I was on page 9 of 21 when everything came to a standstill for about 3 min. I checked my connection and there was nothing wrong with it. Then i continues on. Clickin on threads then click the back button, huge lag once again. Took another 2min or so till WHT finally responded. Finally when i got to page 18 and clicked on 19 it told me No search options left or something like that.

This has been happening for the past few days.

I haven't noticed anything like that.

Thread moved :)

Sometimes searching takes forever! Otherwise WHT is fast for me :)

No search options left or something like that.Search results last for two hours. If it takes longer than two hours, the results expire and you'll need to start again. :)

WHT is loading very slowly on my end as well. Sometimes it is so slow that I just close my browser and do my other things.

All seems to be fine here. It could just be a normal ISP lag which most ISP's have its very common. If that aint the case run a spyware scan or a virus scan. Their the only other things i can think of.

Just earlier I couldn't load WHT and using two different connections. (in Sweden)

I haven't noticed anything like that.Thankfully everything is fine here also :)

WHT is loading fast for me today...I am suffering from slowness for at least a week already :D

Today the site is loading just fine :)

WHT load fine for me. When did you experience the problem?

Some 12 hours ago, if I remember correctly. It wouldn't load from 2 connections over here in .se

Some 12 hours ago ...Yeah. There was an issue that lasted roughly 30 minutes then.

What was the cause? I couldn't do a traceroute, got stuck somewhere at Rackspace.

Yeh, I had some lag the other day.

Most of the time the website is fine though.

Searching is slowwwwwwwwwww today :(

My searches aren't slow at the moment at least :)

Had issue with WHT late last night was very slow to load, all other sites were fine.

Still issues all over the place. Slow or unreponsivie searches, moving from page to page etc.

I'm finding it quite snappy today and search working virtually instantaneously

Searches aren't working at all. :(

It works but it is slow on my end (the searches that is).

Search works for me and yes, it is slower than what i expect.

All is well for me and the site seems faster than usual but maybe that part is just me. ;)

WHT is often very slow for me. It will just die out for short periods on both of my main connections.

Search function is not working for me either.

I was having the same problems for about the last week. Finally got to the point where I used certain options in FF to disable the displaying of all Advertising.

All is well once again.

Did WHT just go down for almost an hour?

That was a long lag :P

That was a long lag :P

I nearly died from that lag :(

Some of us fathers need some quiet time. :blush:

Not until you finish your crash report.

I nearly died from that lag :(

There, there :love: :P

Anyone looked into this problem? The search hardly ever works and if it does it takes awful amount of time before anything shows.

I just did a search and the results show up almost instantly in my browser.

It has it's moments. Sometimes fast. Sometimes slow. I'm sure Mat will update us Monday.

WHT is lagging for me today.

And the lagging continues, its keep going and going and going.

Its very obvious that WHT can not handle the constant demand of online users not to mention the searches and queries.

This problem has been going on for weeks and weeks. Type something into the search box and you wont get a response. Youll end up selecting another option to override your search. Try clicking on New Threads for today then start moving forward though the pages. Sooner or later you will get stuck on a page that will refuse to load, in my case at page 3 everything came to a screaching halt. I have to go back to the index and reselect Threads for today and then got stuck at page 4 and could not longer read the rest of the threads.

and its not my connection.

Its also very obvious why;

Currently Active Users (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/online.php?): 983 (221 members and 762 guests)

762 guest? Try banning bots. There are more bot on this site than real people. Granted some of those are really guests but ill bet that 90% are nothing but bots.
Ill give it the benefit of the doubt. Lets say 300 real users including some of the guest list. Thats 600 bots that need to go bye bye or this issue will never end.

Can't be too obvious.

We keep posting about it.







:wht:

I'd just like to chime in that the search function (unless the results are cached I'd imagine) just hangs for the most part. It's been like this for a while. I've just tried searching for the word "windows" in the VPS forum and just gave up after the fourth time. The search function is like this for any other less-popular search word.
