The forum was slow all day yesterday and now it won't load the first page even though I've set the number to 20.
Is the bandwidth at maximum?
Is someone working on it? Is that why it's acting weird?
It only works if the number is set to 20 right now.
I am able to get it to work in security mode but I have to reload the page otherwise it just times out.
Threads are loading here, but the sidebars are gone. Weird.
TU now.
Yep, click on an article with over 50 replys and only 16 or so load up.
It comes and goes and it’s inconsistent on either the security mode or not.
I’m just wondering if someone is working on it right now. I guess this time of the morning would be the best time.

Are you logged in?
People need to contribute to FR -- especially the 10,000 or more daily that are bogging down FR.
At some point John Robinson or Jim Robinson will respond to this thread.
Yes, very slow for several days now.
I had a lot of trouble yesterday adding comments. Very long delays on response time, many duplicate entries. BUT, this morning clicking on my “ping” link, gave me a response that said connection has been reset. So I restarted my router and the problem went away. I’m assuming it was outside interference, had similar issues on my cell phone.
Um; we just got done with a freepathon so money isn’t the problem.
T!ts up—like dead or incapacitated
No way it would be overloaded at this time of the morning. This is the slowest time of day which is why I was wondering if someone was working on it.
Do you know what’s going on or are you just throwing stuff out there to see if it will stick?
Strangely enough I get more consistency if I am NOT logged in. Sidebars will load fine. If logged in then they only load about 10% of the time. Seems to be profile related more than pure web server related.
Beyond that, if there was a need for a special FReepathon to address the ongoing capacity / reliability problems that have been evident for years, I’m sure we could raise the nesessary funds, if it were presented with some transparency and technical explanation.
I just closed my browser and opened it again seeing how it was using a lot of memory. (Firefox)
Seems to be working a bit better.
In this day and age of Trump did this and Trump did that, is it not possible and plausible for someone to be interfering with OUR network ?
I am not experiencing the slowdown of which this thread speaks, but I have in the past been part of a general cluster.
After my almost twenty years, I'm giving FR and The Robinson's all the room they need and my support.
I’ve lost the sidebar and it won’t load the page fully. (FWIW) :-)
Yesterday and last night, it was occasionally taking nearly two minutes to load a single page, then began working with a 1-5 second delay, which is usable.
I have said my piece without being nasty on here and backed it up with troubleshooting methods and observational data, but there is an element here who thinks that if you have any criticism of the performance of the Free Republic servers, then you are a whiner, or worse.
I don’t understand that mind set. I haven’t read the entire thread yet, but if they haven’t shown up, I am pretty sure they will.
