It seems to work great 99.9% of the time, but very rarely it'll go into this random spurt (random times of the day) and take like 15 seconds to load everything, but then immediately clears up.

15seconds????? thats the NORMAL time for this site to load for me, now I have seen almost NO improvement at all.....today it took me about 10 minutes to load one page (got a few of those white blank pages first).....SLOW is an understatement....I have worked on dial-up in the old days that is faster than I am getting on this site recently.
yes its getting frustrating to say the least (that and the post quick reply that either says you have to wait 30 seconds to post, if you posted a poll you can do so now, or just white screens.....). sigh

I am not having issues anymore either. Before the site would time out every 10-15 minutes. But now I might have a slow down every once in a while but the speed has greatly increased and I'm not having time outs or db errors.
For those having problems, I need your location, browser you are using... and if you are using something other then the default skin. Is it just the forums? Is it the auction? Is it the homepage as well? Is it a certain time of the day? All the time? Any info you can provide will be helpful.

still using firefox, its a weeeeeeeeeee infinitesimally faster on the default than 2a (grrrrrr no more 2b reallly really hate that junk below the bottom post and the reply box....it has no use and takes up space).....
loggin in takes minutes, reply sometimes works, sometimes get errs, sometimes white screen....loading pages can take anywhere from 15 sec to 10 minutes....makes it very hard to do anything on this site.
it is the ONLY site I have this problem with (I am on other sites at the same time and while this one is 'waiting for guru' I can read the news, google stuff, do just about anything, etc.... except navigate on this site)
I have changed nothing on my computer. (and I get used to having to copy my replies since it has a tendency to forget what I wanted to post...so now I always copy it before I hit reply)

This whole site is always slow for me. That is a bummer because it is the best one out there.
I love the auction, and that is REALLY slow.
Thanks for the great site, hopefully it can speed up somehow.

slower than molasses in december here....makes it almost impossible to post anything when you have to wait minutes to post, get the white page of death a few times and then I just get frustrated and give up.
yes I have cleared my cookies (my computer and I have had some issues and we did a thorough clearing out....no improvement whatsoever.).....I usually get a few pages in before I feel like I am walking through drying cement....then the how long does it take sets in (I was able to make dinner, load the dryer and answer the door all before some pages load....).
Hope things improve soon.

it was unusable at midnight GMT in UK, any searches were hanging and then turning into a white page
same with auction searches
refreshes took about 1-2 minutes to load
now at 2am it seems faster. (10 sec loading times)
as said above, its a great site, with a ton of information, but sometimes its 100% unusable which is a real shame

Time and Timezone would help especially when reporting slowdowns as this would allow us to correlate it with certain server maintenances or problems that we know of.

2pm - 4:30pm GMT uk randomly getting database errors on refreshes/clicking pages
5pm - 5:15 site down
on another site i use, they was having the same problem with database and it was down to certain searches. it would lock up the forum and not work for 5-10 minutes at a time.
maybe something to look at?

as i'm making this post, ~Noon, US Central, things have been slow for me all day. i've gotten a few database error pages and slow loads. when i say slow, i mean very slow. i can click a link on Guru and, while i'm waiting, open another tab and check my yahoo mail acct before the Guru page finally loads. i can also get up and go have a smoke, come back and it still won't be loaded sometimes.
EDIT: it took about 45 seconds for this post to actually load.

seems a bit quicker and have had no white pages of death....though the errors of quick posting are still here (you posted in the last 30 sec, if you posted a poll, etc) and if I go to edit a post it erases the whole post and just leaves what I added....guess I wont edit my own posts anymore.
thanks kzap.

The above post took 2 minutes 56 seconds to process, then gave the error "you must wait 30 seconds between posts" while trying to double-post. Refreshing this page to see if my post was here took a further minute.
Using "Post quick reply" if that makes any difference

it took me 10 minutes to get to this page, and then to log in...well.
slow is an understatement....it has times that are better and times that are horrible (and some of those are NOT during 'peak' hours)...
we'll see how long it takes me to even post this...then I am going back to watching bleach.

I was wondering what was going on. Its definately been slower this past week then it normally is. Very intermitent.

It's been quite annoying for the past three weeks or so. It usually loads four or five pages fast, then for the following it takes a while, sometimes like even three minutes, and then repeat the process.
Only happens with Guru.
10:10 P.M., I think it's CST.

Right now every page is basically taking at least 5 minutes to load, the forums are practically unvisitable at the moment.

yup still have to click on a link, change tabs, browse a different forum for a while and come and check maybe the site is loaded.
