Re: Forums slowing down?
That's due to the different ways Firefox and IE load tables (which is what several aspects of the forum layout rely on). The Firefox engine (Gecko) draws tables progressively as it receives the data. Internet Explorer's engine (Trident), on the other hand, loads the table only after it has every last detail. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods.

Re: Forums slowing down?
Been having problems off and on for the past month seeing threads. I have a good connection at home, work, and school so I don't think it is on my end.
Right now, I am having a hard time getting into threads. Some take minutes to load.
Ironically, this thread was the quickest one to get into today.

Re: Forums slowing down?
Yes, the slowdown is back as of today.
Re: Forums slowing down?
It was slightly slow yesterday evening at around about 8:30 PM (GMT+1/BST), but everything seems quite a bit better this morning.

Re: Forums slowing down?
Yea right now it's flying but around 1600 EDT I couldn't get certain threads to open at all. Others took a while to load. The .org must have a huge spike in traffic around then.
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

My goodness Omanes, you are very well informed. I cannot help but wonder what your occupation is.That's due to the different ways Firefox and IE load tables (which is what several aspects of the forum layout rely on).
