Thread: page loading errors

Kane, I'm not sure whether this is related the networking issues you mentioned or is a server problem, so I'll post again to be sure. I've had a persistant problem all day loading any page on this site. No matter which browser (Opera, Firefox, IE) or connection (home or elsewhere) it loads around 50kb, give or take a few k, before stopping. This the first time since early this morning I've managed to get into a forum.

There have been no problems at all today. Do you mean yesterday or the day before?

Strange... I had this problem today - even now, briefly. Some of us are/were having a conversation about this in the site reform thread in Feedback. I know I've been having this problem for days, and it was better today, but it was still happening to some extent.

It took me several tries to even get into this thread just now...T__T

I'm fine until I log in, and then I'm lucky if I can load anything. I usually get about half of the manga links, then some broken HTML as text. Is it possible this is a problem on our end, Kane?

Are things ok when you try to load http://dirtproxy.com/?q=c3RvcHRhem1v...&hl=0001001000

That page works fine for me, but the site is working now, too (has been working fairly well for most of today, if not all).

Edit: Well, forget that - it wouldn't load three times right after I posted this. That site worked, though - but I wasn't logged in, just as Kaom said it worked when she wasn't logged in.

That page doesn't seem to let you log in. It worked for me, though.

Then again, ST is also working right now. But it wasn't five minutes ago, so I don't know. :/

Edit - Scratch that. Like DE, right after I posted I started having problems again. That link still works.

Kane -- I meant today. Just no1w, I was able to load the first three threads I read, but then it took eleven reloads to get this thread to load past the first 49kb. The dirtproxy link worked directly.

We'll see what happens when I try reloading this thread after I post this.

ETA: I had to reload this thread once to open it again. Dirtproxy worked again without hitch.

ETA2: After a good five minutes, started having problems again. Took three tries to get this page to load.

I'm starting to suspect that we're having problems at different times - as I mentioned earlier, I was talking on IRC to people who were having no problem with the site while I was having trouble - even though they had problems at a different time. Perhaps it isn't a basic problem with the site, but how it's affecting our computers? That's the only thing I can think of... since these problems aren't affecting everyone at the same time, like a general database error would. Is there just a lot of traffic, maybe, and we choose to load the page at a bad time?

V. odd, that. Also, different people seem to be getting their page cut off at slightly different places -- some at titles in the Ls, some in the Ps.

BTW, I've had the problem even when not logged in, as well. So it's not just logging in that prompts it. Switching browsers seems to have no effect, though I've not be systematic about testing that.
