MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16605 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	Firefox 3.6.3 keeps "hanging" at "waiting for www.MacTech.com" for 5 - 10 seconds lately before loading/reloading the forums. What's up with that? Pages load normally after MacTech.com gets around to responding. _________________________

neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1076 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	So, part of the pages for AppleCentral are pulled from the MacTech.com server. The question is what is the behavior you see of either MacTech.com or MacNews.com ? This is done intentionally, and is frankly, the only way that makes sense. And, do you see any issues on your connection -- e.g., can you ping those servers from your location.

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16605 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	I'll check later. Off to get the granddaughter now. It just began happening about a week ago. Used to connect almost immediately. It has been better the last hour or so. _________________________

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16605 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	"Waiting for www.MacTech.com..." About 30 seconds this evening from clicking on a thread/forum/post before anything at all happens. _________________________

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11329 Loc: Columbus OH	Originally Posted By: MacBozo "Waiting for www.MacTech.com..." About 30 seconds this evening from clicking on a thread/forum/post before anything at all happens. I's back to being a bit slow the last day or so, and even slower today. 10-15 secs to even start loading page content. Once it finds it it loads pretty much okay, but getting there is taking a long time. All other websites are fine BTW. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11329 Loc: Columbus OH	I think the main forum page loads a lot slower than the separate forums or threads do? MacTech and MacNews load pretty quick though, it's the forums that are slow. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 16605 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	I PM'd Neil with the ping info. Pings were between 79 and 83 ms, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. I'm having the same issues with Safari and FF. AppleCentral, MacTech, and MacNews all load almost immediately. _________________________

neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1076 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	We think that this is because of the massive backend work that we're doing to merge the new sites in. We've been doing this off and on for days.
