Sooo Slow!

[ArcticRose]

For the last couple of weeks the forums have been running really slow for me. And I mean REALLY slow!

Any idea what changed? I didn't have any changes on my end, and the site used to run just fine. I seem to remember the forums being down briefly for "software updates" right before things slowed down, could that be the cause?

Am I the only one having trouble?

I have had that problem just yesterday and today.  Not sure what's up.  Other sites load just fine for me, but the forums here are super slow.

me too!

Same problem here.

[cowboyjunki]

 Me too!!  Especially when trying to respond to a thread!

[lolar2]

Same here. I'm on Firefox on a PC if that makes a difference.

I'm on Firefox too.. could it be a conflict with Firefox?

[sunnygir1]

Yep.  Firefox.  I'm going to try IE.

Did anyone figure out it its the browser?

[sunnygir1]

Nope.  Internet Explorer was just as slow for me.

Hi, I'm really sorry you're experiencing slow speeds. I know how frustrating that is! Here's a recent post from our Web Director that may help better explain speed issues and how variable they are: http://www.mothering.com/community/forum/thread/1285072/speed#post_16138835
