Technical issues with this forum

[herofan]

Whenever I use this site lately, it is very sluggish with me. Scrolling and typing is very delayed due to it freezing up. The situation comes and goes, so I am able to function, but very slowly. This is the only forum I have this issue. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions as to why I'm having this issue?

No issues here.

Restart your computer

It doesn't help. I've restarted several times since the issue started a few weeks ago.

Most browsers let you select to keep or delete cookies when you delete the history.
I delete cookies too but keep passwords

Here is a tip -

Simply Google search whatever you want to know how to do, but don't.

Go to google, type in "delete cookies Internet explorer (or whatever browser you are using)"

You'll find step by step instructions on how to do whatever it is you asked Google. Be careful what you ask, there isn't much Google won't tell you how to do.

Have you deleted cookies and browsing history?

No, but I'll try it. What does that do? Can a computer have too many cookies? I haven't deleted them in forever.

I exclusively get on the forum from my phone. It seems to give a computer fits.

Yes you can have too many cookies and some cookies will get tracked by other sites helping slow your computer down. Don't worry about what happens if I delete the all, delete them all and nothing will happen. You'll get the cookie back when you visit the site again, for example you have a cookie from Cattle today, you delete all your cookies them go and visit cattle today you'll have another cookie from that site. You also want to download a free spyware program and check for bugs, spyware and malware will really slow down your computer........ Sorry to add on to the confusion.

The worst that can happen is that he will have to log completely in next time he visits and his computer 'may' not show posts that have not been read. The last part of that is controlled by 'persistant cookies' rather than the temp cookies that are set by just visiting a website.

Yes, I have a similar problem with this site. I also have the screen go gray and back again in a flash. Thought it was my system - probably is.

I also use Google search for my search on CT. It finds what I'm looking for infinitely better than the search feature on this site. 99% of the time, google will link me back to a post from this site that is exactly what I was looking for, but would have had to sift through page after page of non relevant info had I used the site search feature (when it does in fact work).

No problems lately. I do run an ad blocker and Malware all the time and about once a week go to "Tools" and run a complete disc cleanup which gets rid of browsing history, cookies and defrags the disc.

I've never had trouble with the board itself, tho I have had trouble with my network and browser resolving CT's dns. It that case tho, the board website won't load at all. "Web page not found" error.
