    Default Anyone else having the problem with loading slow.

    I was just wondering if anyone has problems with WB site being slow. I can go to any other site and it loads quick but not so much with WB. I have cable internet so its not like Im trying to use dial up or anything. Other times when I try and bring up the site I get a data base error too. Just kinda wondering if it could be the server host that they use or maybe not having enough band width.

    It is, I believe, an issue with the recent upgrade and Java not getting along.
    I experience screen reloads and redraws at times that seem inappropriate,
    and a general sluggishness in navigating and getting pages top load.

    Give the guy behind the curtain a few more days, Toto.

    its a little frustrating, but Im sure the boys will get everything worked out.What?This campsite is full?Now what am I supposed to do?
    The benefit of the slower loading is less sniping, we now have several seconds to think before we snipe.

    The update may have some to do with it because it is a little worse than before but I noticed it beefore the update too especially with the data error that I get sometimes. Thats was has me wondering if it has something to do with the server and the allowed band width.

    The site is so slow now that I just usually give up and visit other sites. I doubt that I am the only one doing that. As far as I'm concerned the upgrade has been a a failure. It wasn't broke before but it sure is now!

    I also have noticed the same slow loading, but with Hammock Forums it is normal for me as are other sites.

    Same here. Slow. And as was said, I was planning to simply be patient and to give the webmeisters a while to work out the kinks.

    I will add that WB says I have NO POSTS since November of last year, until today. I hope that major glitch gets corrected, of course.

    Not slow on my end. Just not used to the new format.
    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    It comes and goes with mine, sometimes fast sometimes slow. I saw in another thread where ATTROLL was updating something on the data base so that could be the cause of slowing down. If the updates are done now it should speed back up, hopefully...

    Off the home page, there's a link to a thread about the upgrade. Attroll said that today's slowness is caused by him reindexing the forum databases to address the search problems. The act of reindexing is taxing the servers - hence the sluggishness. If you try searching now, you'll find better results than you would have yesterday. Once the process is done, it should be right speedy, and searches a lot better.

    Me too. It took at least two minutes to open White Blaze this morning. At least that's the time that elapsed before Whiteblaze showed after I thought to look at my watch.
