Slow site

[BC_MoM]

I'm not sure why, but PT has been going so slow for me for about the past week. It isn't my connection, as every other site I frequent is fine. But I often find myself getting up and walking away and doing something else while a page loads.

Is this happening to anyone else?

[Karen]

I will talk with Paul about it.

I had to bring this back up again to see if it is only Robin and I that are having trouble.
It's taking forever to load.

[Karen]

Every once it a while that happens for me, and at other times it is fine ... We will be moving to a different server at some point.

It is better this morning. Last night was the worst I have ever experienced for loading times. I was on for fifteen minutes was only able to open one thread in that time.

Karen,

Yeah, me too.

[RedHedd]

Me three. I had to give up entirely last night. I'm trying again this morning. For some reason I was logged out, even though I have the box checked to remember me, I haven't cleared cookies or anything - maybe I ate some , but it's slow again this morning

It's been going slow for me for the past few months when other sites would load very quickly, but moreso the last few days. Sometimes it takes so long the connection times out. I guess PT is just getting too big the server can't handle us

Karen I'd offer to host on my reseller, but I have a feeling PT may be bigger than I can give, maybe not necessarily space-wise but definitely bandwidth.

Thanks for the offer, but Pet Talk needs its own server because of the bandwidth,. We have one lined up, but it is a lot of time and work to move it over. When we do so, you'll see a notice from Paul, because he will have to take Pet Talk offline for a period of time.

I'm glad to hear that it's not just me. I really noticed it this past Tues. morning. I just had to give up. I have comcast HSI and I just switched to blast which is their fastest speed. Even this hasn't seemed to help. I hope that the transition over to the new server will go smoothly.

I've had the same problem, it often freezes up for quite a long time and won't load. Other websites work fine.

Friday it was loading glacially for me, too. I just thought it was the work (shh! ) server being poopy.

I haven't been around much lately, and some of that is because the site is sooo slow for me. I don't sit at the computer much, I'm very ADD and have to get up and do stuff and then check back after a while, so it's hard for me to have the patience to view through the threads I want to see. I thought my computer just didn't want me visiting this website It's been going slow for me for a long time though - probably 1.5-2 months at least.

[Medusa]

Yes, I often experience this. Sometimes I have to give up completely.
