Board is not slow, it basically won't load at all. Please fix today.

I see OOTP is now 50% off. Just curious, are the folks that buy the game half off only allowed to use the free and ad free forums every other day?

[MathBandit]

What about the people who haven't purchased the game but come to the boards in order to ask a question to inform their purchase? Do they need to put down a non-refundable deposit to cover their board usage if they don't end up purchasing the game?

Yes that money is to be sent to David Watts ......Shreveport Louisiana

[Brad K]

It might be good to list acceptable forms of payment. May I suggest...

Paypal, Zelle, checks, and money orders accepted. WARNING: Never send cash by e mail.

If they add ads, maybe the boards won't load so slowly. I would be fine with that trade off.

I live in the Midwest and play mostly late night/early morning, 1:30 to 4:30 a.m. on average.
Every night, usually from 3:00-3:30 a.m. the board slows down significantly in terms of opening the site and adding posts and images.
I always figured this was due to a daily website maintenance.
Last night was significantly slower than usual and it lasted from 3 a.m. to just after 4 a.m.

Have you tried using a different browser? I ask, because something I've seen happening more and more of late are websites that used to work in a given browser no longer working correctly.

A site used to work in Firefox (my primary browser), but then stops functioning properly. I switch to Chrome, and it won't run properly in that one either. Edge, same thing.

The only browser of late that will load websites other browsers have trouble with is Vivaldi. So far, Vivaldi hasn't been stumped.

That's a good point, and no I did not. Next time it's slow I'll see if the browser on my iphone has any issues, it's normally very fast. Thanks.

Ah, you're accessing the site from a phone? Can't speak to that, as all the web browsing I do is from a laptop computer. However, whenever I encounter a site that doesn't work properly, the first thing I try is a different browser. If the site has issues in multiple browsers, then it's likely to be a website problem.

I live in the Central time zone. I get to work at 7am. Tuesday thru today the forums have been pretty much unusable from 7am to roughly 8 or a little later.

Have you ever come across this guy?

Board loading is slow for me.

Also, there is an off topic board? Where?

You need to click User CP, then Group Memberships. You will see the Off Topic Forum available to join. After doing so, you will see it listed under Talk Sports here:



Fair warning: Although they shut down the notorious Off-Topic Debates sub-forum, which was truly Hell on Earth at times, the talk in the Off-Topic forum can still get a little rough. Needed: a tough skin and the ability and willingness to avoid unsavory topics and forum members.

Loads so fast for me am thinking lawsuit if they don't slow it down </ traditional 'works for me' forum response>

Yeah it’s loading fine again for me now. o/

[Pelican]

I was going to suggest everybody coming to Crete. Then I realized it was probably the time difference that enabled me to avoid delays. We’re seven hours ahead of US Eastern Time, so I’ve been posting in the middle of your night! Makes for some odd Zoom calls for work late in my evening here.

[Brad K]

It's loading really fast for me too. I think there might be a problem with my browser.
