Does the LEGO Pirate Forum take too long to load?

One of the things that concerns me is the amount of take it takes the LEGO Pirates Forum skin to load. The first time it loads on my system (i.e. after a fresh Windows install) it may take a little long, but after the images are cached it's not too bad, of course this may not be the case for everyone else.

The main loading hazard is the background with the sky, horizon and sea, remove that image and the forum skin will load noticeably faster but the downside is it won't look as nice.

And yes, the eBay Advetisements may add to the load time but they can be turned off at any time.

So now it's your turn, share your thoughts on the load time of the Pirate Forum skin.

I delete my cache sometimes, and I don't think that's long to load, I never had to wait, It takes 3-5 seconds when the template is not cached, when it is, it takes not enough times to count :P

I've notice that the last couple of weeks there seems to be a lag when refreshing the Pirate Forum. Also, the threads where you post the eBay finds seem to take much longer to load. I'm sure most of the lag comes from members that post images that are too large.

Mine loads as fast as i can click so no problems over here...Off course I must say both my computer (Quadcore 2.66/4Gigs Superfast 1333Mhz Ram, 2X1024Mb graphic cards in SLI mode , 10.000RPM HD's,...) AND my internet connection (20Mbps, the fastest non-professional broadband we can get in Belgium) are quite fast! (HEY MY BRO OWS A PC-STORE )

Sorry, I just couldnt let the oportunity pass by to bragg about my desktop

You Darn PIRATE !

I checked: it took 0.2029 sec to load this page!

I find it seems to take a huge amount of time when refreshing, but other than that it is fine for me.

Cant we all post our loading times that show up down here??

Could that be a manner to determine how fast everything loads? Or does this only show some things?

It takes a long time here in Australia.

Large pictures will slow down the loading in any forum, so base your conclusions on the time it takes the main Pirate Forum to download.

A precise loading time probably isn't necessary, but then again it could help. What may be helpful is if users included their Internet connection speed.

Well Australia is about 5 years behind in Internet technology so what do you expect?

20.000 ! but i cant vote anymore, cause I voted earlier on.

ive got Telenet Turbonet: thats a cable connection of 20Mbps and 1Mbps Upload
we have our own server :-) so every one of my pc has these speeds!

And as said: it loads faster then i can read it

Where is the server located BTW?

This is weird: I click on the forums tab on the classic-pirates.com frontpage and I get this error: Firefox can't find the server at forum.classic-pirates.com.

weird.

It's not just the Pirates forum; all the Eurobricks forums are slow. Let's face it; Eurobricks's server or ISP sucks. Just loading this page took several minutes, and the site fails to load at all about 50% of the time. I'm on a fast fibre connection and can download torrents at over a megabyte per second, so the problem's not on my end.

My daily browsing habit is:
1. Try refreshing the Eurobricks main page.
2. Go have coffee.
3. Open interesting Eurobricks forum threads in tabs.
4. Read all my other websites.
5. Go back to see if the Eurobricks forum pages have finally finished loading.
