Anybody else having slow page loading from the forum here at present? I've been noticing it all day today, it's still happening for me, and it's only happening if I use the PCPP themes for the forum.

Use the default vBulletin theme and browsing the forum is fine. It flies. Use the PCPP theme and it's unbearably slow for me. Use the PCPP News theme and it's impossibly slow for me. Happens the same irrespective of whether I access the forum using its url or access it using its IP address. Main index page usually loads reasonably quick, but section indexes or topics take forever to load.

The forum has been occasionally slow to me, though for the most part it has been fine.

Still happening for me, if I switch to a PCPP theme for the forum. default vBulletin forum and the same pages load almost instantly.


Glad to hear it's not just me. I'm interested to hear if others experiencing slowness get the same 'themes' behaviour.

Vbulletin theme is super quick. Quick as balls, in fact.

PCPP Theme and it seems to be running fine for me.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Will try the VB theme tonight. I've been having random "drop outs" for lack of a better word. Forum pages just stop loading, a refresh or two or changing to the IP fixes it. Not having the same problems on other websites.

That suggests it's a problem with the ad provider service then.

Yep it seems slow here too. Quite weirdly slow though, in that the forums' page shows as quickly as usual, but the google chrome spinny (to let you know your waiting) keeps spinning, and then when it's finished spinning the page refreshes and moves from where I had scrolled to back to the top.
