was last night that i found it to be very slow. there is another south african forum i have been trying to get on for a week or so and i cannot get on there for some reason. its annoying.
 
ping times seem normal to me to hetzner, myadsl.co.za and google.co.za yet it's slow as schitte. improved a wee bit when I turned on ad block and added google-analytics. Will turn it off again when things improve

Yeah I'm battling to browse this site too, using DSL or 3G makes no difference, slow, very slow....
 
I am on Virgin GPRS posting this because my ADSL is slow I can't open the forum. International is effected as well :mad:

Those China Telscum evil mongers and their loops :mad:
 
Seems to be slightly better, back on ADSL.

I noticed something, I'll report this post to tell uncle rpm. I thought that after uninstalling noscript tonight that it left over files which "blocked" the ads on the site, so I reinstalled Firefox and gave it a complete new installation.

Even after the reinstallation the ads were gone, when I switched to Virgin just now, all of the sudden the ads were back. This could either be that SAIX was blocking the ads, or I don't have a clue :confused:

Weird stuff going on lately :p
 
Seems to have become normal now. Notice before something about serv.mybroadband.co.za << maybe ads server? Maybe that is why I had so many page cannot be displayed errors on news section.
 
I think RPM mentioned earlier today somewhere something about network whatever ..... back to normal now though :D
 
This was definitely an SAIX issue, since both the Telscum and Webafrica account did it :(
 
Sorry to dredge up a moderately old thread :D

Site is horrendously slow almost all the time - confirmed with 3 others from different cities. Anyone else having this issue? I'm determined to figure out why. Perhaps it's just vBulletin being bloated :D
