Slow Forum Loading Problems

Forum URL: Numerology.

Sluggish ProBoards forum loading speed, mostly when logging in, and also slow when clicking on new posts when logged on.
Operating System: Windows 10 - version: 20H2
Web Browser: Chrome Version 91.0.4472.101 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Perhaps you can look into any ProBoards computer server performance issues you might have?

Hi Merlyn

Had a quick browse of your forum and it appears to be loading ok at this time. Hopefully it was just a temporary issue that they got fixed pretty quickly. If you are still experiencing problems, please let us know.

Problem still exists on ProBoards, despite both my partner merlyn and me upgraded to faster speed broadband.
Yet instant browser loading on both Microsoft and Twitter websites, including other forum websites.
Time for you to buy and replace your slow computer server on ProBoards?

Else you are likely to find people giving up with you and moving their forum members to another faster forum website.
I based my claim on reading the latest forum host review, ProBoards is trailing in Second place.
Time for ProBoards to hold own boardroom meeting methinks.

I cannot cast any pagan good luck spell for you, during our waning Moon phase.
Even your USA presidents has used astrology for many years for:
Predicting war outbreaks worldwide and plan when is auspiciously good in getting their bill approved by both Congress and the Senate.
Blessed Be for now.

Thanks for posting back   The servers are constantly being 'upgraded', so that is not a problem. In fact, conversely to you, i find twitter slower than ProBoards for loading pages, but that just points to other factors being involved.

I notice you have an animated background on the forum you linked in your first post. Depending on your device, backgrounds like that can cause what appears as slow loading. As a test, if you remove that background, does the problem you are having on your forum persist?

We found out this was due to some sites, like Facebook won't accept cookies from anyone using VPN.
However, this was a Google Chrome problem.
Solution for other Chrome users is:
1. Set Allow cookies in your Privacy section.
2. Clear web browser cache.

3. Restart your Computer system.

Then Chrome works fine and anyone can access most websites without any slow loading problems.

Did you know about IT history?
Fact - it was a WOMAN who first made the computer system.
Although this were antiquated with analogue moving machinery.
However, her machine did compute binary.
Oh, and Bill Gates got his first DOS contract from IBM based at Havant, England.
Bill went onto developing Microsoft Windows, which without his contribution nobody would bother using the Internet.
