Damned if I can work it out!
This site was always fast to open, click on a
forum thread and I could almost hear the "snap" as it instantly opened.
Some six weeks or so ago it got that damned slow that I would open up solitaire and play whilst waiting for things to happen.
Come to the site just now and everything is instantaneous again.
Don't have the vaguest idea how it came about but would appreciate all other members keeping their fingers crossed for me.
Ian

Ian,
David has done some server adjustments that have hopefully removed an unidentified bug from the system that was causing the system to go slow at times.
Cheers Kev

I tried solitaire, took me 3 hours to finish a game, but could never win.
What's your secret?
Gary (fingers crossed)

Secret!
I said I play, didn't say anything about winning.
I spoke too soon, I'm back to playing Solitaire whilst waiting for threads to open and close.
Maybe I'm not holding my mouth the right way.
Ian.

Hi Ian
There was a similar post the other week. David puts it down to using Norton's. If this was the case, why have I had not problems until recently and things have not changed in my computers????? I am running 1500/256 speed ADSL and it now takes about 18 seconds to open a post, or anything else on this site. Another site that I go to very often is degree confluence site and that has not changed, about 1 second to open a page, so this proves that it comes down to certain sites and not my computers.
Cheers
Stephen

Hey Guys,
Just a thought, do you run a temp file cleaner of some type that clears cookies?
The reason I ask is that Windows stores these cookies for quick reference to open pages up quickly.
And if you do, you should exclude these from deletion in the scan.
I use a program called CCleaner, you can download it
Here
In options you can excluded ExploreOz's cookies from being deleted.
This may be a solution to the slow loading.
It's just a thought. Then again I could be completely wrong.

Another thing is, I changed to Fire Fox 18 months ago and I haven't had as many problems and I've had faster loading pages.
I don't know what Browser your using, I know IE is pretty blotted these days and has some holes in it.
Read hear.

There was also some patches applied to the server that may have helped.

The biggest bug at the moment that effects all browsers and sites is a seemly large hole in Flash Player 10. It consumes all your systems memory resources and makes the system get slower and slower the longer the browser is open. I have been waiting for a new release of Flash Player to come out as it is a
well discussed problem however still to date there is no fix.
When I see a fix I will let you know. You can check this using Task Manager and sorting the columns on memory usage - I have found my browser can be using 1.5GB of ram - if I close it and open it again it goes back to less than 100MB, leave it running for a few hours and it goes back up to 800MB or more. It is a pain but fully outside of my control. This may not be the only problem however it is currently one of the major issues for all site operators at the moment.
