Is anyone else noticing the slow refresh rate on the New Topics page?

Is anyone else noticing the slow refresh rate on the New Topics page?

I have been a member for awhile now and have always experienced a quick refresh rate but in the last 1-2 weeks it seems that it has slowed down considerably.

On top of that, only the 2 topics in the right hand top (current topics) refresh first and than I have to wait for the bottom to refresh as well. Sometimes taking about 10-15 seconds.

I haven't changed any PC settings or put any blockers etc up. It just happened one day and is continuing.

Anyone else?

Peace

Maybe a mod or a tech can pipe in here?

Just need to know if it's on my end or not.

Peace

Yes, I thought it was my 3g mobile broadband being its usually unpredictable self. I'm on an android tablet and in the past few weeks I have had to navigate away from Ats new topics several times as the bottom columns refused to load and it gave me no refresh option, weird, but I thought it was just me.
No doubt it's somehow Obama's fault

Same issue here. It happens in Chrome and Firefox, so I don't think it's the browser.

Now it makes sense.

Finally a logical explanation.

Shills have left, for what is coming very soon they are not needed anymore. Watch the state of the union tomorrow.

And because the shills have left the refresh rate has been changed? Were they the ones holding up the functionality of the site? Shills!! Come back we LIKE you.. Pwease?

I've noticed it kinda, but maybe I'm just used to laggyish things? Not really sure..

It's not... I have the same problem and I have a very good computer. I don't have the same problem anywhere else

Thank you for bringing this up.I really thought it was just my computer or internet service.Never ocurred to me that others might be having the same problem.There are times when I will just leave ATS and come back later because I get frustrated at the refresh times.You stated 10-15 seconds.In my case it is sometimes more like30-45 seconds.
Could it be due to heavy internet traffic at certain times?I have to admit that I know very little about how the internet works.

OK,

Glad to know it's not just me.

What's up ATS? Something changed we don't know about? Temporary or permanent?

My last refresh was 54 seconds???

Peace
