FORUM SEEMS SLOW

Is there still some maintenance going on or is it summat else ?

Sunday, March 16, 2008 by mike b1954 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Just wondering guys .. I have just finished doing my weekly cleanup of all things PC , ~ Cache , Registry , Startup Items History and the like ..

I have just logged in using the WC Browser ... ( I subscribed last night , so I am still finding my way around ..)

~ and all Pages from WC are loading in really ,really , REALLY  slow ...

Other sites are loading up as normal ..

XP Pro SP 2 full OD , 8 meg B/band , a fast Quad core PC , so I am stumped ..

Hi mike b1954, you might try selecting Tools, then Settings and then Internet and change the server you are using. I use SDC and the Web Browser, which is the same as the WC Browser and don't have any slow down. I'm using server 1.

The forums always have their moments mike. Usually if I have problems loading a forum page I just click another link on my favorites bar and if it loads right up then I assume that its just that they are working on the forums or the forums are busy and sluggish. Usually doesn't last long though.

Then again I never browse the forums in the Wincustomize browser or SDC.

One of the servers is getting a DOS attack.

Heh, Asty....I think he was hoping that Brad was making a joke.

Forums seem ok for me though...oddly enough.

Considering response times I got Sunday evening, I don't think he was joking.
