Really? It's weird that I haven't noticed it on other websites.It's not just here, there have been some serious DDos attacks again over the weekend, it seems to have been targeting Cloud flair accounts [well the ones I know have been]
the website I use most was down for about an hour and half, and many other contacts also reported outages on various sitesReally? It's weird that I haven't noticed it on other websites.
This past week we've seen multiple DDoS attacks but thanks to Cloudflare those are getting blocked after 1 minute or so (every time), so the slow downs are there but for very brief moments. If you're seeing consistent slowdowns though, it might be something else... perhaps a CF node close to your location not working properly. Let me know.When it was happening on multiple devices including mobile, it wasn't my connection or browser that was the issue. But if cloudflare is experiencing DDOS attacks then yeah, that explains it.
It's pretty constant throughout the day and I've seen it last for much longer than just 1 minute. I'll keep you updated.This past week we've seen multiple DDoS attacks but thanks to Cloudflare those are getting blocked after 1 minute or so (every time), so the slow downs are there but for very brief moments.

For literally years, I've had issues loading pages here. I've given up complaining about it. I mean. so what if I have to renew a page a half dozen times before it loads.It's pretty constant throughout the day and I've seen it last for much longer than just 1 minute. I'll keep you updated.

Not a chance. The situation has "improved" a wee bit, but IMO, it's due to a "more powerful" web box. I'm "all the way up" to an i3-539 8 GB 64 bit OS.I thought that was finally fixed a while back Cap.
It seems to be better now. I'll keep you updated.How is the situation going on your end this week?
Pretty sure your issue is CDN related and not the same as the other members above.
It's an off again on again issue. I complained about it back in Feb 2023.It seems to be better now. I'll keep you updated.

TechSpot site loading slowly when logged in?
I've noticed some serious issues loading techspot for the last week. If I am logged into my techspot account, the site can take upwards of 2 minutes to load, and acts as if the sire is being DDOS'd. This occurs on windows, linux, android, and iOS, on safari, chrome, and firefox based browsers...www.techspot.com
If you clear all your login info for the site and visit it incognito, it runs fine, but the moment you log back into your account and create a new cookie the whole forum reverts to 56k mode. Then for no reason a week or two later the problem will disappear.
This happens across devices and operating systems on multiple internet providers, and when it occurs there is no performance loss for any other websites, only techspot.
Same thing I'm seeing right now but I think it's because I'm being purposely rate limited by XenForo, the software that runs this site. I think I may have pissed off a moderator or two around these parts and I'm willing to admit it.Ive been having the same issue the past few weeks. If I am signed in, the site is unusable. If I sign out, the site works fine. Multiple devices, multiple browsers, multiple locations. As long as I am signed in, techspot doesnt work at all and forum usage is completely broken.
If I sign out, everything works perfectly.
your posts are fine.I made a post here and it's not public when I log out. That just reinforces the idea that I'm soft-banned for being a bad boy.
Oh well, see ya in six months or so. That is, if I ever choose to come back. Peace out!
Funny thing is, every time this happened to me, it was after a moderated post.

I'm going to walk away from this site for six or so months. Maybe by then my soft-ban will be lifted.
As a result of this incident, two warning points have been added to your account. These points will expire after a certain period, but please note that repeated violations may lead to suspension or a permanent ban.
We understand that mistakes happen and hope this is a one-time issue. Thank you for helping keep TechSpot a constructive and welcoming community.
So, in reality, you're punishing people who "misbehave" by deliberately interfering with their interactions on the site? You think that is going to help? Never a good look.The goal isn’t to punish
