Donster Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Anyone else experiencing a slowdown of downloading webpages since the 2.0.0.5 Update? I have tried IE7 and it blazes compared to Firefox since the update last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Ok IE is damn fast compared to Firefox....what gives ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 The tracking.allposters.com thing is that poster store thing at the bottom of the site. But, since no one has bothered to buy a single poster, I might as well uninstall it. As for Firefox, I never bothered to install the 2.0.0.5 update because of all the bad press it's getting. Finally, I have noticed intermittent slowdowns on this forum but I attribute that to the latest upgrade to the forum software that is requiring every site to run an update script that re-writes every single post. This site has over 100,000 individual posts and it took over 15 minutes to run the update. Since we don't have a dedicated server for this forum, every time someone else updates their forum, we take a performance hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No105_Ogdens Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I installed the update and Firefox is now running dog slow. If it wasn't for IE7 crashing at random on me I'd uninstall it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whizkid Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well doesn't that just cuff your carrot. Why, I didn't know you were a carrot-cuffer, Donnie! My, my, you can never tell just by looking at them, can you? And him so young, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donster Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Now when I do a search here in the forums, I sometimes just get a blank page as a result. If I use the back browser button then hit search again, then the search results page will appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre_USA Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've been using Firefox for a few years, right up to this moment, and have no issues like those described. My guess? PEBKAC error.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stans Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've not had any problems, I think y'all must be drinking too much... or not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donster Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ok, FireFox problems returned yesterday. I had enough so I completely un-installed it, downloaded the 2.0.0.1 version and installed it. So far so good. One more farkup and I will be downloading Opera and trying that before I give up and just use Exploder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 My FF is still at 2.0.0.5, and is mostly stable. It'll crash once in a while, but usually when I'm over-taxing it with PDFs, Java apps, and buggy Javascript code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
