Tried to load the sins modding forum

I was logged in

I clicked the link on the main forum and refreshed, same result

Using 64bit Vista with Firefox 3.0.11

When trying to go to the mod forum or most other pages, it takes forever and then it only loads the stickies and leaves the thread list completely blank.

It is happening to me right now.

Timestamp on my post works for time, but it's been happening all morning.

Always for http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/469 - General forum.  Coincidentally the other forums like ideas (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/forum/471) are not suffering.  It's always General.

I am logged in, as you can see.

It doesn't seem to matter how you get there, url copy/paste, Click the "Demigod" link from a post top/bottom, or hit "Home" then click General from there.  Same result.

Same thing happens as above post describes - Stickies are there  but the "Recently Active Posts" section just stops, and the "Forum Jump" bar is right there instead of the posts.  Then Moderators section, then Sub Category sections are intact.

Windows XP FireFox 3.0.11

Just happened to me, tried to go to general forum, wouldn't load I wanted to make a new post, took me half an hour to get to it. Xp

Been having problems since 23:00[about] on 21/06/2009. General symptoms are severe unresponsiveness- regardless of page desired or being logged in. Happens with Opera and IE8. Opera doesn't throw any errors and just hangs for a while. IE8 says "Base.UI is NULL or not an Object. Code 0. Line 1000 char 1"

Opera:
Version
9.64
Build
10487
Platform
Win32
System
Windows NT 5.2
Java
Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.6

IE8 *32:
8.0.6001.18702

Hope this helps somehow,

What happened? I can view my posts, my replies and the recent threads, but I can't go into any forums  (ie general)
When this happened Right meow
Which page this happened on forums.sinsofasolarempire.com
Were you logged in? Yes
Did you refresh or click on a link to get to the page with the issue? I can't get it to load.
What browser/OS you are using Chrome and IExplorer 8 vista 64 bit

1537 EST today 6-22-09.  Following occurred while logged in, initially to MyReplies, which itself loaded within a second or two tops.

Clicked on 'Politics' in the Forum Categories List while viewing My Replies.

Took about 20-22 seconds for the page (https://forums.joeuser.com/forum/3) to load.  Both Pinned and Recently Active lists are collapsed with a 'minus sign' showing on the Expand/Collapse button.  Clicking on the E/C button for either section changes it to a 'plus sign' but the list does not expand.

FF3 with all updates through today (3.0.11).

Thanks for your work on these issues, Bara.

EDIT: This has been an intermittent problem.  When that page loads in a normal/reasonable time, the lists are expanded as expected.  It's only when the page takes a long time to load that they're collapsed & 'unexpandable.'

I'd also note that loading any forum is *extremely* slow, but loading posts directly (from "My Replies" menu) is much faster.

* Very slow page loads, it goes up and down a lot (between 1 sec - 8 sec) on the page load time, but the actual time between clicking a link and having the page in front of me can come close to 30 seconds

* 0:45, or 12:45 AM I think you call it, European time (which is GMT +1). Dunno EST but you should be able to tell according to post time of this post (it's 12:55 AM here now when I'm posting this) [edit] apparantly I'm at EST +6, so the time the problem occured would be 18:45ish. Happened to me again while loading this page a while after, right now, at 19:20.

* The page clicked was: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/356930/page/2 Does however happen with other random pages too, it's too up and down to pin it down. The my replies page seems to load pretty fast every time though.

* Yes I was logged in. I have a direct link to the my replies page in internet explorer and visit every topic I replied in from there, or visit the 'home' forum section from there.

* I clicked the link from the my replies page (it had a new reply)

* Screenshot is pointless. The problem is long loading times. Taking a screen of the page render time is useless because that usually is not that high, even though the page took a lot longer than that to actually load.

* Windows 7 RC (build 7100). MSIE8 (integrated) at version 8.0.6001.18783 Everything fully updated.

Did another short test, clicking from the home page (of demigodthegame.com) to General.

Time it took from clicking till page display: 47 seconds (Test 2: 47 seconds again)

Page render time indicated: 531 ms (0.531 seconds) (Test 2: 0.601 seconds)

Not quite reality

NB: This problem is at the moment repeatable for me!

Test 3 also gave me 47 seconds to load. If you maybe negate the actual render time you might set it at 45 seconds. It seems there is a timeout involved, which happens everytime at the indicated time. This is everytime only with the General subforum. Other pages seem to be 'reasonably snappy', eg < 8 seconds, before aswell as after I load General. The long page load time of General is probably what annoys most users so I'd look into a timeout at server level of some sorts. This concludes my forum hosting wisdom I gathered from surfing around Sorry if I seem like a know it all but the 'time out' caught my eye. Also sorry in hindsight for the bold, I must look like a 14 year old kid..

Something you did at the end of the work day has the forums flying along. They were sluggish all day and then... success.

A glycerin suppository or an enema would be my guess.  

I can tell you this is ocassional and very likely to do with server load.

What happened? Most likely the main Demigod General forum page (Not the sub-foums). Slow loading. When it finishes loading, no topic listing (Recently active posts), just the stickies are visible. Retrying usually doesn't work until 5-10 mintues later or more.

When this happened Ocasionally. Once at June 6, 2009 12:57:55 GMT. Once yesterday June 22 at night GMT and several other times in between. Forgot the time though.

Looks like my idea worked.

Forums are quite snappy this morning, without any apparent glitches.

Keep em coming guys.  The more info the better.  A few of us are reading your replies and trying to come up with solutions
