For reals. Its a ordeal to get to these forums. I have to stop load on the page and refresh until it finally goes through. seriously whats the issue?
This is something for the Player Support forums but works fine for me still. Sounds like you need to cleanup your browser cache, update your browser, or something along those lines. Sorry, not a DBG issue.
Could also be a connectivity issue, but to digress again it’s really not an issue players or DBG can likely help you with.
I have done all that with Firefox and the issue persists. It is very hit or miss though. I have been lazy and I have not tried other browsers.
I've cleared my cache, deleted cookies, restarted the computer a few times, and these forums are still laggy as all get out about 90% of the time. stop load, refresh, wait 2 minutes, stop load, refresh til it finally pops up.
There are often problems at various times of the day. Sometimes it'll be running smoothly and other times it'll take forever to load anything. Nothing to do with the end user. The last thread on this wasn't too long ago: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/forum-lag.270451/
Its the only website I have trouble with - honestly. Especially in the morning it takes forever to load oftentimes.
100% a DPG issue. This isn’t the first complaint about it. Forums take forever to load, and I find myself just going somewhere else. This website is garbage.

As a comparison, my website has PageSpeed Score A (100%) and YSlow Score A (91%). The only reason mine is slow sometimes is I have the cheapest hosting possible and I'm running several wikis and a forum on it..

Yeah I’ve tried other browsers too and I have the same issue. Even doing it on my phone. It’s been like this for awhile
