ForumSlowMotion

Very, very slow response today from forumotion.com. All other internet traffic running OK.
Does anyone else have this same problem?
osg

I do at work osg using Chrome. All ok on iPhone. Will check IE.

IE works fine. Must be a Google Chrome thing.

Try deleting your internet history and cache. Seems to have cured my 'delay.'

Working fine this morning straight after turning on the computer. I didn't change anything today.

The problem was persistent all afternoon and evening yesterday. Re-booted both my router and the computer but the problem remained there. Only forumotion.com affected, all other internet connections were quick.

Anyway all seems well for today.
Thanks Tim

Problem is back again today at 10am.
All other internet traffic is fast but when IE says between pages 'waiting for response from forumotion.com' the delay is about one minute long.
osg

PS. the text box for this response is much smaller than usual - only 2 lines high

Getting fed up now. The problem persists and has been the same for 8 hours today. All other internet traffic at normal speed. Every call for a page to forumotion.com takes ages and makes the Forum hardly useable.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Has this problem been reported back to Forumotion?

Have you deleted your internet cache and history osg as suggested?

'Have you deleted your internet cache and history osg as suggested?'
Yes Tim I have done that.
The problem seems to be very specific to the forumotion site either forumotion.com or brazilianvwbay.com and no problems with internet speed anywhere else.
The other change is that the message box here has changed in shape and format. Only 2 long lines available and no sign of the toolbar that usually lies along the top of the box.
Hope you can help

Nothing wrong here, sounds like your ISP might have put some kind of block on.

Forumotion have been alerted. Unfortunately they do not work weekends so we'll have to wait until tomorrow before we can expect any progress. However this does seem localised.

Which web browser are you using osg?

I had the same problem on Friday, when OSG first posted about the problem, both on my mobile and tablet (Windows 8.1 IE11). I was going to send you a tweet but other things took over, then by Saturday it seemed to sort itself out, for me at least, and I've not had the same problem since.

Just for info.

Had no problems at all

Tim
My web browser is IE 9.0
Strangely, there is no problem just now.
I now have had two long periods with the problem and two occasions when it went away.
Pleased to see that Sunny had a problem with IE 8 that coincided with my report - not just me then

My other question was about the format of the box used to post messages on the forum.
Just now when there is no delayed reponse, I am writing this in the usual style box with at least 10 line spaces for text and with the toolbar across the top of the box.
When the problem with response was present the message box was reduced in height to only two lines and the toolbar had completely disappeared. Don't know if you have reported that feature to Forumotion? Or if any other user has seen this change?

Will keep you informed if the problem returns

Other Forumotion users have seen the change to the text box so you're not alone. I'm sure this will be picked up in the am by the hosts.

Just for an update.
SlowMotion is back today and small text box back too.
Too slow to use
osg

It was so slow yesterday I couldn't be bothered. Better today though !!

Really slow for me today too.

Still being looked into by Forumotion.

I'm still getting no problems. Used ie at work today. It hung once but clicked the refresh button and it loaded straight away then no problems after that

I've not had access problems at all today.

Today: still delay in response and small text box
Search of the internet shows a multitude of other forums based on Forumotion have been suffering the same for the past few days - can't re-find the site with discussion on this.
Will have to wait for Forumotion to come up with an answer.
osg

Still very, very slow for me today. I guess they'll fix it when they can.

I've had no problems whatsoever over the last few days either at home on Ipad or at work on PC..
