Lotus Flower Posted August 30, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Today, everything is taking an age to load, whether it be topics, replying to posts, going into profiles etc etc, is anyone else having the same problem? I have loaded up other websites today and they are loading very quickly, so it isn't my computer. Usually UM is speedy to load up as well as navigating around the site. Any tips?

Daughter of the Nine Moons Posted August 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am not having any issues loading UM, have you tried clearing your temp files, cache, cookies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Flower Posted August 30, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am not having any issues loading UM, have you tried clearing your temp files, cache, cookies? Yes, but I will do it again and maybe a defrag, hopefully that will sort it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted August 30, 2007 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Could be a routing issue, it'll probably sort itself out without you needing to do anything. Out of curiosity, try browsing a few pages on this site and see if you have the same problem: Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesque Orion Posted August 30, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'm still having this problem, stated it here before too, tried to fix it but did not suceed......

Lotus Flower Posted August 30, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) I'm still having this problem, stated it here before too, tried to fix it but did not suceed...... The pages are running slow, actually even slower now, it's weird... and anoying.. I've cleared everything out, defragged and virusscanned, but it's still slow. I will do as Saruman says and see if it sorts itself out. *fingers crossed* Edited August 30, 2007 by Lotus Flower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kratos__ Posted August 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2007 My pages have been coming up near instantly for the last hour or so as I browse around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted August 31, 2007 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) I've noticed when I use a certain browser I have the same problem here, so I changed browser depending on if im on this site or not.. when I changed to a different browser my pages seemed to load much much quicker.. I am NOT very puter savy.. but just something I had an issue with and changing browsers helped... just a thought.. :} Edited August 31, 2007 by Sunni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Flower Posted August 31, 2007 Author #10 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Weirdly, I am fine today, pages loading very quickly. However, as a safeguard lol, Sunni and Alex, what browsers did you or do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesque Orion Posted August 31, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2007 However, as a safeguard lol, Sunni and Alex, what browsers did you or do you use? I used IE before, and UM pages were very slow, but I followed Sunni's advice and tried a diferent browser ( Firefox). Now everything is fast again, I don't understand why though.

Saru Posted August 31, 2007 #12 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I use Internet Explorer as my default browser and don't have any problems, I also use Firefox at times and don't notice any difference in speed when accessing the site. Is it possible you have an add-on or some kind on IE that could be causing the slowdown ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesque Orion Posted August 31, 2007 #13 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I don't think I downloaded any addons, could be the version of IE. I remember downloading a new version of IE like a month ago or so. What version of IE do you have Saru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted August 31, 2007 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm using IE 7, I also have two other computers in the house using IE 6 which work fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picturesque Orion Posted August 31, 2007 #16 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm using IE 7, I also have two other computers in the house using IE 6 which work fine as well. There goes my theory, I'm using the same version. Could be firewall, but I'm not so sure about that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted August 31, 2007 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) I used IE before, and UM pages were very slow, but I followed Sunni's advice and tried a diferent browser ( Firefox). Now everything is fast again, I don't understand why though. YEP! I've tried IE 6 and 7, and was so darn frustrated, kept thinking i had a virus...or bunch of spyware or something... Went to firefox, and it started acting perfectly immediately.. loaded much more smoothly, much more quickly.. :} I've also tried Opera before too, but firefox proved to be faster here (with this site) than it also.. so! I at first thought it was firewall, so I disconnected it entirely.. didn't change anything... I'm not sure what kind of add ons I have, if any that I know of that could be causing that problem on IE.. I'd like to know though..

Lotus Flower Posted September 11, 2007 Author #18 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I wish it worked faster here, Firefox isn't making any difference. Maybe it is some sort of setting on IE, however, other sites are loading very quickly. I will have a mooch around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle Posted September 15, 2007 #19 Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) I like the new toned down on 'post edited by...' at the bottom. I think i hold the record on UM for the most edited posts, so i'm glad to see it. lol! Edit: I think spoke too soon, must have been seeing things...
