Site on a Go-Slow? - MG-Rover.org Forums

Fast Jan · 09-03-2008, 20:56

I've been having problems for a few days now, constantly getting the 'IE Cannot display page' message when I click on threads etc

It's only on .org though - not having problems with any other sites so I was wondering if anyone else is having probs?

Or is it just me?

Rover_214_16V · 09-03-2008, 21:02

Just you, it has been ok for me recently

Fast Jan · 09-03-2008, 21:07

Thanks for that

Maybe it's my IE then, the lack of pages loading has been driving me nuts.

I'll try it on firefox for a few days and see if thats any better.

Chris T · 09-03-2008, 21:22

It's been like this for me over the last week both at home and work.

Fast Jan · 09-03-2008, 21:31

I am glad you said that as it's still doing it now with FF.

Oh well, I'll just keep copying my posts before hitting the submit button then so as I don't have to keep re-typing them.

Very frustrating though

Rover_214_16V · 09-03-2008, 22:48

Jan, when using Firefox.

If i type out a post and then its unable to submit, I don't lose all of the text. If i hit the back button, either on my mouse, or on the keyboard it'll go straight back to the page with all my text in. Therefore i don't have to type it all out again.

It could be a Internet service provider problem?
Or are you ok on other websites?

Have you tried deleting, cookies etc?

Thanks

I know that I need a new modem at home, but work is plumbed straight into the the Supper Janet backbone and I am still having problems with .ORG.

Dr Dave · 10-03-2008, 06:20

Same here........

SteveChilds · 11-03-2008, 10:13

Out of interest, anyone who is on XPF as well, do you get similar problems on XPF?

Chris T · 11-03-2008, 10:30

I often try XPF at the same time to see if it's any better and 9 times out of 10 it is.

Bromsgrove man · 11-03-2008, 11:54

Been fine for me, I've been using explorer.

I was interested in the thread as a few users on a forum I admin are having similar problems. Thats a phpbb forum though so must be so unrelated bug...

Its more likely (read: 100% likely) to be your ISP thats having problems rather than your browser, it just being a "dumb terminal" at the end of the day.

ashy · 13-03-2008, 11:23

What is the problem with this forum, the host is rubbish? It constantly times out anything up to 5 mins at a time and quite regularly. Fed up with having to repost things. I find it very frustrating.
It's nothing to do with either my connection or my ISP as I can connect to other web pages no problem while .org is timing out.

RolandRat · 13-03-2008, 12:29

It's certainly bad web performance for me today..pages failing to load on this site.

I'll try the XPF one to see if that's the same

Bazza · 13-03-2008, 12:47

I've had a lot of failed page requests today and I gave up at one point

Me too - around 11:00ish I gave up too.

I saw Steve was on line so assumed he might be doins some server maintenance but doesn't look like that now.

Seems a bit better now though

Bazza · 13-03-2008, 13:01

He was probably playing a game online

mercodus · 13-03-2008, 13:06

Same here too but it means I can get some work done while waiting for a page to load, win win situation....

Brains · 13-03-2008, 21:43

I haven't been able to get on the site for 2 hours. Page cannot be displayed continually.
