My Problem

Ron61 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008, 04:27 AM

I am going to try to figure out a way to make what is happening tome show up so I can get a line on what causes it. My computers worked the best and fastest they ever have when Brent first turned the new servers on. Then he put the Nav Bar in and took it out. Since then I have had nothing but problems and have tried all of CWs suggestions plus I have used 3 different computers and different browsers. Many times I can't even access the site and when I can some of the time I can't open a post or if I can open one, when I start to answer it I get the problem. It will start the green status bars across the bottom and on ones that are going to work, they are slow and will pause and then go in. On the ones that don't work they will go up to about three bars very slowly and then just stop. I have let them set for 8 minutes via my stop watch and I get no time outs, no error messages or anything. It is just as if they have gone out into limbo and are lost. Same when I try to access the site and can't. But I can return to my home page and go to any other site with no problem at all. Since no one else is having any problem it must be me but I need help to figure this out as I have tried every test and thing that I know of to my computers. And what would affect only this one site and that after the Nav Bar thing? I am going to be making more posts in this section and trying to force the problem to see if I can come up with anything.

Trying Quick Reply This time. The first post went in very slowly and I thought was not going to go in.

Ok that worked about the same. Started, had a pause and then went in ok. Now on this one I am going to use extra smiles, do an edit, and see what happens.

Worked same on regular Edit. I am now using the Advanced Edit and will see if that has anything to do with it. I have already eliminated load on the site as it fails when there are few on and works when there are many on. It just is so darn intermittant that I can't find any sequence to look at.

Ok that worked now I am in Advanced Edit and am going to try and attach a fileand see if that causes anything.

Ok, now I am open to suggestions to anything. I have tried to duplicate all phases of posting and yet it worked, but with that pause and as if it wasn't going to . Everything goes back to when Brent installed the Nav Bar and took it back out. Why just me and why don't I get an error message or something telling me what is going on. Is it possible that just in my registry the Nav Bar caused something that is causing the hang ups? I have tired re-initializing both my router and modem, have taken the router out of the circuit and plugged each computer into the modem directly and still have the same problem. But never with any other site and never until after the Nav Bar was installed and removed. I had a friend go in yesterday and make some posts and he has no problems at all. So it has to be my problem, but what? How could the router or modem just affect this site and no other?

If you have WinXP, do a RESTORE using a date prior to the NAV bar changes.

Warren,

I can't remember when the NaV Bar was first put in, but my restore
only goers back to earlier this month. I had one for last month but I guess it kicked it out when then year changed. I had thought about that, but hate to spend all that time updating virus and everything else from a restore if it isn't early enough to get me back past the Nav Bar thing. And what would it onlyn affect CC as I have removed every file I can find that has anything to do with CC and replaced them as the computer rebuilt them when it needed them?

Edit: One of my computers did have a restore point over a week before the Nav Bar was tried and I restored it to that time. The only thing I gained was waiting until it had updated all of the virus and other things I lost. Still the same problem with CC.Everyt other site is great.

Edit # 2: Had another idea and it didn'twork either. I cleared all restore points after setting it back to before the Nav Bar was installed and then cleared the Page File. Cleaned every file on the disk that has anything to do with the Internet and some that didn't and still have the same problem but just with CC. Other sites now work faster. Next thing to try is a gun to the head.

Time for a new computr but I don't like Vista. ????????

About 5 months ago, I was having all kinds of computer problems, including surfing the internet. Snails were beating me in races. Some days I could not access the Internet.

I was like you, pulling my hair out. I was within 1 day of doing a reinstall of WinXP. But I went and got some free or cheap programs. Error Killer, SpySweeper, Registry Booster and Bug Doctor. I cleaned up everything on the computer (old files, recent files, history, etc). Then I went thru those 3 programs, along with Spyware Doctor and AdWare. Then I did a virus check and another disk clean-up.

Did a cold reboot and did another virus check. Wala! Problem fixed, whatever it was.

Warren,

Hate to disappoint you but I have did all that about three time. The computers are very fast except on CC after that dam Nav Bar mess. Any other site and they just pop in very fast. My disks are so clean they squeak. Before the Nav. Bar was ever installed CC was the fastest it has ever been for me. And it was ok while the bar was in. It was after he removed it the the site has caused me all the grief. I still think there is some kind of piece of script in there that I get hung with as it will never time out and just sets as if it is lost. CW said he had seen it act like it was going to hang a few times almost as if when a person clicked it was lost for a few seconds, but he hasn't seen it just stop like mine does.

Ron - Warren is trying to hold your post count down!

Have you cleaned out you cookies and check Windows task manager to see what Processes are loaded,vs. how much ram you have available. It is possible that when you go to Cc something else loads and takes too much ram slowing you down. Or I have seen software (usually a virus checker) load and begin a scan when you need that processor for your program/web site. Good luck

I just reread your post..... I was probably wrong since you tried 3 machines.

If it helps I have noticed this site very slow at times.
Usually a new hot topic. And I'm working off a T1 line!
Take care,

BigGuy · #11 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008, 11:32 AM

I did some checking and some of the topics here on CC. Some are very fast to open, the worst is

Jon,

I have did everything possible to these computers except format the drives and reload them and that takes all day. Ron(CW) seems to think there is a problem at times with the CC site also. I saw someone had posted that by clicking somewhere they could still get that Nav Bar to show up and I still think it is the problem. Mine was super fast until he put that thing in and them removed it. All of my computers are still very fast on all other sites, I just have problems on this one site now. The other day I couldn't get it to post, it would start and then just stop and set like it was lost. After about 10 minutes I left and went to my home page and then to some other sites. Not back to the desktop and no cleaning of cookies, temp files or anything. I decided to give it one more try before logging off the net and it worked fine then. I know there are some unneeded things in my registry but the McAfee keeps the ones that bother anything cleaned. But they were there before we went back to the new servers and everything worked great. My computers are not slow, it is just with the CC site and they just take times they seem to get lost when I try to post or anything. No errors or blank pages, just the post and the two or three status bars below like it started to load it and then got lost.

Edit: when I hit the submit button for this post it started, then paused then went all the way and then did it all over again like it was posting froom two locations.

Ron - I just saw something odd. I received a post email for this thread, for your last post. When i went to the thread it was not there, then I checked a few other things and came back in...... there it was.

Very interesting delay?

I still can't get into Guess I won't be drinking Starbucks anymore! ! thread. I can get to page 2 and 3 not page 1.

BigGuy · #14 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008, 12:35 PM

Double post

Could not post.......... Very interesting delay?

I give UP!!!!

Jon,

I just posted a picture of what I was getting on the Uploaded New Software Thread that Brent has and it went in and shows it on page 4. But I can't get to page four. The last thing I can see is page three and Warren's last post. Something is definitely going on that is weird in the CC software and it isn't my computers or yours.
