Freezing up

Whiskey · Jul 22, 2015

Has anyone else experienced the forum freezing up for a couple of seconds and loading slow? for me this started happening yesterday afternoon.

RodThaVapenRat · Jul 22, 2015

Yea I'm experiencing it to,really slow to load

VaporJoe · Jul 22, 2015

loading perfectly fine for me.

Time · Jul 22, 2015

Yep. I get a warning that a script won't run. Started yesterday.

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: http://ajax.cloudflare.com/cdn…loudflare.min.js line 5 > eval:28

Tom950 · Jul 22, 2015

same here. its not continous though. Seems to come and go. I hit my scroll wheel and nothing happens for a few seconds

Whiskey · Jul 22, 2015

Ok, guess its not on my end of things then.

DickyT · Jul 22, 2015

Yes, I do get delays from time to time. When they happen I try another browser or my phone. When it happens in all 3 browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and on my phone I take a break from trying to read the forum.

ZoeBoy · Jul 22, 2015

Yep, me too.

BigNasty · Jul 22, 2015

Same it is the suck.

Mattp169 · Jul 22, 2015

same here. just freezes for 10-20seconds then works fine for a few minutes then freezes again

Whiskey · Jul 22, 2015

I am sure Admin is looking into the cause, hopefully it will get straightened out soon

Markw4mms · Jul 22, 2015

Yep, been happening here some too.

CJ · Jul 22, 2015

I am actively trying to replicate this issue, keep in mind that it might very well be your home internet connection. If you think however its on VU's end please just tag me (@CJ and / or message me with a tracert to vapingunderground.com)

DickyT · Jul 22, 2015

I'm on an unthrottled 250MB (yes, big M, big B) pipe at work, so pretty sure it is not my connection. I have a 60mb connection at home, so probably not that either. My phone on LTE perhaps. When it acts up next for me I'll shoot you a tracert. It has been pretty fast this afternoon though.

Mattp169 · Jul 22, 2015

@CJ i notice it most when
1. you hove rover the flag for notifications
and
2. when you are scrolling down a page that has a long list of replies. It freezes about 2/3rds of the way down

I've been on oc48 lines at a data center and still had intermittent issues occurring with some outside services, so keep in mind it might not be at your location but perhaps a drop down the line or a hop here or there.

While this is true, it would only make sense if it was a group of users who happen to in the same line. It seems to me its wide spread and sporadic. Which while it may be something down the line, it could still be something on the server itself or something in the software itself.

Especially when hovering over the flag and scrolling long pages

Damn those hops too...

It is fast currently and I am pinging 9ms right now too.

Nailz · Jul 22, 2015

I thought it was just me, but yes I started having problems with freezing and site being slow yesterday afternoon after work, seems it's worst when check notifications, everything just freezes and have to refresh the site.

StanM · Jul 22, 2015

Happening here also. The last couple days have been harsh. It's definitely the website itself. Everything else is running with no issues for me, just VU

DickyT · Jul 22, 2015

It is exceptionally bad right now, 20-30 second delays on page loads, and complete freeze requiring refresh if I try and click on the flag

860ms @ sbcglobal...

sev7777 · Jul 22, 2015

Confirmed here too. When i try to scroll to the top, it will freeze my browser

Huckleberried · Jul 23, 2015

For the last 2 days here.

harpo1 · Jul 23, 2015

2 daqys here as well.

nabibrian · Jul 23, 2015

2days here as well

It does that. These are complex machines that are almost as fast as the human mind. Even I slow down on occasion but not often. I asked one of the Doctors @ the University after I obtained my Masters Degree in computer science why computers work. He said, we don't really know, but it's Bitchin' !

Lefty · Jul 23, 2015

I'm getting the Firefox script warning as well. Freezing is limited to VU, no other occurrences.

Mike H. · Jul 23, 2015

Freezing up, the site does

wally · Jul 23, 2015

Yes same thing here too started yesterday. Got firefox script here so went to Explorer and still problem.

Tom950 · Jul 23, 2015

@CJ

Huckleberried · Jul 23, 2015

I'm on Chrome. So far, it's fine today.

Me to !

Manimal3497 · Jul 23, 2015

same here. Was getting it in chrome granted my chrome is out of date big time due to them not letting me update it so I tried explorer and it is doing the same thing.

wally · Jul 23, 2015

Yea it is for sure this site i have had o problems with others including facebook. Seems like it is getting worse.

StanM · Jul 23, 2015

Please fix this problem, it's getting worse

harpo1 · Jul 23, 2015

It's worst today then it was yesterday.

wally · Jul 23, 2015

It is so bad now not so sure I will be able to finish this.

Huckleberried · Jul 23, 2015

I do know that admin is aware at this point.

Whiskey · Jul 24, 2015

Hypothetical......I wonder if this thread could be causing the forum freezes

I'd put money on it

1 thread shouldn't make the whole site freeze up though, could understand if your opening that thread, but if you're checking notifications for example, then that thread is not loading and should make no difference, unless the server is being overloaded of course, which means joe needs to buy a bigger one

That one didn't give me any issues.

wally · Jul 24, 2015

I haven't any issues today so maybe so maybe there has been some clean up. Servers sometimes slow down when one or two fans go bad causing them to heat up, easy fix though.

Whiskey · Jul 24, 2015

I guess I am wrong then, I just went to that particular one and was froze up so bad I shut down to unfreeze....LOL

Mattp169 · Jul 24, 2015

ok i give up. Apparent @CJ has had a few days off since he didn't bother to respond to the issue. The forum is unusable to me at the moment. I will check back in a few days. But if someone can't bother to update us that they are working on it, then Im gone. @CJ said he couldnt replicate the issue then blame sit on the rest of the internet causing the problem.

Joe makes a crap load of money off this site with the advertising. He could at least keep the users and teh people who pay for advertising updated on this. I can't even get through a thread to the first unread message without waiting 3 minutes. trying to scroll through the new posts list to see hwats new is impossible

I can understand having issues, but tell us something

UncleRJ · Jul 24, 2015

While I am not the VU IT specialist, I can tell you that the Admins and Mods are talking behind the scenes about this right now.

Its not like we are ignoring the issue just that we have NOTHING AT ALL to share with you at the moment.

Once we do have something and better yet have it fixed, we will let you all know what is going on!
