Website pages taking 2-5 minutes to load

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Website pages taking 2-5 minutes to load

Post by shadowkatt64 »

Please help! Whenever I try to load any pages from the Online Bookclub website forums or otherwise, it takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes to load. I am new here, and signed up early this morning, but it took forever to get it completed and get my 1st book downloaded. I will mention though, that the actual download of the book was very quick, but just getting anything else to load is taking forever.

Are you still having this issue?
Everything is loading quickly for me.

There have been slow loading issues in the past, though very rarely, and never to that extant.

I'm not having issues with the website loading.

It doesn't matter what part of the site I am trying to get to, whether it is here at the forums, or general areas of the site, it still takes 2-5 minutes to load. I originally used edge, but switched to chrome, and they both take forever. It is going to be a nightmare trying to upload a review I'm afraid.

It sounds like it's your computer, not the website.

I also have this issue of the OBC pages taking forever to load. I don't have to deal with it on a daily basis but once or twice a week, it happens.

I've found the website to freeze up on me regardless of what computer or device I am using.

After having to relocate from Panama City, Fl due to hurricane Michael, to Buffalo, Missouri, I do not seem to have this issue at the moment.

Sometimes the pages do take a little long to download. But generally the site loads in okay time.

I have not experienced such a problem before. It could be a computer or network issue.
