Johnny dB Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I'm at work now using a dial-up connection and I can scroll alot faster now than when I'm at home using a cable connection. Frustrating as hell! Also when loading some pics it would give me an AS error... session timed-out or something to that effect. It's only the Klipsch Forum I'm having this problem with. Other sites are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelShaffer Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Not with the forums, but that damn java menu on the front page. The boxes all load wrong. I'm using N7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Ha ha, Netscape is your problem. IE works great. Peace, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkrop Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yeah but I would have to spend half my time downloading virus patches and security updates if I used IE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I don't mind saying that this is the worst site I know of for connectivity and performance. I have a fast broadband connection and I constantly get slow page loads, long dead air delays, time-outs, "document contained no data", it's terrible. I've come to a point where I'm avoiding the site because of it. I'm a server/network admin on my day job and can do minor troubleshooting even over the internet. For instance, if I open a command window and do a ping -t forums.klipsch.com, I get replies from the server while the web pages are timing out. This implies issues within the web server software, not an internet connectivity problem. It's been like this ever since they "upgraded" to the current forum software. The actual forum DB seems to running off a MS Access DB, this is probably the underlying problem. Access was and is a POS. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I also have cable internet and this is by far the slowest site (most of the time). Unfortunately, it's also the site I'm on the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I use Opera along with IE. The newer versions are pretty stable and much faster, faster even than IE. Plus I can turn off the pop ups, like Netscape. Tom, It uses MS SQL server which is only marginally better than Access. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I have broadband over fibre. No problems here. I am in California. I am using IE 6. Updates aren't a problem. I am used to updating software on a reasonable basis. At least Microsoft finds and fixes the problems. However I usually do not upgrade to a new Microsoft product until it has gotten past service pack 1. Service pack 1 seems to be all the things they knew were wrong before they released the product. Service pack 2 seems to be the real problems found in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I have comcast broadband and very rarely ever have a problem. Hence my answering machine status LOL !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Well I figured out the problem. Pop-up Blocker from Earthlink bogs this site down for me. When disabled, it scrolls fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
