Is this website slow, or is it me?

Mark_B_Good

About 2 months ago, I've noticed intermittent issues with this site, but it's happening more often now than prior.  Some pages take FOREVER to load.  Sometimes I cannot load my alert or message pop ups at all.  

It's pretty bad.

It isn't happening on other websites.

Anyone else noticing this?

Thread glitches and slow to load and post here as well. I’m usually 100% on mobile, but my Chromebook did the same exact thing

Yes, I should have stated ... on my phone, there seems to be no issue. But on my PC using Edge it is horribly slow.

No issues here, other than the how many new posts counter not resetting after reading new posts
on Chrome mobile or desktop. I do notice its a bit slow on the work computer, but the internet there is terrible @ 10Mbps

It works fine on my one laptop, but terribly on another laptop. And that "another" laptop is fine on all other sites

Once in a while, I get this error message when things time out waiting for the site to load. Not sure if this offers a clue to the host of this website platform?

It's always been glitchy, it seems to go through waves, perhaps related to updates or lack of updates.

We’ll have to ask the Buffalo once he posts that “Ask the Buffalo” thread.

It's become almost impossible to use on my work computer. I'm having to resort to my phone to see messages.

I am beginning to think it is you @Mark_B_Good

Could be my work firewall, security, etc.
Home PC also is fast.
Thing is, it wasn't like that a month ago ... it just started all of a sudden.

I wonder if your computer is running something in the background that's using a lot of memory.
