Problem: Board has been too fast
All this week, I've gotten on and the board has been way too fast. I mean, normally, I can deal with it, but this is just too much. I start to click on a topic link and it opens the link before I even click on it!? I try clicking the "refresh" button on my browser but that doesn't help any. In fact, it just seems to accentuate the problem--I refresh, and before I can even blink, the index is already loaded! And the other day, everyone's avatar's and siggies loaded before I finished reading their posts.
Could it be a server related issue? Or is it something that the admins can fix? Please say you can fix it, this is getting out of hand.

I think most people would love to have your problem, since the exact opposite has been the case for the most part. The board has been incredibly slow as of late... and just out of curiosity, why would you want your browser to be slow?

Because I like to have plenty of time to compose my posts in my head--with this really fast load speed, I don't have time to even think the first sentence before the Post a Reply page comes up.Trent DeWhite wrote:I think most people would love to have your problem, since the exact opposite has been the case for the most part.

I used to want a fast board, too, but this is really turning me off.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Well see, that's the thing; the speed has been pretty good when I've used my home computer with dial up. But when using other computers, such as at my college's computer lab, that's when the problem occurs most often. I'm not sure if there's a relationship or not.
EDIT: Trent, I guess we cross-posted. Yes, I keep getting a Post a Reply page. It's probably a speed issue, too. I click on the thread, and it goes two pages at once??

I really, truly, honestly wish I had your problem. The exact opposite has been the norm for me.

You've got to be kidding.
I'm about at the point where I might just log off for a week and come back next week to see if its any better. Annoying.
Yep, I'm at that point myself. You're right it is HUGELY annoying and sadly we are stuck with it being like this too.Dr. Watson wrote:Laurie wrote:Dr. Watson wrote:All this week, I've gotten on and the board has been way too fast.

Yes. If I'm too fast, and you're too slow, it seems like the admins could adjust some setting and make everything even out, like average out our speeds or something...Laurie wrote:Yep, I'm at that point myself.

This is really a problem, Dr. Watson...I'm not sure if we can help you at all

I, too, experience such problems. Often, my replies are submitted before I finish writing them, even. In fact, I've already sent off this reply, and I haven't read a word of this thread yet.
Such humorless people you all must be, to have actually believed that Dr. Watson's complaint is that the forum loads too quickly!
