Issue: EXTREME slowness on PC!!!

[Moltres Rider]

PC has been running VERY slow yesterday and today... it is comparable to dial-up... wait, dial-up is faster than what PC is loading!!! the last couple of days, PC has been running SO SLOW you would think I'm having internet connectivity issues, but I'm not... please tell me what is going on an fix this extreme slowness issue!!!!

 

[Oryx]

It happens. It's been on and off for me for the past couple hours, but it was fine almost all of today and yesterday so I don't think it's the site. Even when the site itself is slow, it has to do with how many people are on and the stress on the server which means unless you're planning on paying for the new server, we'll all just have to deal with slowness sometimes. :(

 

[Rukario]

I've not seen any issues from the server's end.. everything has been running normally.

I'd like to see a tracert to pc when you are having issues, if at all possible.

what is a tracert? I'm lost... and so is Firefox spell checker...

I've noticed PC being a bit slow at random times. But right now, it's going smooth~

its a way to trace the connection from you to the server.
In windows start > run (win7 search:) > cmd.exe >> tracert www.pokecommunity.com

In MacOS or linux, open up a terminal app and type in traceroute www.pokecommunity.com

copy / paste the results into your reply

Is this the sort of result you were expecting?

I had trouble figuring out how to copy and paste from command prompt.... had to Google a few things... here is the result

wow that's messed up.. how are you getting here if you can't even connect?

 

[Moltres Rider]

IDK.... the tracert results is a foreign language to me...

 

[Zeroblivion]

This problem didn't happen to me. It was pretty running normally, everything is just fine.
Woah, that came from the command prompt. Well, this is just kinda messed up.

looks like routing issues.. hop 4, 5, 7, and 8 are pretty bad.. nothing we can do here.. its something that your ISP's networking dept needs to address.

and they'll likely not bother... or even know what you're talking about if you call in to their normal support.

still, I wonder why you get such high end pings (124ish ms) from Chicago area to Houston.. Oh it's Frontier - oh well.

is it something that if I wait, it will be fixed? or am I screwed for now on?

 

[Rukario]

It may or may not be fixed.. depends on if they notice it or not.. it could also be something temporary and will go back to normal at some point.

Thing is, it is out of all of our hands, and there isn't anything any of us can do (except suffer).

 

[Lord Varion]

Pokécommunity is slow last night.
Mainly it's due to the amount of users the have on at one time.
Let's face it there is alot of users these days!

 

[Kura]

It's actually SUPER slow most of the time for me.. especially when I post. I notice it on both of my computers.. it's a bummer but it's liveable.

 

[echolocated]

PokeCommunity can become slow? That's odd. I haven't had any problems with the site.


EDIT: Not sarcasm.
EDIT: I just have a problem with posting a reply.

 

[MuffinPaula]

It happens to me but I don't mind it since my comp is very fast and it;s not like it super extra duper slow like our school computers =__=

can't tell if sarcasm.

PC has been running slowly for me for the past few days, but today it's been fine. Although 90% of the time posting a reply takes a while. Although I've learnt to deal with that. :) Maybe it's just bad internet being bad. :<

I've always had a problem with connecting to vBulletin forums in general. And I've been in lots of different places so I know it's not just a local issue... xP
