• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

SOH-CM-2025
Am I the only one in the USA with connectivity problems? I'm in the Kansas City suburbs. Most of the time I have to switch to an English IP addy to get good connectivity.:dizzy:
 
here at middle europe having such SOH connectivity problems relatively often, usually at morning time (a hour or two back).
 
I'm in Australia and I sometimes get "The server is too busy" message. It doesn't always happen, but at certain times it can be pretty predictable.
 
Im also in Australia and at times I need to reload pages up to 5 times before it will connect.

Is it because I use firefox?

Who's your ISP?
The only time I get less than instant connection is during maintenance (which I know about anyway) or heavy traffic periods.
The time difference between Oz and the US is often the cause of slow loading.
FWIW Firefox isn't a problem and I'm in Flinders on Bass Strait.
:encouragement:
 
Hi Wombat, I'm located in Licola on a sat connection with Telstra but I have no issues with other sites, its no biggie it doesn't take much to reload until its up, I was more concerned about firefox being the issue.

hi Manny,

I am having enormous difficulties connecting from NZ. I blame Firefox. I suspect that some lag times when connecting are outside of updated Firefox parameters.

So I am using Chrome now, much better!
 
Its strange since I changed to the fixed style from the fluid style its working perfectly the last few times Ive been here
