Has anyone else noticed that the site loading speed has decreased greatly in the last couple of days. It takes like forever for me to load the frontpage and when I enter an artist profile the problem is the same. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

It's not unbearable for me, but now that you mention it it does seem a bit slower than normal. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

It�s not the forum part of the site. That part works fine, but it�s the main part of the site that seems to be suffereing some loading problems. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I also have quite some trouble loading regular album pages. The cover artwork appears but it takes around 25 sec. before the rest of the info (tracklists and so forth) appears.

Yeah, but when does it?  Erm, I'm not having any problems. ProgArchives is the one that always goes slow for me, but this site seems fine. |

I�ve just checked my internet connection and it�s fine. 4 down and 4 up like always, so it�s not a speed thing on my side.

It also has an effect when I�m trying to edit a review I�ve posted. When I push the "Edit Review" button it takes about a minute before the stars appear and if I press save before the stars appear I get the Generic error page. If I wait until the stars appear and press save it works . ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Well it�s odd because I used my work computer (and that IP adress) today and we have Internet Explorer 9 there too and I didn�t experience any problems but as soon as I got home on my own computer things were slow again. I guess that rules out that it�s a browser problem. None of the other sites I�ve visited on my own computer has loaded slowlier than they usually do though. At least not in a way that has made me notice it. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

You could try cleaning up your Temps and stuff to see if it fixes it.

I�ve tried Google Chrome just to rule out the browser issue and it turns out it�s just as slow on Google Chrome as it is on Internet Explorer, so definitely not a browser issue. Is it simply because 4 MB down is not enough to use MMA without considerable loading time? The funny thing is that it�s only been like this for the last couple of weeks.
...oh and I�ve tested my internet connection speed and there is hole through for all 4 MB. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Ok, then it must be a script or an Ad that is screwing the speed. Or at least the equivalent. If it is only MMA that you have the problem it must be site related. Do you use an Ad blocker or similar? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

You have to add it to your browser, I'm not certain there is one with IE. You can use Ad Blocker with Chrome and Firefox. Give me a few mins to d/l and check. You already have installed Chrome separately, right? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

Ok open the Chrome Browser Go to the spanner in the top right hand corner, open menu and click options. Goto extensions and click the hyperlink "Get more extensions" Type Ad Block in the search box and hit enter. The program should be at the top of the page with a box asking you to "Add to Chrome" When asked in a separate window, install. Ignore everything elae and try the site. Refresh a couple of times to drop the temps and cookies , come out and go back in and see how it performs.

To get a better idea of why it is so annoying this is how an album page looks for about 25 seconds before anything but what is in the printscreen here shows: damn it how do I get a printscreen to show in this box?
