When I come online and there's more than 3 people on the board, this place slows up big time. I check other sites to see if it's my connection, but they all work fine. Any ideas how to fix it?

You might have noticed it says pub67.ezboard.com instead of pub5.ezboard.com, this is the temporary URL while the servers are being upgraded. I'm sure the speed will pick up once its completed.
BTW, don't change your bookmarks to the new URL, keep them the same!

Yes, my Master.

It's happening again Raz. This place is super super slow again. It sometimes takes almost ten minutes to load a page, read it and post a reply. And again, out of all the sites I visit on a regular basis, this is the only one that is sooooo slow at times. In the morning it seems okay, but when others come online, the spice flow stops.

I know I've noticed the problem as well, but it seems to have speeded up, at the time of writing.
EZboard have said that they are having trouble with their ISP and are changing some of the routers to help with the speed.

Yes I read that last night, when it finally and after a lot of waiting came up.
But until last night it was still pretty bad, it seems okay this morning (i.e. March 2).

Unfortunately after a good spell of brilliant speed, it died on me completely yesterday
The speed has picked up today, lets hope is stays that way!

So it seems I'm not the only one. That's comforting.

It never loaded the message from EZboard about the problems, despite several tries, nor could I load this thread to see if it was a general problem.

Is there any chance, in future,that you can put a message on the main site saying if the forums are in trouble? SO I know it's not just me? Because if because of the problems I can't read the message saying there's a problem, it's all a bit silly...

Good idea. It took me two days before I could very slowly get it up myself.

So you both knew there was problme!

Yes, about a few hourse before it was finally solved, thank you.

Well stop complaining then.

I was complaining about the slowness, thank you very much. Pay attention, RC!

I was saying that I didn't know if there was a general problem or if it was just me. Of course I knew there WAS a problem!

Oh, this is just tooooooooooo easy.

And I thought this was a serious forum.

Hey, I'm being serious.

ANyway, looks like ezboard have the problme solved now.

Yeah..for now, everyone keep your fingers crossed.

The problems occured because they were swapping ISP's but all thats over now. It should be a smooth ride from now on

It's happening again, Master Raz. Slownesssssssssssssssssssss....

It's not the computer..it's you

You wish. No. I test it with other sites and they work fine. It's better now, but sometimes it's really bad.

Okay...now the pages aren't showing that they've been updated.

I think that's you. I've had no problems for weeks.

I'm doing pretty okay the last few days as well. But this place is funny sometimes and I don't mean me.

Dim, the problem may be with your cache. If you're using MSIE then do the following to always get a fresh page:

Tools->Internet Options->Settings->
Set "Check for newer versions of stored pages" to "Every visit to the page".

Thank might help

BTW dim, wheres you sig gone?
If you need it hosting send it to me, and I'll put it up for you.

Okay...I'll send it to you when I get back..errr...and I would check my settings...but nnow my monitor's on the fritz...so..I have to get it going after I get back...



I hate computers.

I get a problem with it being slow all the time only it has nothing to do with how many people are online. I think it may be my internet connection.

It happens sometimes. I have the same, but not on any of the other sites I regularly visit.
