Funny enough, if you had search, you could look for how many times people have said "this place is as slow as shit" or similar. Then again, you could just google it:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...ow&btnG=Search
Remember too, your browser has a "find" feature on it that will let you check the current page thread titles. Then again, someone experienced on the internet would know these things, right Jim? |
A one page at a time CTRL-F "find" function in your local browser is very limited feature that does not approach anywhere near the utility of a real board search function.
A know that a lot of people have said that the forum is slow at times. I believe them that the pages time out for them. It has happened to me once in a while. But it does not impact the usefulness of the board most days and most times for myself and many others. GFY is pretty responsive for me most of the time and rarely times out considering how big the forum is and how many users there are.
If it times out for you and not for others on a regular basis that means by definition that the problem is on your end, despite your ping test. I imagine that it is frustrating, but there is probably a way to fix it to improve your browser's performance. We still need a search function though!
