Bob,
I had the timeout issue you are. One of the Mods made a change to my account and since then it has not been a problem. Also I to have experienced the page loading problem as well. For me it comes and goes. Seems that maybe this may be related to the web site traffic (peek times vs. non peak) or not.

never a timeout either. I use a old version of windows 7 and I use google chrome as my browser. never an issue.

I notice sometimes pages load slower too.

I do Linux + FF browser, but still attribute most delay to end user's ISP + hardware.

But I have seen some strange behavior which can ONLY be attributed to Z servers not sync'ed with each other.

Friday, Z-Factor's windshield thread came up in GP, but tonywy's post, which resurrected it from 2011, didn't appear on the last page, on the server I was logged onto. I clicked Back button, and you could see that tonywy HAD posted.

Click Forward, and the same display came up withOUT the post. :12 - :15 later, the post came up. Same server sync'ed, or different server, I don't know.

Some web forums' pages tell which of the site's servers that you're logged onto - forums dot techguy dot org is one of them.

Savy users can help admin ID server sync problems with that.....

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions, guys. Lee, I normally always copy it also and usually need that copy. Just doesn't seem like I should have to do that. Doesn't happen on other websites. --Bob

Later edit: PS, when I posted this reply it took about 10 seconds for the screen to come back.

If it's a Win7 or Win8 machine maybe try IE11. I believe even in Vista there might be the 'no add-ons' option for IE10.

I use Windows 7 and W Explorer 10. Version 11 seems to have some bugs in it and also does not work with some of my wife's business programs. I'll try the no add-ons. Thanks--Bob
Subsequent check: I am already running Windows Explorer 10 without add-ons.

I have seen the issues on 3 different computers, 2 different androids and 5 different Internet provider connections

Hi Jeff--I always sign out and frequently clear cookies and temp files. And I guess you are right--there are days when it works fine, but mostly slower. To my original question--did we switch servers some time ago? I now get all my email notices from Jim Voter's computer/email address for some reason. Is there some relation there? --Bob

No changes have been made to the server to my knowledge for many years. All invoices I have for the forum hosting are to the same company. They could have possibly made internal changes of which we are not aware.

Jim is co-administrator of the forum and probably changed that information in 2011. Email contact should probably be forum@zr1netregisry.com

Any idea what change the moderator made to your account? Maybe it is just a setting on my account? Thanks, Bob

PS the time lapse from hitting "Submit Reply" to getting here was 13 seconds this time.

Thanks for all the responses on this -- it is frustrating not to be able to pin down a cause for the slowness and the timeout problem. Seems that some people have experienced these issues while others have not. A dilemma, like an intermittent electrical problem. Hopefully someone will have a light bulb moment and figure something to do. --Bob

PS only six seconds this time from "Submit reply" to here.

Time out issues here as well...
