Forum takes forever to load pages

Post by Arioch »

Is any one else experiencing this problem?
I have just about given up with this forum because it is taking forever to
open a page, the page itself opens up pretty quick but the Items i.e gif images struggle.
Benji is this due to your server?

Oh well now lets see if this topic will post with out timing out....
Here goes.................................

Well, the page opens quickly on my computer too, but the gif images are a bit more slowly than they used to be. It is not really a problem for me because it only takes a second or so. But loading of the forum has definitely slowed down.

Hmm! strange! I have found out the problem, for some reason my
antivirus software no longer likes the forum. When I turn my AV off
the forum pages open up and all the GIF's load ok, although like Rijko's
the GIF's are just a touch slow.

Honey I'm home....!
Problem solved :wink: It was my antivirus for some reason it doesn't like
the icon_mini_members.gif just to the left of the Memberlist link, When trying to show the icon the page will freeze.
Now I am using a new AV and my system runs back up to speed :D
