ProBoards Software Change - Loading Problems...

The file is large but it's not much larger than it was before.

I can't replicate the problem. I also didn't see anything about this from other users. It is most likely either your connection, browser, or their server. You may want to go directly to the horse's mouth on this one. support.proboards.com/board/44/support-board

If I get the time, I'll look into it a little further. I know they implemented SSL recently so it may be related to that.

Damn, dial-up in the year 2020!? ; even 10-15 years ago dial-up was pretty damn bad.

it seems like you could get some level of decent internet access. if you got a smart phone with unlimited data you can probably tap into it's data as some smart phones seem to allow setting up a WiFi thing so any of your devices that can use a standard WiFi connection can tap into it. that would be a lot better than dial-up which is basically 6KB/s MAX. even a really slow DSL connection will wipe the floor with that as it's probably at least 40KB/s.

hell, my internet is nothing special (it's pretty safe to say my internet line is slower than most people and I suspect it's a lot slower than many modern internet connections straight up) and it's at least 67 times faster than your line and I am assuming your at 6KB/s which you might be around 5KB/s as if your 5KB/s I am basically 80-ish times faster and my line is quite slow compared to a typical modern-ish internet line.

p.s. hell, your internet is so slow... just installing uBlock Origin (by Raymond Hill) on your browser (Firefox/Chrome) will probably give you a decent speed bump due to the crap it filters which on a decent internet line it might not be all that noticeable but since your internet is extremely slow, it might give a noticeable speed increase in website loading.



Agreed. but the thing is almost no one should be using dial-up in today's world unless they have ZERO choice as that's beyond ancient as even 10-15 years ago dial-up was quite bad as dial-up was pretty much died by the early-to-mid 2000's. in my area we had hi-speed internet in the year 2000 (I have been online since 1995).

the modern internet just requires too much bandwidth for dial-up to be usable and load stuff within a reasonable time frame.

hell, even 500KB of web page data, which I imagine many sites use comfortably more than that, would take you a minimum of 83 seconds to initially load and could be closer to 100 seconds (i.e. 1min10sec).

but ill give you this... you must be a VERY patient person to deal with dial-up on the modern internet

p.s. sorry for the novel
