Menu links are spotty at best today.

As is posting. Lol! Patience everyone.

Yes I agree, even as much as clicking the "like" button can be a test of patience.

Just locked up again from 8:37 to 8:39 PST.

I just liked your post and it took over 30 seconds to respond. I feel like I'm on a 300 baud dial-up through AOL. This is unteneable.

I tried that webpage tester on @SweetSue page 124 and the results weren’t as nice.

Rob must be aging ten years to the day having to work this out. Wish there was some way I could help.

There's tons of information in those results reports. I wish I understood it. It just tells me things could be better. It's a lot like my grows. They've gotten better over time. Plants still have blemishes.

I hope they find the bottleneck soon. I know they are working on it.....

I wonder if browsers having to load everything on every page, every time is part of the problem. Secure sites typically are not cached by browsers.

I'm just talking. I haven't touched web design for 7 years and would hate to even think about working on this site (too much).

I think the important part is on all three tests “Error: Timed Out”.

I'm leaving the site for a while. Maybe the best way to help is to not be a drain on resources. Even without posting, just the act of lurking adds to the system workload.

Personally I don't mind it, what I did dislike in the old software was when someone replied to that post of 8 or 10 pics and I would have to scroll through them all again.

I have already seen them, why do I want to scroll through them 20 times?

The new software addresses this with the condensed drop down, extend feature.

Took me minutes to get here. Just a quick loading report....

Thanks!

Ok, did some research, and I think I've found a possible problem.

If the headers allow for storing page information, the browser will cache images. If however, the headers on the page prevent cache, nothing on an https page will be cached.

I know this is a simple thing, but I wonder if the headers are preventing our browsers from storing the images. Just that alone would create a huge bandwidth issue.

I'm not an expert, and I'm just trying to help.....

Its unpredictable. I just like the same post and it was bam under half second.

Hi Gazoo are there a couple pages in particular causing you problems? These can be sooo frustrating because when the site gets constipated, any thing can appear slow and 2 minutes later its not..

Hi @420 and others. (Not sure who to send this to)

I'm back from the bush and in the land of wifi and cell towers on every corner.

I have a quiet weekend so I'm available if needed to test out anything from an end user perspective.

Lemme know please email, pm or right here.

Site is being uber fast for me right now....been 1200 baud slow all morning since 9:00 am central. Can't say what happened....just screaming fast for now.

 

[GreenThunder]

I formerly used the app on my phone because the site was way too small to navigate or read. I've now been using the mobile version a few days now and it's getting easier the more I use it.
I do have one observation/request.... when I select one of "your threads" it takes me to the first post. I would prefer to go to the last post..... is there currently a way to do that (without scrolling to the bottom and clicking the double arrow, every time)?

I’m cutting back on the number, and I’ll be more aware of reposting pics in a quote. You guys are making me more aware of efficiency and respect for others.

I’m not sure how I feel about being the test case for loading problems. Lol!
