Has anyone noticed, but I think this site has gotten slower than FUC* lately? I try to do a search and it take 30 seconds to open up the search screen, another 30 seconds to go back to it.... and it is not my computer or my connection. I surf the internet at blazing speeds everywhere else with broadband. Some may think that it is acceptable to have to wait.... I don't though.... look at the "hobby" I'm in! just venting...
My connection just rips along! I have about a 1 to 2 second delay when opening the TER home page, then once I'm in, I can move anywhere on the sight instantly when I click. I don't actually think it has anything to do with being a moderator though, because it works that way even before I log in, so I'm accessing the site anonimously, just like anyone. I don't think it is my connection either, I usually log in from various Dunn Bros. coffee houses around the metro, or my Verizon wireless broadband and when I do a bandwidth.com test, both only score in the 200 to 300 range. The only thing I can think of is I have a rather fast, bare-bones computer with a ton of DDR4 RAM in it, maybe it can gobble TER packets faster or something??
I'll say that you guys are not alone, I hear others complaining about lag too,,, I'll ask Staff if there is anything on TER's end that might be causing this.
I hate to say it but when you go to the other site and check things out it is extremely fast. I have had this problem for a while too. Using very new Dell w/1 gig ram. Cable modem. I don't know what elese it could be. It has to be a server issue...
The TER servers were moved to Ampsterdam (I cannot discuss why, but it's a good thing!) and that contributes to the lag, but TER is constantly working on "stuff", so everything will always continue to improve on an on going basis......
