Just wondering if the HWF server is overloading?! Due to the popularity of this place? :P

I've noticed that in the last few days, traveling around the forums is slow. Today at work, it took about a minute to load every page! And now at home, I am experiencing very slow access to these forums!

Anyone else experienced this, or am I getting too impatient? :D
 
Seems fine to me, if you think this is laggy try using an online RPG game like Torn city. Sometimes lag gets so bad the browser gives a timed out error.

Sometimes gives a timed out error its Alwas doing it for me !!!
 
Fast surfin' for me, but when i click a forum link (any link, doesn't matter where in the forums it is), my browser will freeze for 5-10 seconds and then load the page. This still happens after a re-install of windows and changing from dialup to broadband.
 
That's very odd as I've had that 10+ second delay thing too. I figured it was because of the whole viral hdd thing in combination with dial up but if you guys are having similar troubles I don't feel as bad. I doesn't happen with all sites but definately gamespot and HWF's.
 
I get it too, it's not annoying but when you're trying to find/do something quickly it can be a bit of a pain in the a$$.
 
it loads almost instantly on my 8mb connection, does it seem slow at all times or at certain times?
 
I can browse this site pretty fast at home now :confused: But it's been dreadfully slow at work over the last few days. My work uses a proxy server - Micro$oft Proxy Server 2.0 to be exact. I'll bet it's that damn Micro$oft product thats causing the problems. :x:

It's always slow. I've browsed the forums on three computers and they all do the same 10 second delay.
 
Right now the lag for me to load the home page: 3-3.5 seconds. It is a lot slower at school, but all websites are school are slow.
 
I get lag, but i only have to wait about 2's extra :P

*looks at sniper with envy* i can only get 2MBit :crying:

Can i view the "Subscribed Threads" + "Unanswered Threads" pages as plain html? Ie A list of links that are bolded/not bolded!
 
I don't notice much lag on this server at all...However I have noticed in FireFox(1.5, haven't noticed this with other versions) if you're doing a lot of tabbed browsing, the app seems to freeze for a good 5-10 seconds. Maybe that's the problem some of you are having?

It happens on single tabbed browsing in FF and the same happens in IE and Opera.
