namiboy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 i talked about this in another thread, but ever since a week or so ago, it takes about 10 minutes for geocaching.com to load on one of my laptops, gets to '1 item remaining' and sits there. when it finally loads it then takes forever if i click on 'hide and seek a cache' or 'forums'. that's a windows laptop, when i use my apple macbook pro, like now, everything is hunky dory. anyone else experiencing a slow down, or have any suggestions on what to check on my windows laptop? thanks.

+dfx Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 sounds like some part of the page (probably an external link) isn't being loaded and the browser runs into a timeout. might be because of something blocked by a firewall or maybe an anti-virus application. it's also worth trying a diff browser (firefox).

+David Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I've seen the same thing on different machines. It always happens after logging in to the site, lasts for a variable while, then the blockage goes away and it is fast again. Config is XP, using IE7 and FireFox, no greasemonkey scripts installed.

namiboy Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) unfortunately it is slow on my companies laptop, so there's nothing i can do. it used to work fine on there until recently. every other website is fine on there, so i know it is something with geocaching.com. i wish someone from there would respond and and let me know what changes they made to the website, then maybe i could work around it. i also just noticed that i didn't receive notification that someone found one of my caches.

namiboy Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 will there be any help of any kind from the powers that be so i can solve this problem? what could have been changed on geocaching.com that could make it unbelievably slow to load on a windows laptop running ie7. every single other website loads perfectly fine on there, just as usual. thanks. i probably have to do something on my computer, but i need to know what has been done to cause it first.

+Yossarian Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Have you tried clearing IE's cache? (Tools/Delete Browsing History/delete Temporary Internet Files) Edited August 13, 2010 by Yossarian Link to comment
+EVIL Ninjection Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 There's a reason people like me LOVE macs. They never almost never have problems. As for the Windows problem I have nothing to add. Link to comment
