Senior Forums Really Slow?

[Jules]

Anyone else finding SF really slow.

This is the third day of the orange line scrolling across the top.

Yes... I never know whether it's me or them.
Glad for the confirmation!

 

[Murrmurr]

Yes

 

[LadyEmeraude]

YES, slow for me and the Orange line scrolling across the top.

I was leaning in the direction of that it
Was my/ this new phone I’m having to
use for posting.

Slow, like a DDoS or forum software update.

Edit: feels like MSN dialup, roaring along at about 33 Kbps. Oh, the good old days!

It's CRAWLING. I tried to apply a reaction to a post and it took 30 seconds to apply. My WIFI is flying on all other sites - just slow on this one.

Edited at 10:40 CST: I'll just sign out and try some other time. This is taking way too long.

It has been very slow at times today…no problems elsewhere.
The orange line is green for me.

 

[Jules]

@Matrix, do you have any idea why this is happening?

 

[hollydolly]

Yes it's horrible.. that orange line scrolling across the top forever... having to keep refreshing... dreadful

 

[RadishRose]

Slooooow

I have found that when this happens the servers become overloaded. I doubt if this is the problem here because it hasn’t happened previously, but it’s always a possibility.

My son has 3 servers in his basement that he maintains and if they begin to get near their capacity, his servers switch to another server. I don’t know much about the inter workings of these things, other than what he tries to explain to me.

 

[debodun]

Me too. A lot of Web sites down right now.

 

[hollydolly]

This is the only one that's being slow for me

 

[JustBonee]

It’s been slow to nonexistent at times today for me … only this site is acting that way.

Getting a lot of this:

[officerripley]

Yes! So slooow or else freezing completely, no matter which browser I try (and I've tried about 6).

 

[LadyEmeraude]

Once I log off and then return a bit later to log back in, it’s taking about 5 min to let me back in.

Last night, I was unable to to successfully log
Out for 3 hours.

 

[Bella]

Yes, it's moving very slowly. I thought it was just me.

Also, for the first and only time, on this site, my security window popped up alerting me to a malicious URL. > https://syndicatedsearch.goog

My access to the site show that it takes too long to load and check internet connection. Then the connection spins around before coming on the site. One thread on here said I could not read as not accessible.

 

[RadishRose]

very slow

 

[QuietByNature]

Slow here as well, on my phone using LTE and have full bars.

Amazon Web Services had a big outage today and affected lots of websites. This may be an artifact of that. They make up a large part of the internet.

I did hear about an Amazon Web services outage in a fleeting blurb, on the morning noise news. Interesting theory.

 

[Pinky]

Slow yesterday .. slower today.

 

[Kika]

very slow

 

[Medusa]

Oh sheesh, I thought it was my PC. I was about to do a hard reset. Having the same issues already mentioned here.
