Is anyone else having forum site problems?
Day after day, I continue to have issues with this forum. I can read a thread, then when finished, hit the back button to return where I was and the site locks-up to a blank screen with only the forum header. No matter how long I wait, it never returns. I can only exit without logging off, then logging on again. Anyone else? Advise?

In the last few weeks, and especially today, CF seems a lot slower than other sites I visit.
The other sites will load up a full page with graphics, similar to a CF page, in a second or two. CF takes 5-10 seconds. That doesn't sound like a lot, but if I go to look at 50 short threads then I end up spending more time waiting for the threads to load, than I do reading them.

If you are using windows are you up to date with recommended changes? I had the same problem a while back and it went away once I applied the latest changes to windows and Internet Explorer.

I posted this a couple of years ago, no one takes it seriously.

I use 3 different browsers on my iMac, Safari, Google Chrome, and Firefox. In a very unofficial test of download times of full page Cf threads, even graphic intensive ones the refresh time is around 1 to 2 seconds with all 3 browsers. Try going to a page, then another, then go back to the original page again. That would put the page in your cache and it would normally load faster. Anyone else having a problem using a Mac computer?

Is the attachment below what you're describing?

I get this same screen frequently and at times that there may be more activity. Often, if I press CTRL-F5 to force refresh, the screen finishes and other times, nothing happens. It's like the port was lost in the sequence of acknowledgements.

the site seems to be running better today...been logged-in for a couple of hours (watching football & doing CF !)
A little slowness, but it is intermittent...
perhaps the site is also affected by the number of users at any one time (if so, not good IMO)...
EDIT: looks like I spoke too soon...25 mins. later now...the site is acting-up/slowing down again.
user overload ?

Yup, that's the screenshot that's so frustratingly familiar!
