I launched some fairly significant new code behind the scenes today on ADT. It apparently broke the way the forum keeps track of users that aren't logged in. I'll fix it soon.
Let me know if you see any other strangeness.

Looks like this is fixed now.
Hopefully the forum appears to load faster now for everyone. There are four web processes servicing your needs instead of just one. Less waiting in line for servicing is a good thing.

I've experienced really bad performance in the past few days.
Replying, previewing a reply or viewing a topic sometimes hangs for a very long time and I have to reload the page.
I'm using Firefox 16, if it helps you debug the problem.

The problem is even worse than I previously reported.
It can occur on pretty much every page, not just the ones I mentioned before.
It is also not specific to Firefox as I can reproduce the behavior in Opera 12.11 & Iron 23.
Your "optimizations" seem to have the opposite effect, at least for me & maybe BYOB_Kenobi?
Can you investigate or rollback your changes, if necessary? Thanks.

I've been using Firefox 9. I'll download the most recent version and test it.
If you're using any prefetching features or plugins that cause massive amounts of prefetches you'll hate browsing this site. I honeypot prefetching because it's a waste of resources.

The site works just as fast in Firefox 12 as it did in 9. Upgrading to 17 now.

version 17 is crazy fast, better than Chrome. I'm impressed.
I'd check your plugins to see if they are any like Fasterfox that prefetch pages.

BTW, with the switch away from memory-based session storage on the server it's now able to service more than one request at a time per user. Previously the server could only handle a single request from your browser. Firefox will let you tweak the number of simultaneous requests, some performance-improving plugins will do this for you.
I'm going to tinker with the pipelining settings to see what happens.

The problem can occur:
- with Firefox in safe mode
- with a brand new profile using a portable Firefox instance.
- with Opera 12.11 & Iron 23
It happened again when I posted in the Jennifer White topic.
Do you have any logs on the server to check what happens? Would it help you to debug if I reported in this thread the time and the page whenever I encounter the problem?
This is really annoying.

I have logs but they don't indicate anything out of the ordinary.
Have you done a traceroute to www.adultdvdtalk.com or forum.adultdvdtalk.com to see if it's network related?

It's still happening several times a day, last one was a few minutes ago in the Adult DVD Marketplace Feedback topic.
Traceroutes never show anything suspicious.
Can it have something to do with session cookies not expiring anymore? I haven't seen the "Enter Adult DVD Talk" page for a few weeks now.

The enter page doesn't show up as long as you have an ADT cookie present on the system.
There's nothing to indicate why the site would be slow for you and no one else. I suspect there's a caching proxy server in the way or something along those lines.
