I haven't really had this happen to me on the Mac yet, but on my PC it happens pretty frequently.
Sometimes I'll click a a link and the page will either not load, or take forever to load. But then I'll try going back, clicking the link to get back to where I was, click the link I was trying to click and then it'll work.
Anyone else know what I mean? Anyone else get this? Or is it just my tiny and weak PC?

That happens a lot to me too. And I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones. There's something buggy about this forum.

It's not your pc. Mine is pretty new, and I have the same problem. Sometimes pages take ages to load, and then all I get is a blank page. Refreshing often does the trick, but not always.

i always assumed it was the forum server, since it was only the forum page giving me trouble

looks like we're all victims here. time to clean out inboxes!

Same here. Or when I try to post something it just goes back to the homepage and my post is nowhere to be found

Fun.

I haven't experienced it myself yet, but not doubting you all.
In the very near future, we are upgrading the software for the forum as well as moving to a new server - hopefully the combination of the two will solve this.
If not (once we move) please let us know!

Ooh, new software? Does that mean the face of the forum will change too? We won't lose Kambox, will we? o.o
And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with the problem :D It's been bugging me for ages, but I never knew what to think it was. I'm glad my PC isn't dying already. xD
But it's weird though that it hasn't happened on the Mac yet. Pages take a little bit to load, but never like... stopped at a white screen that says "done" on the bottom or anyting.

I wonder if this issue is similar to the one that I've had since November, with me not being able to access any part of www.kamelot.com without going through a Proxy Server first. Will moving the forum to a new server fix this problem? Hmmm...

It has happened before, both on my Windows and Mac. Mac, less commonly than windows. I hope moving to a new server will solve this.

That totally doesn't sound right?
Maybe your current IP (without proxy) is caught up in our firewall. What's your IP for your machine, I can check.
You shouldn't have to go through a proxy to view the main site at all.

Since replying in the "news and announcements" section doesn't seem possible, this will have to do. Welcome, Deron! I was wondering who you were, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
UM forums are great at keeping spam out, so hopefully you can achieve the same here.

Welcome!
I am a member of several forums at UM and they all work fine to me... so the new upgrade of the forum here sounds very promising.

Welcome Deron! Thanks for working on all these things along with moving the forum. Seems you are a hard worker and we do appreciate that. I for one will be glad not to have a spam pm everyday to delete :)

Yeah, I've had problems with page loading as well...
Welcome Deron, and thank you! Making those forum improvements, upgrades, and combating the spam issues will hopefully indeed solve the long-time problems we've had. The ideas seem like they'd bring about good changes.

Welcome, Deron! I think I love you already. When you do the changeover and the forum is fixed then I'll know for sure!

Well I haven't had that problem since Deron arrived on the forum, so I guess something good happened. :D
Are other people still having the same problem?

Last time was 4-5 days ago, let's hope that was the last of the blank pages.

Yep, here it is still happening although not as often as it was before...
