+The Growler Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Why does the website freeze on me all the time and why can't I upload new caches to the site. Always times out!!!! My broadband connection is OK for other sites btw. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) If you are using IE 6, upgrade, or change to Firefox, Chrome, or some other decent browser. Changes were recently made to the website that don't play well with IE 6. Edited January 19, 2010 by briansnat Quote Link to comment

Changes were recently made to the website that don't play well with IE 6. Actually I use FF. Always seems to be a very slow site anyway, but now it just time's out when you try to log a cache!

+debaere Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 This happens to me from time to time. The site seems fast, then suddenly seems to hang for a long time (wait for minutes - sometimes I'm forced to reload pages). Then it will be fast for a while. This happens from a variety of browsers (Mainly Firefox and Chrome), a variety of OSs (MacOS X, Linux), and many different ISPs. I can only conclude that its the website itself that has issues - probably issues handling traffic (my experience at website administrating tells me that the situation is not helped by them running Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.0 I am sure- thats just a guess tho so I could be completely wrong. - not trying to start an OS flame war) Anyhoo. If it is occasionally slow it may be the above reasons. If it NEVER works (which it sounds like is happening) then it could be several things, some easier to troubleshoot that others. The quickest thing to check is to clear your browser cache. In Firefox its typically under preferences somewhere. You could also try using another browser (IE in Windows, Safari on Mac, dozens of choices if you use Linux). Any other troubleshooting would require knowing which OS you use, and the specific version of Firefox you are running. Quote Link to comment
+jeffbouldin Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Since you are running Firefox are you running and Greasemonkey scripts? Try disabling these since the recent site upgrade broke some of them. Some have been fixed but if you have some that aren't it could be the problem. Quote Link to comment
