Title: Huge time lags
Post by: Cindi on April 14, 2008, 10:28:57 am
Today I have been experiencing huge time lags when opening posts, making posts, going to different parts of the forum, reading new posts, etc. on the forum.  Has anyone been experiencing this today (or yesterday) or whenever?  I am thinking that I have some issues going on with my computer again, oh no!!!  Just curious, it took so long to even make a new post that I have almost given up for today, but I am persistent, hee, hee.  Have the most wonderfully awesome day, Cindi

No problems here and I'm on a satellite connection.

It could be anything between you and the site. If you've done and installs or updates lately I might look in that direction, but if all is the same then it's prolly just traffic.

You could try the classic "reboot and see" method. Magically it works all too often.

Good luck!
Superhoney!

There may also be congestion on the routers your isp uses to connect to the internet.  When internet routers get overloaded they just start dropping packets which makes your internet connection go really slow because you have to try to send the same data many times before it finally gets through the routers on the internet.

Loading just fine for me though.  You can try other sites, see if the problem is related to beemaster or if it's your computer or isp.

You could run an Internet Connection speed test.
I use Dan Elwell's Broadband Speed Test its free and available at broadbandspeedtest.net/

Works fine for me too. Maybe your getting lost in one of these Cyber Black Holes..

Thanks for all the help/advice, I think it must have been a busy time or something because things are rolling along as fast as they ever do tonight.  Great life and all that goes with it.  Cindi
