Just a question about this form. Lately I it seems that this form takes a longer time to load up to the point it is frustrating then other forms I am on. It seems when I open a post the rotating wheel waits as it looks for various parts to respond. Is anyone else having this issue or maybe it's just me and my old PC or ISP. Just wondering.

 

go to ookla and check your internet speed. I find this forum to be generally as fast or as slow as anything else. sometimes a lot of people might be on the forum posting or downloading which could tend to clog up the arteries.

 

I have no problems except when posting from my old Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. The text I'm typing randomly jumps around and winds up in another place. My old HP home PC and U-verse ISP work fine, but I keep it "tuned up" and delete junk files on a regular basis.

Seems to me that your issues are probably caused by your PC, ISP or both, and not the website.

 

As I just clicked on this note down in the lower left side of my screen it kept doing , waiting for xxxx and waiting for xxx and loading xxx and link to xxx and load advertise xxx. There was at least 15-20 of these notes rolling through until the rotating load symbol stopped. Also while all of this is going on I can't scroll through the notes. It does not happen on my other forms where I only see a few "wait for xxx" scroll buy. I don't have the fastest ISP but this seems to be the only site I have this slow activity. It took me about 15-20 seconds from when I clicked on this note until it stopped scrolling where I could read the last post.

 

No loading issues here, Jagtoes…

From my iMac running 10.8.5

 

If running a MAC, try:
1. Open Disk Utilities choose your drive (upper left), then, select "Repair Disk Permissions". Let this complete.
2. Re-start computer
3. There is a product called "CleanMyMac" which is very good at cleaning up our Mac's junk, system junk, cache etc.
4. There is another useful product called "Memory Clean", this will scrub RAM memory and free up additional useful memory.
5. Shutting down your router once a week, is beneficial too.

Doing a little maintenance weekly can keep your Macs running like new.
Hope this helps.............

 

Nope got windows . I did run disk clean and cleared up any junk but as I mentioned it only seems to be this site. I'll just have to live with it until I find something causing the problem.

 

I keep the XK forum listing tab permanently open so when I want to see what is new I just hit F5 to get the index then hold down the CTRL key and click on the little down arrow next to each of the new entries. That opens each one in a new tab so by the time I have finished reading the first one the others have all finished loading.

 

How old? What OS are you running? How much RAM? Your hard drive mechanical or SSD? (solid state).
There are memory cleaners for PCs, as well. Shutting it down (not re-start) will help to some degree, as well as, shutting down the WiFi router every couple of weeks.

 

The forum loads a lot of 'web furniture'.

Running with javascript disabled will avoid a lot
of it.

If you don't know how to do this, ad blockers will
take care of the problem.
