Post your page loading times

Sure wish I could create a poll for this, but anyway...

Doesn't matter whether I have the customizing scripts enabled or not...GreaseMonkey and/or the Stylish add-on enabled or disabled. I turn AdBlock off or leave it on. Browser cache cleared, or loaded up with common AdobeForums elements.

Connecting with a robust Comcast cable connection, usually testing at about 6100 kbps for download speeds.

Most thread index pages take on average anywhere from 28 - 34 seconds to completely load for me.

A thread with no replies maybe 10 - 12 seconds.

Is anyone getting significantly faster speeds on similar connections?

    I'd post my loading time but the batteries in my stopwatch died while I was waiting for the page to load.

    Firefox 3.0.8 in Windows XP Pro

    With (nearly?) identical configurations at work and home.

    At home on DSL: all loading times acceptable; no problems.

    At work on LAN/T1: Everything works acceptably until I attempt a reply. After clicking a reply link, I wait 40 sec. to 2 minutes for the post editor to load, and when/if it does, the live user entry area is absent. In other words, the boxed area in which I have a live insertion point for typing like I am now, (at home), simply isn't there. I can't post a reply. Bizarre. Like this:

    I see that often too. usually a page reload, or go back and forward a few times clears it up. sometimes i just give up. sad.

    About two minutes to get in this time, but then I was still logged in.

    I can in good conscience say that this POS forum is the worst performing one I have ever visited.

    What OS and browser are you using ?

    The people with slow loading times should post relevant information so we can see if there is a pattern. It would be interesting to kinow ISP as well because all or either of the foregoing can/may be the issue(s) causing the problem. I personally have quite fast load times on any of the 'puters I've used via the web.

    OK.  Here is some information.

    MacPro (OS X, 10.5.6)

    Safari(3.2.1)

    Comcast Cable modem

    current download speed from San Jose to Chicago:  16 megabits/sec
    The forum load times with Jive are neither better nor worse than the Webx forums.  Totally unpredictable.

    Every day, about this time, things slow down to even more of a crawl than usual.

    I just noticed that the time stamp I see is local not 8.22 PST

    Re: Post your page loading times

    How does four hours sound? I tried logging in at 8 am yesterday, and finally got in after noon. Sometimes I could get to the menu page, and sometimes to the evil ColdFusion login tool. But I never actually got to a forum where I could post. I was ready to swear off the forums entirely when I finally was on, and then was told I had to sign in again between posting one message and reading the next.

    But gee, aren't them colors purty.

    Good grief!  The access times today are HORRIBLE!

    Is there any evidence that anything is going to get fixed?  And when?

    I hope its a good sign we're on our way back to the webX forums.

    We can't go back to Webx, for many reasons.

    1 - 2 seconds. Comcast.
    I often found the old forum slow to load.
    For some reason I am staying logged in today.

    In Amsterdam, Netherlands on a typical 20 Mbit/s DSL (measuring at 12 Mbit/s) it's usually in at 5 seconds.

    *When it worked correctly* webx was faster.   But it would drop page requests about 1/20 attemps, or hang for a few minutes with the same frequency.  It was kinda broken under the load.

    Jive has been more stable, but slower (2 to 5 seconds to load a topic typically, up to 30 seconds if you do a page reload).

    But, I don't think they've finished tuning the server setup yet, or the style sheets.
