I applogize if this is not posted to the correct location, but i'm curious if anyone else is experiencing lag when posting and using the forums, clicking just about anything takes 30 seconds or longer for it to move to that section.
Its been going on since the new look took place about a month back, and i've not posted about it because I figured it was just some stupid ad that was causing the issue which has happened before, but i'ts not gotten any better in over a month.
Using Tools->Web Developer->Network within firefox and clicking any forum link shows an average of 17.92 seconds for the page to finish loading.
Any suggestions or comments on how I can improve this, as it stand now the forums are very painful to browse.
This is really really strange and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience! I personally spend a lot of time here and have not experienced any such behaviour, pages load much faster now than they ever did, so this would appear to be an isolated issue (but one we can resolve if it's our fault!)
The first thing to check is do you have any extensions/plugins for your browser that may be causing interference? The easiest way to check this is to visit the website in an alternative browser (Google Chrome for example) or to disable all of your plugins and extensions. If you can do that check for me that would be very helpful and we can go from there if the issue continues!
I don't have an Avast plugin...but since the switch to the new design, the forums DO load stupid slow for me. They used to be fine, and so is everything else I open in my browser.
It would be alot more telling if page gen time was shown like it is on PHPBB/IPB.

That's really strange, can you try visiting from a different browser? This could be caused by a number of things, we'll need to work through them and isolate what the cause is. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience!
Using Chrome, trying it in Internet Exploder is just as slow as well. Used the browser on my phone as well, also extremely slow to finish loading pages, they come up and display fine but take 30 seconds to a minute to complete loading and be able to click on anything, in any browser.
Doesn't appear to be any sort of network issue either

It's your computer. If you don't have Google Chrome yet, use it. Explorer is getting less and less reliable.

I don't use Internet Exploder...try reading. Has nothing to do with any of the 5 computers in my house, even starting an X session on my server and using Konqueror results in slow page loads.
I have a feeling it's the massive array of advertising all over the pages(Look at the page source in the bottom section the page head alone), probably certain ads not loading/loading slow, before the rest of the page completes. I count 3 of the same Acura ads on the main forum page alone...
If you need ads, they should be locally generated, or loaded at the end of the code so as to not disrupt the rest of it...ads loaded from a 3rd party server can and do seriously affect page load.
I'm sorry if your post was done 1 minute after mine, I was going to another thread.

Well back to slow loading for me as well, thought I had it figured out, and i'm not about to change browsers just to visit the forums here, luckly for me lately real life work has been keeping me busy.
