    Maybe someone has already posted about this before, so sorry if this is a repost. For me, surfing within CP gets painful more and more. Switching between message boards sometimes needs 2 or 3 attempts until it works, replies to posts sometimes get to the wrong recipients. Also the chance that you can actually submit a post on the first try gets worse. And no, it's not my hardware that has troubles. Any other sites I visit work fine. I hope that I'm not the only one having those problems. For me it seems that things got worse when the CP servers were moved to a new location. Are there any CPians that think the same ? Marius

      It's been working great the last few days. There was an initial hiccup, but smooth sailing since then for me. Even posting replies works now. (But I still do a copy before hitting the Post Message button. One habit that will never die). Marc

        I don't care, it works 99.99% of the time, it's free, it's a great community, and a great help in my work. so I give some slack to CP when it does not work "as expected".

            Of course you are right ! If it weren't such a great site where I spend some time nearly every day, it wouldn't bother me. (Of course these hickups won't drive me away anyway. :-) ) It's just that I think that it got worse lately. When I came here a few months ago,I didn't experience any problems at all. Marius

                A rarely have issues. Maybe 1 in 30 posts act flakey and every 10-14 days I have trouble surfing through the forums. I usually take that as a sign that i probably have something more productive to do anyway and close my browser (briefly).

                    I see that issue a lot sometimes I believe it is my broadband connection being not so broad momentarily. Sometimes it does seem to a problem here or at the least in between me and here. It is not constant so I hadn't bothered to complain about it as the CP is free.

                      I've seen issues with firefox on this site and some others, if I use IE I don't have the issues....generally what I'll do in FF is restart it and it clears up for a few days.

                          True. A big site with over 3 million users can drag sometimes. CP is running great considering the massive amount of visits and posts it has a day.

                              Granted there is over 3 million users, but I've never seen more than 12,000 tops logged in at any given time. So, the number of users registered to the site shouldn't slow it down :rolleyes:

                                  The behavior is at least consistent. I've learned when I need to retry, when not to retry to avoid a double-post, etc. I'm just bummed that the deleted top-level post "feature" was removed! ;)

                                    Maybe someone has already posted about this before, so sorry if this is a repost. For me, surfing within CP gets painful more and more. Switching between message boards sometimes needs 2 or 3 attempts until it works, replies to posts sometimes get to the wrong recipients. Also the chance that you can actually submit a post on the first try gets worse. And no, it's not my hardware that has troubles. Any other sites I visit work fine. I hope that I'm not the only one having those problems. For me it seems that things got worse when the CP servers were moved to a new location. Are there any CPians that think the same ? Marius

                                    I don't have the posting problems. However, I have to click two or three times *every time* I want to go to the next page in any of the forums.

                                      CodeProject is running fine for me. Are you sure it's not just your ISP that's slow?

                                      I'm rather sure. A few minutes ago I finished a 600MB download where the speed never dropped below 400KB/s. This is a normal speed with my ISP. I'm starting to worry that IE7 might cause problems with CP ? :suss: Marius

                                        For me it's approx. 50% when I go to the next page. Do you use IE7 ? (I do.) Marius

                                          I have IE7 installed but I mostly use FF2.
