Slow access to forum

[realfood]

Am I the only person who is having a 30 second wait before any forum page downloads? None of the other forums that I visit are having this problem, so it would seem to be something particular to the grow your own forum. Any suggestions to make it faster, like it was 2 weeks ago?

I'm having just the same problem have a look at my thread its got me stumped like you say the problem is only with the vine.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

If it's only taking 30 secs to download then that's fast in comparison to me It's taken me 6 minutes to PM someone this morning. Who's been mucking about with the Vine? Slapped bottom time Norty IT geeks

I've switched computers to a different lappy - all fine now. Maybe it is just some computers?

[Glutton4...]

All fine here, and I'm multi-tasking! (ebay, Vine, and Skype-texting my Sister at the same time!)

This seems to be a problem that some people have periodically, but we've never really got to the bottom of it Poor Piskie had it for ages, mebbe if she sees this she might know something that works to clear it?

Only suggestions I can give are: Log-out fully from the Vine, clear all your cookies from your browser, right click on your network connection (bottom right of your screen usually, in the system tray) and select 'Repair' (I know, it isn't broken, but it clears the cache etc), turn your computer and router off for at least 5 minutes, turn them back on and try again...

...or get a Mac!



*Ducks - sorry Zaz made me say it, honest!

I'm OK with moving about the forum, but for the past few days have had probs bringing up links.
And that's on both my computers!

Glad to hear its not just me, it is stopping me from visiting the vine it can take a good few minutes to load and thats even with the vine as the only application open.

Will ask Admin to look into this tomorrow!

RC- don't give up!!

Edit- OK- message sent!

Both our PC's are networked mine takes just over 2 minutes to open a page on the vine, then its another 2 mins to open after I click reply so its impossible to use. so i'm sharing Mr in Pots PC because that works perfect.
I've messed around with all my settings, cleared cookies, cache and flushed the DNS even tried re- installing stuff. so it looks like I'll be sharing until it gets sorted.

My ISP is talktalk, and I understand that talktalk is now checking all sites that talktalk members are visiting to check that they are safe. May be talktalk has introduced the delay while they check, but it still does not explain why the growyourown forum is the only one that I am having problems with.

It sounds like some sort of conflict then Bren, it makes no sense otherwise But then, I guess you and OH both use the same anti-virus and anti-malware programs? I dunno, lets hope Admin have some clues...

I'm with Talktalk as well, its odd how the delay only affects one PC.

Only difference between the 2 PC's is mines still running on Win 2000 the others Vista, good thing is at least I can get to the vine just not as often.

Just to let you know that IT are looking into it!

hang on there folks!!!!
