slow and unreliable access to the forum site

Today again things are occasionally very slow. I just got this page a couple of times. Sometimes is stays at the timeout page, and sometimes it takes a long time, shows the timeout page, and then proceeds to the original link within 2 seconds automatically.

Problem continues today. A significant percentage of page loads time out or fail.

Sorry to hear you are still experiencing problems. I am not seeing this on or off the network, logged in or not. Are there specific pages you are attempting to access when this occurs?

[altenbach]

No, it seems random. Sometimes a thread, sometimes a forum, sometimes when trying to post. It just stalls. Probably 20% of all page views.

Often a "refresh" loads the page instantly.

(Pings to www.ni.com and forums.ni.com are fast and don't show any packet loss)

In the spirit of highlighting occurrences of this, as I think was asked earlier (but am currently unwilling to search for, due to loading times for different pages), the forums are currently loading very slowly. It seems to have improved on 10-15 minutes ago, when it more frequently gave RESET errors or timed out, now pages are loading in around 20s each, but still very slow.

Yes, today the forum site had major issues, either not reachable, or just showing some progress bar stating: "we are processing your request" or something like that. Now it looks like working again. I saw the problem around 6-7am (CET).

Half-glad to know it wasn't just me. As you say, now it seems fine again.

Last night, the site was having intermittent issues during our maintenance window. This should be resolved now though, so please let us know if you continue to see problems.

Thanks,

Lili

Cbutcher,

It looks like you have an image in your signature, but it shows up as broken.  It seems to be part of your gallery, but perhaps it is in a hidden or private area of your image gallery?

[cbutcher]

Yes - it was working before but now it seems to have broken. I'll try moving the image to a public gallery and changing the link.

I was previously a little confused as to why it was working from a private album, so I suppose this is a return to expected behaviour. 

I saw it yesterday, but given the forum weirdness I didn't want to assume it was actually broken.

Today visiting the forum site takes a very long time, logging in, moving from one post to the next, both at home and at work.

NI.com itself is fine, but as soon you click on discussion forum, idea exchange or user groups one can go for a coffee
