why is the site crashing so much?
 

The last 30 min or so the site wont load for me. Periodically throughout the day time to time it'll slow down or not load at all. Im using firefox 10,ive tried opera,chrome etc. nothing is different. Been doing this for some time now.

yup im having the same problem.

Same here... I thought i was alone in this lol

yeah me too...i thought it was firefox...switched to chrome...no big diff.
even on my android i have been having issues too.....

plz dont take away my mental crack!!!

This site is litterally the 1st thing i open up in the morning.

Sad...so...sad...

haha i agree with all the above posts .. Ive been having this too

Since this thread started I have been trying to see if I can duplicate what you guys are seeing... I have been unsuccessful. Using FF, IE, and Chrome all results in similar load times and I haven't noticed any lock ups. Every once in awhile there would be a rather lengthy load, but the same thing has been happening on our corporate intranet so...

I'll submit a ticket and see if IB has any explanation for what you guys are going through. Hopefully they have had reports from other sites as well and have a fix in mind. Or at least that they can reproduce the problem...

As of now everything is working great. The site was locked down for about 30 min around 6pm est.

Me and a few others have issues throughtout the day sometimes. The site doesnt really freeze during those points,but it turns into a dailup type connection. sometimes it takes 30 seconds for a page to load.

more then 30 seconds

well thanks for submitting a ticket

I'm not getting anything you guys are describing. It loads fine on firefox, ie, chrome, opera, w/e.

The only thing I get from time to time is the site getting caught up for 10 or 20 seconds then it loads fine.

I wonder if blazerforum has a low network traffic cap or not.

It also doesn't help when people click a button on the site over and over to "try to make it load faster." It doesn't really do anything besides send another request to blazerforum prolonging the response from blazerforum usually too. One click is enough. (More than 1 click gives people double posts too)
