its all there in the error message, when you went to load the chat feature, it put in a request for the webpage, but the webpage did not reply fast enough, basically it working slow, which is something i too noticed on the site about an hour ago, it was running slow for responding and returning webpages.

normally this is to do with a HTTP server issue on the serverside, not your personal machine. If EI are experiencing issues with high number of requests, i would suggest the place in a caching proxy, even on the same server as the HTTP server, this stores frequent requests and divides the taks of a HTTP server. normally a webserver's CPU/capacity is under-utilised, and restrictions in HTTP server efficiency can be sometimes hard to spot, but it can be an easy fix to greatly increase performance.

hell, i'd even be willing to help. im an all out techie myself.

Thanks for that man. Bit of a technophobe myself.

Any particular reason I seem to be one of the few people effected? Should it be effecting random users if its the server?
I know another guy last Saturday that said he was having problems too but not sure how many more.

Ah!

theres tons of reasons it could be the server.

1) too many people logged in, means that the server has to handle a lot of requests at one time

2) depending on the webserver they are using, it can be fine tuned to handle more people to serve more requests, they should look at settings involving max_connections, web container threads, max active threads.

3) could be database issues even, a lot of database systems have automated tasks which fire off at certain times during the day, can drastically slow down things if not managed efficiently.

4) it shouldnt affect users randomly, there should be a pattern to it, so it could be to do with browsers, such as if the chat feature was recently upgraded and they changed how certain types of traffic are manages, that being if they compress files when sending, or if they applied new rules to the http server for firefox and IE but forgot about chrome it may act up.

there are bunches of other things. if i think of something, an epiphany hits, i'll mail you with a question or two.

quick question, as to whether any of the suggestions people made in this thread would be added into the search criteria?

or if not that even if other people had other suggestions to add.
