    Don't know what it is, but I'm having trouble loading pages today. And I know I'm not the only one.

    I'm glad for the new servers, but there seems to be a burp somewhere in the system.

    BigSoccer doesn't seem especially slow right now -- it's taking pages about 2 seconds to load via my DSL connection.

    However, it is a bit of a let-down compared to the speed we saw immediately following the big server upgrade a few days ago when pages were loading close to instantaneously via broadband.

    For the past couple of days at work where I have DSL hooked up to a crappy computer it has been very slow. When I go to post or click on a link my little bar thingy on my browser will immediately go to the halfway point and then take several seconds before it loads.

    Here at home I am using dialup :rolleyes: hooked up to a bottom of the rung DELL laptop and it definately goes faster than when I surf at work.

    I am still having this problem. The page load freezes midway through. I have to hit refresh for it to load entirely.

    Yep, it's still doing it (or doing it again) for me too. (I'm a premie using DSL). It seems to be associated with the lunch time rush, but this is more pronounced than anything I've noticed since I switched to DSL from dial up last year.

    It hasn't been bad for me the past couple days but this morning its been terribly slow loading. I have also had to reload a couple times after it simply stopped loading.

    Yep. I mean, how can we 'share the passion' if we can't get to the pages? :)

    I'm running into that problem as well occasionally. Not all the time, but at least I can go to "my page" and things work OK.

    However, I've had another problem the past few days: I click on a thread or the quote button or the "my page" link and I get a popup box asking me if I want to download this file? Huh? I just want to go to another page.

    Anyone else running into that problem besides me?

    And yet at this very moment it's like I click a link. Say, post reply.

    It slowly starts to 'get' the next page (little bar at the bottom of the browser screen).

    I click Stop, then hit the link again, and it almost always goes right to it.

    I've had to do that about 6 times now in the past 5 minutes.

    Oh, and prem. and on cable.

    BigSoccer's working great for me right now using DSL. It's taking less than a second for pages to fully load.

    One reason might be that I'm no longer getting the drop-down menus. As someone previously suggested, perhaps that feature was slowing down the site for premium users.
