Forum issue: Forum hangs up. In Chrome at least.

Title says it all but evidence attached. It's happened many times. Annoying but not show stopping.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

heater: Does this happen on a specific page? Any page? Standing on one foot? I'm looking for a list of suspects.

Jim,

Seems to happen when I take a break from sacrificing goats to the internet Gods. Which is annoying because I'd like it to work during my tea break.

More seriously I suspect it is something to do with the fact that I have a very intermittent connection here. WIFI to a router, router to the net over a 3G USB dongle. 500km from civilization, in the forest nearby the Russian boarder!

Intermittent or not it should not happen. Perhaps there is some synchronous HTTP request going on that hangs up when the connection drops out. Then the browser times out.

I'll keep an eye on it.

I have experienced this also at random times on Chrome on win7.

I use Chrome exclusively, and I have 5-6 second delays sometimes.

Maybe a lower MTU can help?

Browsers get up to four streams at a time - and not all of them are pulling from our server. Latency on any of those streams can really slow down a page load. You can use Firefox and the FireBug plugins to have the browser identify the streams and time them for you. At least one of them is behaving well.

I've had this happen several times (Win Firefox & Mac Safari). Doing a page reload usually unblocks things.

Hasn't happened for me. It has happened on all sites except for this one.

As for why it happened to you heater, it might be for one simple reason. However I can't describe why without raising a lot more than a few eyebrows.
