I think its the big block of adverts at the top of the page causes the slow loading ( for those on a slower network  wave1 ),maybe spread them around the forum a bit.But once loaded seems to run OK to me.Perhaps upgrade your crystal set( http://earlywireless.com/crystal_sets.htm (http://earlywireless.com/crystal_sets.htm) ) modem Pee Nuu for faster speeds.  :P :biggrin: ....but for us village guys slow internet is the only option  :(

Yes, I understand. Yet, I don't have any of this s*it anywhere else. Just here. So...I suspect it's something in the works or the connection with this particular spot.....?????

OK. to answer your questions:

1) The forum is working OK if you have proper internet connection. I have several computers and there is no problem getting in to the forum through them.

2) Adverts. I can split it to have 2 lines each upload (Rotate,each time different ads), I don't know if the 'sponsors' will be so happy with this tweak but all ads are on all website's pages anyway so let me know what do you think?

3) 'Jumping all over the place' ??? Explain!

I am looking forward to hear your comments and solve this issue.

Yours always. Admin. sawadi

Almog,

You really improved the initial loading of the forum page.  However, the 1st time I try to load a topic, the Advertisements load slowly, one at time.  My current connection is 65 mps, so bandwidth should not be an issue.

Thank you for your comment. Please let me know if there are any further issues with the forum.
 
I will split the ads to show 2 lines each upload (Rotate,each time different ads) in attempt to solve the problem.

OK guys,I didn't split the ads but I tweaked the settings of the Ads and not the ads will show less times and in less areas of the forum.
Do you think I should cancel the option to see the ads on the boards also?
Don't answer yet. Please try and let me know as time pass.
Yours,Admin. wave1

I find that using a tool such as adblocker can improve response times. Would it not be better for individual users to implement their own blocking strategy that works for them rather than potentially compromise your business relationship with your sponsors....It's not rocket science after all......

Admin have your thought about changing over to RackSpace (http://www.rackspace.hk/PPC/Brand.html?CMP=Google-TH-Rackspace_Hosting-txtBrand&gclid=CLyd4O7hp6gCFUl76wodCHLNHg),all your images and other content are hosted by Akamai on 72,000 servers in 70 countries, this is known as a CDN (content delivery network).
It basically means  your forum post's go to Buriram Expats.con in Thailand, it will load from the Akamai servers in Bangkok, if you go to it from the UK, it will load from servers in London ,US in New York, Australia in Sydney, Russia in Moscow and so on.
In simple terms, the web site should be super fast wherever you are  thumbup

More than likely your service provide and not the forum mechanics.Check the IP that is show on the page under a post you've made,Us AIS users ( 12call ) do have a slow network but sometimes AIS change from a Bangkok sever to a another sever in Thailand  which can slow up your connection speed.I'm running slow today,instead of my IP starting with 119 or 110 ( BKK )it starts with 49 ....a Chai-Nat  my server which seems to run slower for some reason  :(

I might question your suggestion that it's a particular server, Alan. I don't have any sorta problems browsing anywhere - forums, blogs, sites, etc - except when I'm here. I'm of the opinion that this place is overloaded with graphics and ads that muck up the works....

The Forum is working fine as far as I can see it....
Maybe you have an Internet speed connection problem there...

Some day are slower than others, maybe not a particular sever but when my IP address changes so does my speed smilenod
BTW...you could always take mxyzptlk advice and try an addblock software  to speed things up  :biggrin:

I'm not talking about IP changing softwear that does slow up your speeds( so I've been told  ;) ) but AIS 12call does change severs and IP's on some connection ,again ...some days good .others not so,all depends how many people are using the service at any given time  :)
