Anyone else having problems with the community?

Community.spiceworks.com takes a bloody age to load or just fails, I don’t think it is my connection as everything else seems fine. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue? (Attempt two at posting)

i noticed it was a bit slow loading last night, and this post took longer than normal…

I am seeing the Ads dropping out (IE cannot find page displayed instead of Ads) this morning from time to time. Our internet feed seems solid.

We’re getting overloaded - we’ve ordered some hardware to bulk up the community servers. It’ll take a little bit of time to get ordered and implemented, so bear with us for the next couple of weeks!

Was just about to make my own thread regarding the sluggishness I was seeing. Glad to hear NIC is beefing up the servers as we speak.

Good to hear, struggled for a few weeks. When it goes all laggy I just tend to leave for a while and let it do its thing.

After upgrading some hardware, it is clear that we are still having slowdowns and need to do more upgrades. We are putting some more hardware upgrades in place this week and doing some reconfiguration to make things work more smoothly. Until then you’ll see some slowdowns during peak periods over the next few days. Sorry again for the delays, and bear with us!
