nickelroadster Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Mighty slow. I can't get to it using Mozilla firefox. I have to use explorer and wait a ong time for things to happen. Anything from the website moderators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It seems a little slower to me, but not by much, maybe a 2-3 seconds, in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I am having the same problem guys. When a new forum page opens up, I have to wait a few seconds before I can get the page to scroll down. I'll pass this along.Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I find it's better to bring the site up directly from the desktop. I used to use it from the "favorites" on Internet Explorer and I wish I still could because you can travel much easier to other sites for research but it is just unresponsive. I also am having trouble when I click on a thumbnail I can't go back to the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yep, a lot slower for me too. And, my 'back' arrow will not work all the time.......not sure what is up with that, this is the only place that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 So slow i gave up trying to visit daily. It is Sunday and I have time to kill. I can barely see the avitars, is that a joke about them being too large? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 ............ I can barely see the avitars, is that a joke about them being too large? BobBob, the Avatars are larger, those running down the side, plus those in your signature tag. I do not think that is the problem though, because when I go to a thread without pictures, it still takes about 10-14 seconds for my cursor to become active again.

It is Sunday and I have time to kill. I can barely see the avitars, is that a joke about them being too large? BobI don't have a problem with it being slow, but I get the feeling that the site participation has dropped off. A friend who does a site for a specific make/club changed the clubs site to what looks like AACA's new site. Attendance has dropped way off on that one too. I don't know if AACA is tracking numbers, but on my friends site attendance has dropped by 1/2.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Maine Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm coming in from "favorites" and as I mentioned a day or so ago, the site is a little slower but not enough to make any difference. Next time, I'll try coming in directly. Still not a fan of the "new" either, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Irritatingly slow. I have started passing over several threads I usually read just because of the frustration involved. Sometimes the back button works, other times not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Green Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yep, a lot slower for me too. And, my 'back' arrow will not work all the time.......not sure what is up with that, this is the only place that happens.Also very slow for me on both my computers, unlike the decent speed prior to the updates. The reason your “back” doesn’t work is: if you are in an area of the form like general discussion and opening several posts, click on the drop down arrow at the forward and back buttons (top left of screen) and you will see many lines of facebook tags preventing you from getting out of the thread. If you are only going through one or two posts / threads most of the time the “back” button will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Wrench Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 For me there is/was a delay when you first select a forum topic. The delay was about 5 seconds. I've noticed that now the delay is in the 2-3 second realm and thus not bad at all. As Peter said, this is probably server related and probably not something that is going to change. After the initial delay, however, the rest of the page loads nearly instantaneous. My internet connection is through Comcast and it runs at around 23mbps. That is pretty fast and thus would make me think that delays people are seeing are more related to the increased amount of data sent rather than something 'wrong' with the website on the back end.

carbking Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The good news: no difference in speed old to new (quad processor, Windows 7, IE)The bad news: this site is the slowest that I visit. Typically, I sign in (15~30 seconds), then do a search on carb*. I then open another browser, and visit a couple of other sites. Generally (not always) by the time I get back the search will have completed.This is NOT a complaint, rather a statement of fact to back up others in the thread.I still visit each day if I can.Jon.

Steve Moskowitz Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 There are some issues we are aware of in regards to the site and to our knowledge it is not a product of the new software but the age of our servers. We will be addressing our technology needs in the next 30 days. Meantime remember patience is a virtue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarrsCars Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If I may suggest something in layman's terms that may be of use to some, the new site will load slower the first time you visit each page because the old site was already "stored" in your system via cookies, etc., to allow quicker load times. Ever notice how a new site you have never visited before seems slower than ones you use commonly? That's why. After navigating around a bit, you should see things return to at least the prior level of speed, tho as mentioned it may still be slow in general due to server limitations.Also, I use Firefox and have no problems, and in fact also use the adblocker plugin which really speeds up forums for me since it prevents all those little random ads from loading before I can view the page. On most sites the ads have to be loaded before you can view the content, this is done to ensure that companies buying ad space get their money's worth in terms of exposure to the public. Try it out if you use Firefox and I'm confident you will be happy with the results. It's free, easy to install, easy to turn on and off or remove later, and it blocks most ads on all sites not just forums. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john2dameron Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I was going to say I thought it was fine and I'm also coming here from my favorites. Also I'm on dial-up. I visit another hobby site daily. If I told you which one you could go there and see what slow is. (Got all that said and it would not post. Said AACA was not responding.) Then I lost my connection to the net and had to hook back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
