BR Topics
« on: September 23, 2004, 03:59:18 AM »
Is anyone having any problem with extreme slowness everytime they click on a Topic? Especially from Miscellaneous and on down? The Topics above Miscellaneous aren't quite as bad. I have been having a problem for over a week now. We have two high speed computers in my house and this happens on both computers. One is on cable and the other on DSL, so the problem can't be our computers.

My guess is the ISP has a T3 down, doubling traffic on the other lines or shadow line.

Brick, this happens to me at times also.  And I'm at work, using the University's huge amount of bandwidth, so I know it ain't on this end.  Also happens with the other bowling site I visit.  It's an intermittent thing and I have no idea what the cause is.  Interestingly I've just noticed that if a new topic is slow to come up I can hit "stop" and get a white page, then hit "reload" and there's the new topic.?????????

Thanks for the information Rags. It makes me now even more confident the problem isn't on my end. I've been going to ask for several days to see if others have this problem, but kept thinking someone else would ask if they were having problems. It appears most all of us are having this problem and I guess we all were waiting on someone else to ask.....

brick and Rags,

Yes, it can still be on your end, especially if you're using Internet Explorer or Netscape. Sometimes the auto process that empties your working buffers is not always succesful. Therefore you have to manually clear them out. It's hard to tell the difference between the actual download and the browser actually drawing the screen.  

I've had no problems downloading from anywhere over the last few days, until my cable modem starts chasing its tail.

charlest,

I did a tracert to ballreview.com.  The times on my counts went up four fold on the att.net addresses, specifically the 12.122.10 addresses.  I think that could be a bottle neck.

Charlest, I don't have Explorer or Netscape. I have aol. I don't have this problem on any other site except this one.

Then the answer us simple, the cause of all PC problems, Microsoft and AOL - a deadly combination.
