User Feedback (everyone vote please): Site Loading

[Nifelhein]

So, I always have this issue where I have to hit refresh once or twice to get the site to load properly, it is rare the day i can load it at the first time. Since someone reported the same issue at the SMF support forums and I, as well as others, think this is a server issue I wanted to check if you do have this or not.

No need to reply to the thread, so lurkers can vote as well.

Nif,

Most often it works best on my mac mini. Sometimes, strangely, it won't load properly though.

I long ago gave up trying to understand such things. Internet is for me the realm of irrationality

No problem for me, but (far as my understanding of technical things is) it might also be browser problem.

FYI,
everything works fine for me.

I use two browsers when I test things, IE7 and Firefox 2.something and both of them have had the same thing since a few months after the new site launched, at first it was rare but then it became the norm. As of now I am unable to access the site at all, and this might just be a dns issue I expect to have solved int he next day or two.

I am using a proxy to get here, by the way.

Would you guys mind saying where you are posting from (country only is fine).

Recently, it's actually been OK for me. A while ago it was slow and jerky... but it seems you've inherited my problem now

[Nifelhein]

The issue I face and some seem to face now and then is what I think is tied to the server, the recent issue i am facing I am certain is an issue with my ISP, specifically the DNS, for yesterday AtS domain name expired, I expect in a few days I will not need to use a proxy any more, just my usual "refresh until it shows up" problem.

I don't have that problem, neither at home (where most of the front page is cached anyway), nor at school, both places with windows/firefox(1.5 I think).
The page seems sluggish when I try to post sometimes however, but not enough to be annoying.

Edit: And I post from Norway, if you didn't already know.

My first response was "Works perfect for me" but oddly enough I was having to refresh yesterday.

lol, funny enough after clicking the "Post" button, I got a blank white page.

I've never noticed a problem, not even once.  East Coast of the US.

Used to have problems, but haven't in a while.

Might just be a flooded router somewhere along the path from AtS to you?

No probs for me, can be slow on my phone using Opera Mini, but i think that is more to do with the crapness of 3G, and it's struggle with data, rather than any fault of this site to load.

Although, for some reason (although Opera has allowed me to log in to other websites I have membership too) the site won't allow me to log in. Ah well  At least I can get can view the pages!

Oh, and Nottingham, England.                              UPDATE! Can now log in on my phone as well, and for some reason beyond my ken, has speeded up to.

Very belatedly noticing this - seems fine for me.  Also in the UK.

Yeah, the site has a "light viewing" for those using wap and the like, anyone can use it for the forums (though the frontpage is messy since only the news items show upl) by placing a ;wap at the end of the url (it seems the frontpage uses a &wap instead though).
