Problem with SIGforum locking up Login/Join 
Member
posted
Recently I have been experiencing a situation where I might browse a couple or few posts here on the forum and then when I click to go to another post the site stalls out and my browser status line just stays at about 1/4 downloaded.

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this on SIGforum.

EDIT to add, I am running Safari on OSX, two different machines this has happened on over the past few days.

Try clearing your history, cookies and cache.

I haven't experienced your issues but this is my first diagnostic step when I do have browser issues.

Yup, happened a few times last couple days. Yesterday though, unknown if related, Verizon internet and phone were down for about an hour. I'm running IMac with Safari , Cleared cookies and history yesterday. Since then, no problems.

It happens to me as well. Every time, despite which browser I use. clean cache. After about 3 clicks it freezes, then, after a wait, it usually proceeds although not always.

I use an ipad. Didn’t use to have this pproblem.

Problems with your ISP?

There was a localized issue with Comcast in my area a couple nights ago. For two or three hours I was seeing up to better than 50% packet loss to everywhere on the Internet.

When I called it in they were already aware of it.

Don’t have the problem with any other sites. Perhaps I’m in the penalty box for a breach of forum etiquette?

Well the issue is getting worse. Can open the forum look at one maybe two posts then on the third post it locks up. Using the latest OSX and latest Safari. I am typing this using Firefox and it seems to be working ok for now. I was wondering if the ISP was monitoring and restricting SigForum access but it may be more of a Safari problem. I dont have the problem with any other sites that I am aware of which is what made it so suspicious to me.

it may be more of a Safari problem.

I am not agreeing it to be a Safari problem. It could be elsewhere, but I dropped Safari a few years ago for reasons similar to this. It just did not render correctly with certain web sites (but it always used to render SIGforum without any problems). Since then, I have been using a Chrome-based browser, Vivaldi, on macOS. There are other Chrome-based browsers, (Edge, Opera, e.g.) and of course Chrome itself. Perhaps give one of those a try?
 
Vivaldi is a sweet browser. If you take the time to work through the multitude of settings, its UI is very flexible.



When in doubt, mumble

I'm using Safari 16.3, OSX Ventura 13.2.1 on a MacBook Air M1 with no problem. Older iMac with High Sierra in the hangar office, no problem there either.

Any chance that you're connected to a flaky DNS server? At one time, the DNS that I was using had intermittent problems resolving SIGforum.com, I changed DNS setting and now problems since.

It may be an issue with Safari interacting with our Eve platform. I believe Crowdstack is no longer offering Eve to new customers and a couple of years ago, I was advised by our host that it may be time to move to something newer. Eve was created before the smartphone era and there are some scalability issues with this software when viewed on portable devices.

The conversation about our platform becoming dated and the possibility of moving to something newer was with Crowdstack's chief operating officer, someone with whom I have had a long and cordial relationship. When I expressed my strong desire to remain where we are, they agreed to this.

The backend of this platform, I know so very well and it eases my duties. This and my reluctance to move to any software which may change the smooth appearance of the forum are the reasons why I wish things to remain as they are. I can't say I'm familiar with the appearance of all current gun discussion forums, but I feel like SIGforum is the best-looking of all of them, with the lack of clutter on the pages and the mellow earth-tone color palate I chose long ago. The colors, we can keep, but I don't want to change the layout, or have to spend months fumbling around the backend of a new platform, or have objects which appear by default on pages, which I would be unable to remove. And I think that you guys wouldn't like a more cluttered appearance any more than I would.

At some point, though, I may have no choice in the matter, and rumblings about the forum locking up with a particular browser may be the first distant peals of thunder of problems to come.

I'm using Safari 15.6.1 and it works fine... I'd suspect it is either the OP's computer being overloaded or his server.

Try a power-off reset. I do that for my iPhone at least once a week.

FWIW, I've had no problems with SigForum on my iPhone, running Safari. I agree with the suggestion to reboot the phone when an issue like that pops up.

There's really no other way to force a hard reset of any app. It's not bad for the iOS either.

Para - I have always appreciated the clean and slick look of SF, as I'm sure many of us who also frequent more "cluttered" forums do. I'm not well versed in the more technical aspects of running a forum from the back end, but if it would be feasible to hire someone to optimize what we have for mobile use vs. changing platforms to accomplish that same goal, I'd gladly pitch in to cover the cost. I know you've always rebuffed our offers to pay for membership here, but maybe you'd feel differently about a one-time maintenance project? If it comes to that.
