Okay, I know there's another similar thread, but I feel like I have to open a new one.
I'd dare to say that since ever the site has been really slow. Whenever you open a new tab and you try to scroll it just hangs and lags like no tomorrow. Even when you're typing to write the site hangs, it takes a heck of a lot for the characters to show up on the box, I feel like it's 1998 and I'm on my old windows 98 computer with 32mb of ram. In fact I'm typing all this through notepad because the site is so slow I can't stand it (maybe I'm being dramatic).
I don't think it's the ads, I mean it cannot be. There's just one ad at the top and there's no way that it could cause such a severe performance loss on the page. It's not even gifs or images in threads, since this also happens when you try to write a completely new thread.
You can even see the little "loading" symbol on the tab you're in every few seconds, like the site is constantly trying to load something. This doesn't happen on regular websites.
Could it be Google chrome not liking the site? can't really say, never tried to open the forums on a different browser. Maybe some Firefox user could dissipate doubts.
Some days are worse than others, but as a general rule it's always very slow comparing to anything else.

I use Crome and find no issues. Are there desktop / online tools that help identify reasons?

Honestly I only have issues with this site. And I know I'm not the only one because a similar thread was open a few months back.

Yeah, I'm on Firefox on both PC and Mac and the site can be very slow at times (and I have ridiculously fast internet). Even typing in text fields here can be slow...
Not to mention I've noticed the boards go down every now and again recently too.

I use chrome on my work laptop, edge (don't judge me, I'm old) on my gaming PC and safari on the iPad. The only one that ever seems slow to me is the iPad, but I just put that down to the lower processing power and the fact that it is wireless (and crappy wireless at that).
I work from home, so all the above are on the same connection.

Just tried opening and viewing (not posting) in a few threads with firefox and opera. Looked in the meme/gif thread, which I figured would slow it up if anything would - still seems pretty good.

On the support board, I've read they've done some work today to resolve the issue. For me, it seems to be working "normally" right now.
If you find times that the board is grinding to a near or complete halt, could I get you to post those times here.
Thanks!

I've actually never experienced any of these issues. I'm on latest Chrome (also tried on Firefox and Edge)....no issues. And usually I have PLENTY issues with sites.

I haven't noticed any issues myself eithger. Other than a few times when the forum crashed completely but it came back just as quickly. I blame ᵉˣ ᵈᵉˢᶦᵍⁿᵉʳ howyummy for those.. Ok, when I say howyummy, I mean proboards

Ok NOW I'm getting issues. Thread contents are justified to the far right and some stuff looks squished. Also, shoutbox isn't working.

I've been having difficulty signing in and staying logged on, I'm just not sure if it's the site or the computer I'm using...It could even be the modem I guess. When ever I go to post, I get the message 'cannont connect to the internet'...not sure what's up.
