OWF Slow to Load?

***Nate*** · #1 01-23-2007, 02:27 AM

Hey all.

I'm finding that when I visit OWF after about 10pm Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time (11am UTC/British, 6am US Eastern time) that pages load reaaaally slowly or not at all. Sometimes they will start loading and then churn for a while until I hit reload.

Is anyone else getting this?

It happens to me as well, but only in a specific time frame. It gets annoying because I can't visit the site for some time. Yet it always work fine whenever it isn't in this time frame. Yer not the only one. Maybe Searex or Alcar knows?

I've been experiencing very slow loading lately too, It's been getting a pain, and there are a number of occasions where I very nearly double post!

No problems here.

Please ignore this post, the long loading made me double post.

I’ve just encountered this slowness for the first time. ’Tis quarter past eight UTC.

I live in Brisbane Australia [Australian Eastern non Daylight Savings Time, yes Queensland doesn't have DST] and after 9pm and before 7am it takes ages to load.

I just notice that the OWF won't load at all sometimes, but it comes back up in a few minutes. Weird.

I noticed it last night. Only managed to get to my CP before giving up. Can't be heavy traffic, I mean this is OWF.

I haven't experienced it here, but it does that att he serebii forums well every other time I try to go on the b*oody site.

Jordan · #11 01-24-2007, 12:19 PM

Serebii? That's the pokemon fansite right? It must happen to lots of forums then, is it vBulletin being a d**k?

***Nate*** · #12 01-24-2007, 04:06 PM

I doubt it. It's most likely a server-side issue, which would make any similarity to another vBulletin forum a coincidence.

Yeah it's happening for me right now...

moxco · #14 01-24-2007, 05:14 PM

Now it happens to me any random time of the day.

snuzi · #15 01-24-2007, 08:04 PM

It's never slowed down for me before. Perhaps it just depends on the internet connection?

E'l Scrabino · #16 01-24-2007, 08:12 PM

Perhaps... I'm not entirely sure...

moxco · #17 01-24-2007, 08:15 PM

I dont think so, because I got realy good internet conection and unlimeted downloads. I think it's the website.

In any case, now that we've established that it's not just me having this issue, there's no point speculating until El Presidente returns from his mystery holiday.

E'l Scrabino · #19 01-24-2007, 10:33 PM

Or E'l Scrabino finds out how to fix it

Lol jks. When's 'El Presidente' getting back?

***Alcar*** · #20 01-26-2007, 07:38 PM

No idea why that's happening, our host hasn't placed a notice about it, so if it continues any further, I'll get them to look into it.

Alcar...
