For the last week or so, I am having trouble loading pages in this forum.

I can almost always access the home page but when I try to enter a thread, it will take a minute or more and sometimes I just give up after a few minutes and go back to the home page. This is happening most of the time, but not all of the time. Day and night.

I have an Imac with completely updated software for 10.6.8. It is the last model, about 2 years ld. I do not have this problem at any other webpage and I'm certain that my computer, network and ISP are finne and that the problem is DP.

Any suggestions? Anyone else experiencing this?
 
this problem happens intermittently on my phone, but my guess is that it might be my phone rather than the site. when it happens, I can pull up the main page and the directories with no problem, but if I click on a thread, it takes a long time. it almost never happens anymore, but it did happen today between 8:00 - 8:30 am.
 
Yesterday I had loading problems. Several times I got a warning saying that a script was the culprit and asking if I wanted to stop running the script. When I said yes, everything went back to normal. Until I tried to load another thread. Didn't happen in the Basement, just upstairs.

Just got here today, so don't know if it's still happening, but this thread came up fine.
 
Yeah, it's still happening upstairs. The page takes forever to load, then a popup tells me if I don't stop running a script, my computer may freeze. :(

What browser and version are you running? What DP style are you using (lower left-hand corner of the screen)?

This has happened to me several times in the last two weeks too. I had to keep logging off and logging back on, and that would only fix the problem temporarily. No problems today for me so far though. The site seems to be running great for me today.
 
I have the problem intermittently almost every day. Working fine at this moment.

DP three dot oh


This just started yesterday evening. I'm hoping it's just another burp. DP loading times vary, sometimes excellent, sometimes molassas... but this Stop Running This Script? popup is new!

Try updating to the latest version (10.0 is the latest) or try a different browser (FireFox or Chrome for example). I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago in FireFox (I have since updated to the latest version and have had no problems) and when I pulled up DP in Chrome, I have no problems at all.

I currently use FireFox (version 18.0) and haven't had a problem all day.
 
Now pages are loading a little slow for me. Not too bad though . . . yet anyway.
 
Still having some problems. I just cleaned a bunch of stuff. See how that goes.
 
I'm 99.999% sure the problem is with the DP server. My computer is incredibly over-powered, I keep my files clean and I can load any page on the net in the blink of an eye but for weeks now, DP is hit and miss. Even today I had problems and once had to give up, close my browser and try again.
 
We are taking a closer look at this to see if it's a server issue.
 
It has to be this site, because most of the time I can get on and off and navigate other websites without problems.
