multiple posts are common because the servers been slow but it should improve over time

LOL, that's actually what I do. I open about 5 windows and read while I let them load, the thing that pisses me off though is the cases when they load with the done page with no content and I have to close the window and load it from scratch. It's worse when I make a post and that happens as now and then I forget its like that and I don't save my post, and I lose it.

That's why I love Firefox. Reload works on the empty pages too.

Loading has allways been slow for me (coming from europe) so this is not much of a problem. The problems i do have are
1) The Advertisement.
One of those. The smilie Ad constantly consumes insane amounts of CPU Power and whenever i leave GWGuru open in the Background, i can't play GuildWars because the heavy CPU Usage of those Ads screws my system over
2) Everchanging Functionality
This is probably only a temporary problem but i'm currently quite confused as the Board Interface constantly changes back and forth. Sometimes the edit button is missing so i simply can't edit one of my posts. Sometimes the quote button is completely gone, sometimes post reply is completely gone, sometimes the Control Panel is gone, sometimes everything is gone
And no, i'm NOT talking about closed threads or moderated sections of the board.

And that's why I love the Flashblock extension for Firefox. It was that smiley ad that caused me to get it and now I can have more than two Guru thread windows open at the same time without my computer crashing.

Yeah, it's been a problem for quite a while.
I been thinking of sending them an email saying something along
the lines of " If you're gonna do something, do it right or don't do
it at all", but nothing good can come of that.
Fact is that they probably "are" doing a lot right, or they wouldn't
have this insane amount of traffic.

Today the site is running much better. The longest waiting is when I use the post a quick reply button. But yeah today is much better. What did you do?
Inde
Um, nothing and it's been performing even worse for me

The site is definitely running much better today. The only problems are the slight hang-ups when posting. But it's not that bad. 7 or so seconds max.
Inde
Yeah, again no idea why that is. Let's enjoy it for a bit We do have some things planned coming up though.

Running slow but an odd situation with firefox, if it takes a long time it will sometimes ask where I want to save the showtread.php file itself instead of the (like a download file) vs rendering the php language on the server.

It is running slow for me as well specially at the peak times when the board is busy.This is in both IE and Firefox.I will get a time out or page unavaible when trying to submit a post.

That's odd. I've never got it here, but I do get it fairly often on GuildWiki.

The last 12 hours or so it has worked really well for me, usually I can hardly get pages to show now they appear almost instantly (as I would expect them to).
Thanks for fixing it - hope it isn't just some freak luck I'm having right now.

Horrible load times right now, and the bloody system is eating my cookies!
When I can get a forum to load, all threads are marked as read. Every time I encounter these tremendously long load times, I have the same read thread problem. Even the auctions are taking forever to load.

I am wondering if there are problems with FF lastest version as I am having issues mostly with loading.This is when I look at a thread or submit a reply or even a whole forum.The page goes white and then I have reload it once or twice anyway IE seesm to working great with the board but not FF.The board I work on FF work fine although it is a phpbb board not vb.

Oh dear 
come back Indie! The log in time is rubbish again, causing the Cannot find Server error again, plus, for about 4 hours this afternoon, the site was unavailable.

Horrible load times right now with multiple time outs.

This site is suddenly running extremely slow. It was working fine about an hour and a half ago, now, it takes at least 3-4 minutes to load each and every page. I noticed while using IE, the page sits on a black screen, seemingly loading nothing. While in Firefox, it loads the top of the page (menu and ad banner) but then sits for a few minutes as it appears to be trying to load the following:
Read cdn5.tribalfusion.com
Connecting to 4.adbrite.com...
Those are the messages I get in the bottom of the browser while it just sits here. Please look into this!

There are horrible load times, as well as massive delay between submitting a "Quick Reply" and it appearing on the page. I also tend to 404 when submitting a bid in the GWGuru Auctions area, and one of my music video threads (see Nolani forum) is a corrupt thread due to connection issues.
Also, I kept getting 404'd when attempting to get on the site this morning.

I just wanted to mention that there seems to be a problem accessing the page between 7:30 am and 10:30am eastern time. I can surf to other sites and everything else seems to load ok. But when coming here I get an error message. After 10:30am it lets me in. I dont know if this is something with the network here where I am working, but I wanted to pass it on in case anyone else is seeing this.
Inde
Yes, there is a script that is bringing the site down at 3am PST that has not been fixed. I will continue to send off emails and try to get this resolved and fixed.

I don't usually pay attention to the time, but now that you mention it I have noticed that it is unavailable in the morning. Even when it is available, it's very slow. I usually click to open a tab on the messages I want to read and by the time it's full across the top, the first one I clicked on is loaded. It's also slow loading replies and edits, etc.
majoho
It's running slow most of the time when I visit.

This is the slowest site I visit....always. Sometimes pages wont load (get a white screen and some unknown url) or I get the error page....I know part of it is the number of people on the site at one time. So keep it up (at least it doesnt go down as much as wiki used to).

I often get the white "Page can not be displayed" result when trying to do things in the auction, but with "leave feedback", it's over-the-top. I can no longer get the feedback page to come up at all. I only just recently noticed that you can leave feedback via a link on each e-mail you get (and that works most of the time), but I have 15-20 that still need to be done through "my control panel".
I'm in the Atlantic Time Zone (eastern Canada) btw.
Is their some other way I can leave feedback for individual auctions, or some suggestions as to things I might try to keep the pages from timing out?
