    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

      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.

            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

            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.

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

                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".

                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.

                  :confused: I haven't had any trouble. Just a hiccup or two over the weekend, nothing out of the ordinary :)

                    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:

                      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

                        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! ;)

                          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.

                            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
