Site takes forever to load

Is there something going on? It barely moves with Explorer and doesn't do anything with Mozilla. What gives?

Re: Site takes forever to load

Are you referring to the home/front page (https://www.thirdgen.org), or the forums? I'm not seeing any issue with the forums itself, but there is a known problem with the home/front page (https://www.thirdgen.org).

That's true, I never noticed the forums being fine but the front page being so slow. Any thoughts?

Re: Site takes forever to load

its been taking longer than normal for me as soon as i sing in, when it goes back to the main page, otherwise its ok, maybe you got some program running in the background of your computer thats binding it up, sound more like that, since you said Mozilla makes it do nothing, do other web sites load fast, go to http://www.mustangforums.com/ since i know that no self respecting camaro owner goes there, i know you wont have any cookies for it, if it loads super slow also then its your computer, if its fast than its something on here

The home/front page (https://www.thirdgen.org) is our issue. I'd love to fix it myself, but I had to submit a report ticket to the tech team and wait for resolution.

Re: Site takes forever to load

replies to posts have been terrible after clicking "submit", I double click then it`ll go but give me an error but will show the post in the end.

Re: Site takes forever to load

Same for me with Mozilla. It will load eventually, but it literally takes 2-3 minutes. I felt like I was back in the Apple 2E days!!!

Also, it only happens to me if I log in on the home page. If I skip to the forum and then log in, I don't have any issues...
