Oh dear what can the matter be . . . oh so slow !

Is it just me or is the editing of listings become excrutiatingly slow over the last month regardless of the (UK) time of day I try to edit or create listings. in particular opening a listing to edit (45 to 50 secs), error checking (40 to 60 secs) and saving (up to 30 secs).

However changing templates and previewing is very quick so it's not all my 'end' !

I only used to get slow down problems after about 17:00 GMT now it does not matter. Is anyone else in particular from the UK having the same trouble.

I am running XP, IE6 on a 2Ghz PC, 2Mb broadband, internet traffic indicators show that the PC is sitting waiting most of the time and I do not get this problem anywhere else. Frown

Hey Choo.
No, it's not just you. I thought it was me. It's been going slow opening to edit or create, like you, and sometimes preview is really slow. Opening the window to select pictures is too at times. I'm sorry I didn't see this before today but looking at your original post date, I think it was fine for me then. Not now. Frown

I'm on Vista, FF, 2G and wireless... have no idea speed there but 'tain't bad. Smile

I'd never run error check and just went to find it... right in front of me. lol Anyway, that ran pretty fast.

edit... I can see everything, but the loading wheel thingy is still turning on that listing. Confused
It does that all the time and I hit stop to make it go away.

Hi, rarely makes any difference, a day spent mostly on the internet reloads all the cookies and a few actually make life a lot easier. Smile

A better solution would be if all the nosey, cookies could be eliminated but that takes even more processor effort and disrupts access to some sites. Seems to be a no win situation and the software writers use the excuse of improving our 'online experience' on this that and the other site to pry on our surfing habits. Frown

Might just do that, although Shadeaux uses FF, I am currently resisting the IE7 downloads. I will try it on only one PC to start with so I can compare the two.

Uninstalling surplus software is usually a bigger problem then installation especially when it says I think that file blah is not used by anything else do you want to delete it, eeek.

Choo, mine's going fast now. I love FF and the only thing I use IE for is to upload a lot of pics and those rare sites that require it.

When I got this computer, I did updates (it actually ran it automatically and I allowed) and it crashed my brand new computer. Literally. I had to do a full restore. The only things I'd done were put FF and AVG, no Zone Alarm yet so it was relatively painless. Major PITA and quite time consuming. I hate doing those updates!

Well Shadeaux, looks like I will give FF a go as I really cannot take these turn around times, I have resorted to doing other things on another PC in parallel, trouble is I then forget to look back at the listing PC and it all takes even longer.

And if it don't work another drum beat needs to be started, hear the drums getting louder, are the natives getting noisier or worse, closer Eek

Whoops not in the lounge now Red Face

edit - actually I'd better check IE6 is still dragging it's feet first otherwise trying FF prooves nothing.

Hi folks, tried Firefox it works 10 to 20x faster than figures at the start of this thread mostly nearer 20x even late afternoon UK time.

This is much like the access speeds I used to get with IE6, so what has broken, or rather why ask, it works that's good enough for me.

Must admit I like the status information which still tells me I wait a short while for Auctiva to respond, should be quick enough not to see that message Wink

Anyway thanks for the info Smile
