Trouble with LBT pages loading

[NimbleBean 2]

Is anyone else having trouble getting LBT pages to load? This started for me about 2 or 3 weeks ago and was just once and a while. Now it seems like everytime I click on a thread, I get the header and nothing else. The status bar says DONE and Refresh doesn't help. Generally, the only solution is to close out my LBT tab and come back in.

I am using DSL with Windows Vista and IE7, and am having absolutely no other problems with any other site. I've also cleaned my cache to see if that would help, but still no better.

Also, I have noticed that after I have done a search, looked at what I was searching for, and click back, I get back to the search results as expected, but my next click doesn't do anything. Just keeps reloading the same search results list. Again, this is not happening with any other sites. And, this seems to have started when all the changes took place on this site.

Anyone have any suggestions on solving either of these problems?

I'm having the same problem! Grrrrrrrr.

Me too. Using Windoze XP Pro, Firefox browser. It's really frustrating cause it marks the forum as "read".

I've been having the same problem. I contacted the site administrator and she suggested I delete my Cookies. Well, Cookies are deleted in my kitchen as well as my computer, and there are still many forums that I cannot get to load. I get a plain white page, not the blue gradient that I get when the load is successful.

Very annoying, any other suggestions?

I've had the same problem intermittently, and I have no idea what's causing it. In some cases I'm able to navigate to a thread by trying a different avenue (going through the forum/section page, rather than new posts, for example) or by going back later.

The owner of the site has been notified, and I'll let you know what I find out.

This site is giving me the sheisens lately. You cant edit without problems, you cant load pages, now when I post it looks as if my post hasnt appeared and then it appears suddenly half an hour later, drives me nuts.

I'm having problems as well. Overall, the site is very slow and after I post or reply, I just get a white screen. I'm getting very frustrated. The site was running much, much better when I joined in Dec and it seems ever since the recent changes were implemented, it runs very slow and has issues. I'm sure everyone is doing all they can to rectify the problem but I thought I would just add my "frustrated two cents worth".

We just moved over to a new dedicated server for LBT. We still need to tweak quite a few items on the server. Are you guys and gals still having issues right now ? Are you finding the site to be sluggish at all ?

[Jachut 487]

Yes, its quite slow for me.

Its worse than MSN and that's saying something, lol!

Alex,

I just did a test to see what is working for me and what isn't. Any thread that has more than one page of posts (I'm set at 30 posts per page), will not load. Threads with just one page of posts do load, but slower than before.

Also, regarding the recent change to the Monthly Forums (I'm in May 2007)... I can't load it, but did notice that while it lists many pages of posts, it also says there are only a small number of replies! If you have many pages, usually there are many posts!!! Did all the old posts go away when the thread was moved? (I hope not!) Or is this just some fluke? Perhaps when I can actually load the thread, it will all be clear to me.

Thanks for all your hard work.

The Reply function is also still funky. When I submit a reply, I just get a blank screen. When I check, the reply has posted, but without much backing out and refreshing, you don't know that!

This has just happened to me, too. We appreciate your efforts!

Alex,

Here's a twist... Just got an email that there was a new post on the May 2007 thread. I clicked on the link and a new window opened as usual. But, no blank screen; I could see the thread and move back and forth within the pages! Great.

But, here's the difference - when the link opened I was not signed in. Thought that might be just a fluke, so I tried to sign in to look at the same thread. Back to blank screeen. Logged out and came back in as a guest (no log in) - can see the thread just fine.

hi Alex,

thanks for all you do.

i just posted a message to road to twoterville and recd a blank screen after posting, almost like it didnt post. i verified that it did post, but it would not let me go back a page.

thanks!

Alex,

Just logged on to find everything working perfectly and much faster.

No problems getting into threads, posting works just fine, navigating forward and back is a breeze.

The only thing still causing a minor issue is trying to back out of a search. For instance, I just did a search - from the Home Page search box - for hiccups. Got my results, clicked on one, read the post and clicked back to get me back to the search results. So far, working great. But then, if I click Back again to get back to, in this case, the Home Page, I get the dialogue box that tells me I'm being redirected and then I just get the search results list again. No matter how many times I click Back, I just go nowhere (kinda like life!).

But, if that is our biggest problem, we are doing great!

Thanks so much Alex for all you do for us with this site. And to Alexandra for being such a great moderator. Hats off to you both!

Cheers,

Margaret
