Opensuse 12.1
Guys, using Opensuse Forums is a painful experience for me at the moment. I get very long waiting times for the Forums page to load. It is almost impossible to use. In addition I may get a timeout showing in the browser window when following a thread or opening a new forum page. This is a fairly recent problem, as I have viewed the Forums for years without these delays.
Firefox can get stuck on “Waiting for forums.opensuse.org” for 10 to 15 seconds. Reloading the page only prolongs the wait. Has anyone come across similar problems?
There have been issues recently. We are waiting for a software update and issues have been worked on. I must say though, that just recently it’s been fine for me except for strange login/out issues
Yes, I’ve experienced this, and it seems to be exacerbated, (but not consistently), if I try to open a few threads simultaneously.
I find just after logging in, I get a long delay, which is sometimes helped by simply closing the page and clicking on the shortcut I have, to load it again (this time without issue).
Still watching this. This morning I notice getting to the site was quicker. However moving around the site still very slow. Is this the only Opensuse / Suse forum that you know of ? Can you suggest any others ?

What browser are you using?
If you’re using Chrome, it might be useful if you pull up the developer
tools (CTRL+SHIFT+I) and load the page with the “network” tab open. That
might help pin down what’s slow loading in your instance, and might help
us troubleshoot the issues.
If you’re using Firefox, the httpfox extension provides similar
functionality.

Thanks. There’s also a header that is being sent out at the moment that
would also be helpful - in the response header, look for “ProcessingTime”
that along with “Via” and “Date” would be very helpful to know when you
see a timeout.
I’m also told that the timeout issues may be specific to IPv4, so if you
have the ability to run over IPv6, it would be useful to know if you are
and seeing the performance issues when connected via IPv6.

Great, thanks - I’ll pass these headers along and see if that helps us
track anything.

I haven’t had any hangs using Firefox 12.0, installed from YaST. Unfortunately I can’t test the latest Firefox 13.0 release, because on last check it wasn’t available in the update repository for openSUSE 12.1.
Haven’t had any crashes with Firefox from this site. Just intermittent real slow page page loading. The only one of my 30 site daily routine to exhibit this behavior.
Both Firefox and Thunderbird from the suggested repository are dated 21-April-2012. I wouldn’t exactly call those the latest release versions. If they aren’t going to be updated, even though there are security fixes, no biggie as I only install the release versions trough YaST to troubleshoot problems, and provide support.
I use the Betas, Aurora, and Nightly builds installed manually.
I know Thunderbird 14.0b1 hasn’t been released yet, but shouldn’t that repo be providing Firefox 14.0b6?
Maybe it is time for me to become a distro hopper, and explore other Linux distros. :\
I have found the forum excruciatingly slow for some time now. I’m using Chrome 20.1032, although that has just been installed as an update. This is the only regular site that is as slow as this.

How do you define “for some time now”? (Specific timeframes are more
helpful to diagnosis)
If you could open the Chrome developer tools (ctrl+shift+I) and load the
page, have a look at the headers and report back what the processingtime,
via, and date headers (after the page has finished loading), that would
be very helpful.
