I am experiencing problems with the forum website and taking an inordinately long time to fully display the webpage.

 

For example, the forum home page does not display at all initially even though it says it has downloaded (done)

 

In the case of the forum posting page the menu bar only arrives several seconds after the page has appeared and only then is it select and say enabled.

Pages at other website locations seem to appear normally.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it because I am so far away?

Jomark,

Occasionally this can be a problem with your ISP.  Just recently I was experiencing similar slowdowns and delays.  However, what turned out was the fact that my ISP was doing upgrading of hardware and software, while trying to minimize the impact on users Internet access.  Once they completed the process, everything was back to normal.  Currently I have no problems with the KnowBrainer website, which leads me to suspect that your problem is either a browser or ISP issue.

I doubt very seriously whether the distance as much to do with it because I get instantaneous access to both European and Pacific rim websites virtually instantaneously.

I would contact your ISP and see if there are any issues on their side first.  It could be basically any number of related issues, but I would still check with your ISP first since they would most likely no or, at least, they may understand what the problem is and where it stems from.

Since you frequent this forum, one temporary workaround might be to bookmark Todays Posts and Yesterday's Posts. We never even go to the forum homepage anymore. Additionally, if you want to avoid the Previous and Next buttons, adding the following Advanced-Scripting command, to DNS Pro, will allow you to say something like Today 3 which will take you to page 3 of today's postings.

Sub Main
            SendDragonKeys "{Alt+d}"
            Wait .5
            If ListVar1 = "one" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts"
            If ListVar1 = "two" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=2"
            If ListVar1 = "three" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=3"
            If ListVar1 = "four" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=4"
            If ListVar1 = "five" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=5"
            If ListVar1 = "six" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=6"
            If ListVar1 = "seven" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=7"
            If ListVar1 = "eight" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=8"
            If ListVar1 = "nine" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=9"
            If ListVar1 = "ten" Then SendDragonKeys "http://www.knowbrainer.com/PubForum/index.cfm?page=forumAllTodaysPosts&pageNo1=10"
            SendDragonKeys "{Enter}"
            Wait 5
            SendDragonKeys "{End}{Up}"
End Sub

Note that once you copy and paste this code into a DNS Advanced-Scripting command, the text should line up correctly and appear as follows:

Thanks Lunis but I already have this command as it was in the latest KB download.

I think there must be some problem at present with the routing along the way as the Voiceteach forum site is instantaneous (for Chucker's benefit) 

It will probably clear itself in the next few days hopefully.

It should be noted that the home page on the forums can take a while to open after you log in. The reason for this is that that there is a lot that goes on for the home page (calculations of the thread counts, starting the user session, etc.). However, the rest of the site should be pretty fast. For example, today I'm in Austin using a wireless cell modem with a poor connection and the site is still performing ok.

Just by way of an update to the problem, things have improved somewhat in that the forum topics page appears quickly although it takes almost a minute for the page selection buttons to arrive.

 

This post reply page arrived correctly without having to wait for the menu bar.

 

Perhaps the forum website has taken a disliking to me as all other websites visited do not exhibit this problem.

The Next and Previous buttons take a few seconds longer to appear for us but we're fairly certain that the problem is our 512 Mb DSL bandwidth.

I am pleased to say that everything now seems to be back to normal with the forum website
