Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Axiom website often hangs on loading

Both to some degree but it all seems to relate to the message boards. I can always enter both the message boards and the main site from outside links. Once in the main site I can access anything without a problem. Once I enter the message boards from any link either outside or the main website the problems start. I can usually browse the message boards freely for a while and move back to the main site once. However, if I go back to the message boards and then try to get back to the main site I get the following message in the status bar:

“Waiting for http://www.axiomaudio.com/index.html…”

This persists for several minutes until the site pops up. Once this happens, any time I try to follow a link on the main page other than “Forums” or “Affiliates” I get the status message:

“Waiting for blah blah blah…”

Again this persists for several minutes until the page suddenly loads. I can always reload the forums page by refreshing or clicking on a link to it.

When a pages hangs or is slow to open this problem persists for that browser window. While one browser window is hanging I can open a new instance of IE and the page loads normally. Also I have set Ping to continuously ping http://www.axiomaudio.com while I cause a page to hang and there are never any dropped packets.

When I enter the forums for the first time everything always loads quickly. After the initial load whenever I follow a link in the forums the page will load quickly however one of two messages appears in the status:

“(1 item remaining) Waiting for http://www.axiomaudio.com/boards/ubbthreads.php?ubb=<insert info for page that’s trying to load”

Or

(1 item remaining) Downloading picture http://www.aximaudio.com/boards/global/images/interface/footer_bar.gif

Note that the page usually loads quickly when the above happens, however the message never disappears and the status bar never shows the page fully loaded.

Affiliates page always loads quickly and completely from any link on the site or forums. However on the “Affiliates” page it always throws the following error message when clicking on the “View your order” link:

“An error occured. Please contact us and let us know about it; please, mention the following message:"Fri Jun 06 22:59:45 2008->Inappropriate ioctl for device"“

I can’t say exactly when this started. I first noticed something a couple months ago when I would leave the “Who’s Online” page open and find that when I came back to it many minutes later there would be an error page displayed saying something like “Sever unavailable try back later”

I have full and easy access to the Axiom site/forums with Firefox right now so it’s not a real big deal to me but not being able to figure it out is getting irritating. I’m happy to answer any more questions or try any suggestions but it doesn’t seem like to big a deal as it doesn’t seem to effect that many people.

Cheers,
Dean
