Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Forum slow?

No it is NOT slow for me. It is a tiny bit slower than it was a few weeks ago, but it is much faster, for me, than it was before some change was made on, or around, November 11th last year. Before then, it would take 3 minutes or more to load the site. Now it takes only a second or so.

Hoooweeee, baby. It be slow dis morning.

I can't say for certain if it started in September, but if I was a guesser, I'd guess that be bout right.

Amie, I only noticed the REAL slowness within the last couple of weeks. Before then, it was zippy!

Weird Brian, it's slow for you but back to really fast for me.

I can't say if the slowness has been since September or not. Time is kind of a blur. Sorry that does not really help you Amie.

I've stayed out of the topic because I have had no problems that I noticed but since you asked, No. It might vary a bit from day to day but nothing to complain about here and small changes are just part of life on the Internet.

Good point Murph. So to clarify for Axiom, I am not referring to small changes - that I expect. For me 'normal speed' is anything from instantaneous to 5 seconds or so to load a thread, product page whatever. When I report 'slow' I am talking load times of 45 seconds to over a minute (and sometimes failure to load), not subtle differences.

Cheers,

This just started a couple of weeks ago. The upgrade happened, and if I recall correctly, the pages loaded just fine for at least a few days, but I too get (more specifically) completely white screens, or pages with just the Axiom logo on the top. And then I click on some other part of the forums and it is just fine. Not 100% of the times is it slow, but at least 50% of the topics or sub-forums have this issue randomly. Also, by slow, I mean that I am not even waiting for the page to finish loading before I try to stop it and try reloading again because it has been so long. Easily was 30 seconds or longer when I first experienced it. Now I just don't wait. It is obvious right away if the page is or isn't going to load. Sometimes it takes multiple "stops" and "reloads" to get it to work though.

My pages are universally taking about 10 seconds to load. Not as bad as what others are experiencing, but not the "almost instantaneous" it was for awhile.

Now that I am paying attention, my exerience is similar to Mark's.

Been long waits between clicks for me this afternoon.
