I guess ignorance is bliss!!! I'm running Vista and can't recall any problems with this forum. Works fast for me and I'm on DSL with Qwest. I'm on/off at all times of day. I would guess problems are different areas or ISP.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!!!

I agree with you, Bromley.
I relocated to my winter digs in AZ last week and RV.net is by FAR the slowest website I visit and that includes super secure banking, investing, and all other financial sites that I frequent.
I only have dialup capability here and apparently the slowness is only exibited for those of us who must use dialup.
There has to be more than just the two or three of us who are affected but probably not enough for the powers to worry about.
I'll keep checking every few days but the site is unusable for me until it is fixed.

We are truly sorry that some members have trouble with the forum loading too slow. When members make such reports, it is forwarded to our contact with the technicians. However, it is hard to fix a problem that they can't duplicate. I might also add, the forum does not have any programmers of its own. Problem are dealt with by AGI programmers, when their time allows.

Thanks for the reply, Tom
I have tried to access RV.net through Good Sam, Trailer Life, and Woodalls and have also tried IE7, Firefox, and Google Chrome browsers. The results are the same.....unbelievably slow loading.
I still think the problem only manifests itself to those of us using dialup. Sadly, that is the only option I have available but it has worked acceptably for me for the past eight winters...even for RV.net. Something is different this year.

Thank you for your input, I know there must be a lot of people who have given up on this site,I know a few in Mexico. I don't have dailup I have basically a T1 connection. I am a ccertified computer technician and I know there is nothing wrong with my computer. I have no problemson any other site other than RV.net. I use to use this site in Canada on a 5MB high speed service and there still was a lag. The point I think is it should be quich enough for dail-up as that is the speed many of us RVers use.
Happy Camping

Sorry about the spelling on my last post I should proof read. Just in case anyone is interested my last post took 3 minutes to upload.

"I still think the problem only manifests itself to those of us using dialup."
I have a 768 kbps DSL Verizon connection and RV.net is the only site I have problems loading pages. For the record, I host a community website with a message board similar to this one, and we are big on posting many pictures and don't have any problems. I think the problem is that RV.net is just probably not renting enough server space to handle the traffic.

Maybe they should have a list we can subscribe to, so when they fix the problem they can email us to let us know we can use the site again.

Read initially via portal rv.net and now posting via portal woodalls.
Had to allow cookies and scripts for woodalls, as rv.net's didn't cut the mustard...
Back to rv.net when Woodalls started to load up popups and ads. Posting
this via woodalls checking to see if slower or not.
Think it is a timing thing (hand shake) between your computer and the
various servers at the portal and at the forum's server.
The header and foot note specific to the portal, as are the advertisements
displayed.
So there are hand shakes between your computer, the portal servers
and the forum servers, is my guess. Hand shake needed 'cuz ads for
the various portals may not be universal, so specific to one portal.
The servers needs to know which portal you came in from so it can
display the proper ad and get credit for that.
If a hand shake is missed (timed out or mis timed), it has to wait for
the next cycle.
Another guess is that if it misses for whatever reason and goes into
the queue, it is longer or lower priority vs a new request.
So I hit the refresh, or which ever button (send, post, etc) again and
again to get a 'new' request, therefore a higher priority with their
CPUs.
I too notice this when using my laptop and dial up. Learned that hitting
the button often gets its attention faster.
Just my opinion/guesses.

BenK,
I think you may be right-on. In several of these threads, I have posted the observation that on occasion, I have a page appear to "hang." When that happens, I hit my browser's Stop button and then the Refresh button and the page loads normailly.
