I have been getting the same problem as well... Usually the site loads pretty fast for me.

It was the same way at 4:30 AM this morning. Especially loading after you posted.

It seems to have sped up a bit for me. I don't know about you guys but it was taking about 45 seconds to load a page but now it is down to 25. (note that I have bad internet connection where I am right now)

EDIT: The slowness has stopped for me. Now down to less than 5 seconds with full bars of Wi-Fi.

Three minutes to post. Four or more efforts to get a thread to load.

Argh!

Working fine for me, both now and when this was posted. Firefox and Windows 8.1 here.

No other website is having the same issues.

None.

EDIT: Did some back work, it was a fault on my end. The connection timed out, therefore making the browser stop. I pressed not to remember me, causing it to be technically a new browser status.

All is good with the new phone.

Which, is it just me or is the server randomly playing hard to get again?

^ Not just you. The server's been on and off for me for the better part of the last 48 hours.

I'm not having any problems on my laptop.

I couldn't even get onto the site, on both my computer and my telephone.

(2:57-3:00)

The site was down for the better part of an hour. It took three to four minutes just for it to return a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable response. Seems to be working fine now.

Yeah, up now!

What they all said.

As I told Interpreter, we are gonna make another server change. I'm just waiting till the offseason to do it.

Sometimes, like now, it's blazing fast. Others, making a post can lag it up for anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes.

Terp, If you want to play with the new forums software version you can here: http://zend.ipsdevserver.com/ips4/

Slow as molasses for any other

Lads or lasses?

^ Fully loading http://www.KICentral.com/forums/ after clearing the cache takes ~2.5 seconds here.

Not fast, per se, but not molasses.

Server is randomly laggy and sometimes not responding until third attempt.

Here.

Only here.

Not a problem, but when I use the 'View New Content' button to view a thread, then when I use the back button on Google Chrome, the thread that I just read will go away on its own most times. Thought that was pretty cool.

Balky, slow and inconsistent server for anyone else tonight?

Usually about the time we are playing in the "This or That" topic it is slow for me. So, around 4 or 5 in the morning.

In the past 10 minutes or so, the site has been taking about 30 seconds or so to respond to virtually every click.

Every time I point that out, you claim to have no such problem.

Sooooo.....

Beats me as to what's going on. I'd consider that it could be an internet connection problem, except that as you typically say when reporting that issue, it was only on KIC, not on any other site. We need someone that speaks the language of the server here (a server whisperer?).

Database queries are often the performance bottleneck on forum websites. IPB uses MySQL, so those logs may have insight into the situation. Another possibility is that a reverse proxy server (iirc, this site uses Nginx) is not interacting well with the web front-end(s).

For what it's worth, this site has loaded reasonably well every time I have accessed it recently.

If you send Dane a private message with the date and time of the issue when it happens, he might be able to look into it.

I just noticed that when I posted and tried to quote someone the 'quote button' right under the 'like this' button did not work.... It sent me down to begin typing my message like it worked but did not quote at all... Did I do it wrong? I'm pretty sure I did this before and it worked.

Did you recently "upgrade" to Internet Exploder 11? IE 11 has a known bug that prevents the quote feature from working properly. The workaround is to use a real browser like Firefox or Chrome.
