Vrai!!

After seeing some postings on the internet.. and talking to my Supposed better half, there seems to be a problem with NMCI. I remember when I first got my NMCI computer I couldn't log onto the forums, and someone made a change to the server and all worked well. Did we just change servers recently and the change needed not implemented? Or did someone out the fourms to NMCI??

I'm not sure what this "supposed" crap is about, since I have no problem admitting that I'm the "better half". But I can tell you all with gutwrenching certainty: NMCI effin sucks. Almost all other pages accessed via NMCI comes up with no problem, but some - including SoMD.com - comes up unbearably slow, if at all. The site doesn't load completely, responding to posts is painful, and the frustration is ticking me off.

Dang, those NMCI folks must expect me to actually do some work while I'm at the office.

My observations are that it is the waiting for the ads data to load that causes the timeout. And it's getting worse.

I was just playing around with Netscape and it won't load the forums at all. It's errors out when trying to connect to "http://ads.somd.com/adx.js" so that may be a big part of the problem.

I noticed there are certain forums I don't have any problems loading, like the personal ones, and then have a devil of a time with the "News & Current Events" one. :shrug:

I couldn't get crap from here to load at work today. Click a link, go walk around the building, smoke one, come back about the time the timeout page would pop up. Any other site I went to was fine.

Jazz, BTW did you find the Netscape 7.0 under the program list?

It's working somewhat this morning. Only have to hit refresh once or twice to get a page to load. I'm getting place holders (little white boxes with red X's) under some peoples avatars for instant messanger. It's causing the thread to be offset for those using it. itsbob has both yahoo and IM where as some others only have IM so they aren't skewed so much. Is this something new? Never noticed it before.

What TC said. I can actually reply to threads now using the WYSIWYG editor rather than the 'quick reply' link and things are loading marginally faster. We'll see how long this lasts.

Late afternoon(2:00-3:30) I was able to navigate fairly easily. Most threads came up with little problem but still very slow. Posting was another matter, took me ½ hour trying to get a post up for hollowsoul. Hope something changed and it's getting better
