On dedicated server and host can't find any problems. If members disable javascript in Firefox the forum loads fine, otherwise pages that previously too 2 seconds, now take 30 seconds to load.
Thinking the few ads I have might be suspect, I deleted all ad code that required javascript and it made no difference whatsoever.
Any ideas ? Below is some info one member found.
www.practicalmachinist.com
=========================================================
It looks like one of the servers is not responding. There is a logical cluster of a.practicalmachinist.com, b.practicalmachinist.com... that respond in round-robin, and the a machine is dead. Turning off javascript disables the round-robin from the client side and you're able to get right in.
bash-3.2$ traceroute www.practicalmachnist.com
traceroute: Warning: www.practicalmachnist.com has multiple addresses; using 66.45.254.244
traceroute to www.practicalmachnist.com (66.45.254.244), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets (it timed out)
Same test to 209.216.209.188 (b.practicalmachinist.com) worked fine.
=========================================================
Also, via the browser source function, I'm seeing some source code (see below) that I had deleted via AdminCP style sheets/header/edit. A check of header/edit and it is still gone... so how do I really get rid of that code ? I mention this as Ominture was a problem in the past related to javascript and loading speed...so I worry maybe it is the source of the trouble still even thought the ads it was servicing are long gone.
