Hi guys,
I'm finding that when I'm opening a thread in a forum it's taking ages to open. That is I can open The OzGem website fine, Tech/Non tech sections just fine, Sub forums fine, but when clicking on an individual thread it slows down to about dialup speed... I have fast internet that opens any other page as fast as I can lift my finger off the mouse.
I figured it was my browser so I did a test this morning and picked a random thread with no attached pictures and timed it:
Firefox (defult): averaged 24 seconds
Google Chrome: averaged 22 seconds
Internet Explorer: averaged 41 seconds
It doesn't load in bits and pieces, it displays the forum banner, subject heading and forum wallpaper immediately, then the body of the thread appears all together later. This part of the message board format is the bit I'm wondering about so I can search for a solution.
For some reason eBay is doing a similar thing. In the search it wont display the thumbnail pictures of any item, but will display the pictures once the item is opened. However the item discription wont appear and I get a "Sorry, the connection has timed out" message window where the discription should be...
This must be a problem in my computer yes? Any help would be appreciated...
Bill

IE Windows 7 came with the computer about 2yrs ago. Firefox was downloaded then also but is regularly updated. Chrome was downloaded 2 days ago because of this problem with little effect.
Lets assume I know SFA about internet settings and tell me and those playing at home how to disable Javascript...

In firefox you go into options and then the content tab and it should be in there.
For IE read the following link

Yeah, you'll pretty much want javascript enabled.
Disabling it wasn't a solution but just to help diagnose the problem.
I'm thinking maybe it's something to do with google analytics.
I will have a look if there's updated code for it and if there is that would fix the problem for you on ozgemini. As for the other websites there's nothing I can do.
