Proboard forums loading slowly. Sept 27, 2012 5:36:52 GMT -8

Post by The Fizz on Sept 27, 2012 5:36:52 GMT -8

For some reason ever since a few days ago. All the proboard forums I am on have been very slow on loading up. Other sites I go onto load straight away but proboard forums seem to be loading a lot slower than usual. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem or it's just me?

Also, if you haven't already, try disconnecting from and back to the internet

Do you know how you run a tracert on your computer?

You should be able to run a tracert. start >> run >> type "cmd" and hit enter >> type "tracert X.proboards.com" (where x is a forum you visit and are having problems) and hit enter copy the results here.

Hi Fizz,

According to the traceroutes that you posted, you're reaching our servers just fine. Can I have you give something a try? Visit the forum using this link. Once you're at the forum with this link, press the refresh button a couple of times and see if you notice a difference in the loading of the forum compared to visiting it regularly (do not navigate away from the page, such as by clicking into another area of the forum, as this will not benefit the test)

When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind.

It still loaded very slowly.

Interesting. All is well on our end, so it might be an issue with the route your ISP is taking to reach our servers that's causing the slowness for you. Can I have you try another test if you're willing?

Can I have you download a program called WinMTR, you can get it for free here. On that page, you don't have to fill out your info if you do not want to, instead you can click the download button to begin the download. Once the program is downloaded, unzip the WinMTR-v092 folder to your desktop; this program does not require an install to use, so when you're done with this test you can simply delete the WinMTR folder and it'll no longer be on your system.

Once you have the contents un-zipped to your desktop, open the WinMTR-v092 folder and then open the WinMTR_x32 folder (or if you know for sure that you have a 64-bit computer, open the WinMTR_x64 folder instead. If you're unsure, it's best to just go with the x32 version). Then launch WinMTR.exe.

When the program loads, in the "Host" area, type in: apwprez.proboards.com and then click the "Start" button. While the test is running, visit the forum apwprez.proboards.com and browse around and note any slowness that you experience. Let MTR test run for about a minute and then click the "Stop" button. Once that's done, if you did experience slow loading during the testing time, click the button for "Copy Text to Clipboard" and paste the contents in a post here. Otherwise if the forum loaded fine during the MTR test, then the results will likely be clean and you may want to retest again.

Once we have the results from that, I can have our system admins look to see if that indicates a problem

When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind.
