Slow Loading rate....

[ChrisH36]

On my computer, whenever I load battleforums, it takes me about 30-45 seconds to load the battleforums main list and around the same time to load my User CP, my ping at this time is like 135-200. Can someone explain to me why my loading times are this high?

Note: I do not have any other internet explorer or MSN messenger programs running at the time of loading and my computer is running at optimal performance

what type of internet connect do you have? also, if you have a highspeed connection, it could be because of the amound of users connected.

Maybe you should turn off being able to se sigs and avatars. It worked well for 56k but thsnk g0d for DSL :D

Spyware, probably. Or some virus taking up your CPU and bandwidth.

Download Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoft.de) for spyware.

sword tip
speaking of Sigs and avatars...

your sig is over the file size limit... please remake and lower the quality or remove it all together. you have 24 hours.

Its cable, nuff said about that little question, and when i am browsing, everything is fine, jsut the loading issues. Plus i get the done but loaded with errors sign on my Status Bar

Any other sites run fine?

My ping is about 400 on good days and I load BF in about 7 seconds.

I can load a site like ffonline.com and ati.com in like 3-4 seconds.
Its just for some mysterious reason, it doesn't load this place properly (says "Done, but loaded with errors") though, it loads almost instanteously cause its a sytem net service

Try disabling 3rd party cookies.....

And give me your computer.

Could be the ads that are messing it up.

 

[ChrisH36]

Ok, no way amigo, and probably, the lag and stuff recently started with those Diablo 2 ads at the top of the screen, I do not want ads that want me to pay REAL money for crap you can find in a game

 

[aphextwin]

i just had the same problem few minutes ago but its ok now

 

[x42bn6]

If it's the D2 ads..... It brings in money, and one must live with it.....

Which portal do you use?

 

[xXSMGXx]

Yes same problem here, but not always

prob cuz the server for bf is in UK.. right? and sincei live in North america, it takes few moment to load, and sometimes a while, and some times ages.

 

[ChrisH36]

The server is fine now, which is pretty mysterious, but I guess the latency is very unpredictable with the internet traffic going on right now.
