Portland still isn't loading for me.

Not loading at all for me, using Safari, never had any bother before with this, Cheers Chris

Still not loading for me either.

Definitely slower than anything else, but it does eventually load.

I still find the same using Windows 10 on a PC. The Showerbath Cave thread takes maybe 50 seconds to load, which is much less than other Portland threads were taking a few weeks ago. All other threads are virtually instant apart from ones with lots of photos which take up to ten seconds. It is an oddity rather than a serious inconvenience.

Having said that, I just went to "calendar of events" & that also took a few seconds to open - other forums still almost instantaneous (although I haven't tried then all)

Both Portland and BCA are very slow loading for me. Hangs about at "transferring data from ukcaving.com..." then again at "connecting to vs314rosehosting.com..." Might be other links in the chain that are too quick for me to see.

Sorry about this folks - will ask 'Q' 

 

[Pegasus]

From 'Q' : I couldn't see any issues with the Portland board, but have changed some network configurations and hopefully that will help with any slowness.


Any improvements??

If not, any ideas???

Portland still isn't loading for me and the BCA one is the same.

Still very slow for me.  i go and play a game of Solitaire while I'm waiting.

 

[JohnMCooper]

Each of these steps takes over 20 seconds on my machine:

Hangs about at "transferring data from ukcaving.com..." then again at "connecting to vs314rosehosting.com..."

Almost like a timeout giving up and moving on to the next step?

 

[Q]

I've been trying to replicate this without any luck. Not sure what "vs314rosehosting.com" is as that's nothing to do with our hosting. Could be an embedded image or something

Please could someone put a link in to the actual slow page, or is it the main Portland page at:
https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?board=87.0

Thanks,
Q

I'm not sure what you've done Q but Portland and the BCA pages are now loading perfectly for me.

[JohnMCooper]

This morning they were slow. Now they are fast! You've done something - well done. :bow:

 

[Mr Dinwiddy]

That has sorted it for me- thanks

 

[tim.rose2]

Me too.  Thanks for taking the time to fix it.

Message to me from Q:

I found some old advert code in the website that I have removed. It was calling an external resource that might've been slowing some things down. See if anyone notices any difference.

Looks like Q's fixed the problem, phew.....

....any more issues, esp with Portland/BCA boards, please do let us know, cheers, Pegasus
