Am I the only one that never has problems with Auctiva? I can't think of a single time in the past year when I haven't been able to get done what I want done because of speed issues. (Except for scheduled maintenance of course).
I mean, It's not like I use Auctiva all the time so maybe it's just times when I'm not on it, but I am a Silver Powerseller and use Auctiva exclusively.
Ditto with Kbalona; absolutely no problems
just curious...what kind of routers do you have?
For my Desktop I use Touchstone Telephony Broadband Modem and for my laptop I use D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Wireless Router with a D-Link Wireless Xtreme N Notebook Adapter DWA-652 in my Laptop. My Netbook does not use an adapter and connects to the Wireless Router. For me the Desktop runs a little faster than the two wireless computers. Hope that helps a little. Good Luck!
I could ALMOST buy into the hardware answer except that not every listing created is slow AND the problem ALWAYS is the item description not filling in on the listing page. Why does this section of the page load so much slower than the rest of the listing? I sense it loads from two different servers, but why? It wasn't always this way, only the past couple of years. Probably about 6 months before it became a pay site. Whatever the reason, no one seems to address it. Of course this morning is like any other. A few listings created quickly, a bog down, another quick one, a bog down etc. I just don't think that its the router.
Greg I didn't think it was the router either. But how could a chosen few have such a different experience than the vast majority? It was another member who raised the theory after using other than a linksys modem. I was among the largest group of doubters.
I don't get it. I only know that the time issue is so severe that either Auctiva tech support figures out who most of us are suffering or from a business perspective a move is warranted. I am not changing a hardware configuration that works with my other suppliers.
I am sad that Auctiva seems disinterested but from a biz perspective they have our money and this is likely not a priority to them esp since the buyout.

I have a 5 year old Linksys WRT54G router. When I'm at my desk my laptop is wired. I've never had a problem with the item description not filling in or taking longer to load than the rest of the page. Greg T, what are your computer specs? I have an older desktop computer that I use occasionally, and Auctiva loads slower on it (as do other websites) than my newish laptop. But that's not a problem with Auctiva, it's my antique hardware. (although it's only 6 years old and was a pretty decent machine at the time, I couldn't believe how much faster my new dual core laptop was).
I admit my pc is dated BUT why just Auctiva's site AND its not every listing. Some are quick, others are just bogged down terribly. Why too did Auctiva work perfectly with the Sea Monkey browser and then all of a sudden stopped working at all with it. XML errors which Auctiva will not address. It's all about the money with them and except for the fact that they are doing image hosting for other auction sites where I list the same items as on ebay, I wouldn't use them at all. Not worth the wasting of time.
Hi- anyone having SLOW problems today. I have tried in 3 browsers, internet explorer, mozilla and chrome and sooooo slow in all 3. I have cleared cookies, cache and still same problem. I have checked internet connection. Other sites are loading in a snap and maybe loading faster than the norm, so is not internet/router, etc., problem.
I am especially having problems if I go to the Notifications area, they just will not load. (of course you notice in more in area you are attempting to use.)
Is it just me???
I am writing support too.. but wondered if others are having issues too. .
Thanks

I tried to delete post but for some reason it won't go away. Anyway. . .I wrote support and. . .
My bad, problem appeared to be on my end!! I let the notifications stack up. . for a very long time and it is trying to load them all so slows things down. When they would not load I would hit saved listings while the other was loading so that created double problem.
Lesson learned, keep your notifications cleaned out. Deleting them after they stack up is PITA!
Thanks Mike at Support for your Help and answer that I could "get". I know Mike highly unusual that I "get it" But I did!!

I did the same as Greg...cleared out the notifications and no change in speed. aargh
Sorry.. I have not listed new listings to speak of lately days but plan to (just did relists which are usually pretty easy).
I think my problem was going to notifications, then giving up and zooming to saved so it was still trying to get 3,000 ish relists up. Once I quit doing that the saved came up better.
I will post if I have problems when I start gearing to really list again.
Sorry ya'll.

Interesting. . today everything including the 3,000 ish notifications is loading faster than the speed of light (so far, knock on wood, etc.). Guess my lucky rabbit food worked (telling my age right). 
I mean better than it has EVER been right now!!
Try yours and see if it is faster? If so this really will put curious spin on the whys to all of this. Incidentally, FYI I use Time Warner for internet and have a netgear router. Which internet provider came out about a week or two ago and tested both and said they were perfect. (i.e. did not recommend their rental router at all).
Hope it is zooming for all of you. Unfortunately, I will not be home today to list. . arg.

hi Vickie...I use Time Warmer also and have a linksys router. Someone previously said they switched their linksys router to antoher, and the speed was great. I cannot afford to change equipment. I beg Auctiva to see what settings might be interfering with linksys. (shot in the dark).
