Forum Down

[thescruff]

that would tell me it's a firefox issue

[thescruff]

Firefox is taking forever to refresh whereas IE is instant.

[thescruff]

Looks like Firefox is back with us.

Yep that was quick.

[thescruff]

Firefox is noticeably taking much longer to refresh than IE

[thescruff]

Going again.

Slowed right down, seems to be ok again.

I have firefox on my desktop pc and chrome on my laptop. I find both of them slower than IE, that is why I always use IE.

Perhaps it has been a browser issue that is causing problems for some people, some of the time

Don't know, IE played up once this morning, other than that it was fast, whereas Firefox was virtually stopped.

I had them both open at the same time and was comparing them.

Have to say other forum were normal with both browsers.

Just taken 3 mins to open this thread at 2127.
Using Win7 HP with both Palemoon5 and Firefox5 browsers on laptop. Other sites are opening normally

[thescruff]

IE and Firefox were both down

[ultimatehandyman]

Just re-booted the server.

Not sure why it was going so slow as there was no clues in the servers admin panel

[thescruff]

Still slow at the moment, although intermittent

[thescruff]

If it helps, Diynot was doing it about 40mins ago.

[ultimatehandyman]

was for mee too, but it is like lightening now

[thescruff]

I wonder whether its an ad Vodafone banner always seems to be around every time, and it's common the both forums.

[dave.m]

Still like walking in treacle at times.

This is the pathping at about the time you rebooted the server @2135:

Looks like it was losing it after hop 6 onto redstation-limited.
6 [208.50.13.193] is Sarasota, Florida
7 is also in the US so it could be that they are having probs but why it is not rerouted is a mystery to me.
