Default Re: Someone PM me if 2+2 gets apparently fixed for more than 3 hours

I don't know who to forward this to, but it's almost certainly a problem with their server's cookie handling. About 90% of the time, these slowdowns can be immediately remedied by clearing cookies. Plus the fact that IE works better than FF with this problem. FF has always had problems with cookies. I've been experiencing this problem for probably 8 months, but it has been worse the past few days.

I agree FF has had very poor cookie handling in the past (as well as memory leaks...worst one was not releasing mem used for tabs after they closed) but I thought many of those issues were fixed in 2.0.

I just jumped back on 2+2 about an hour ago...next time 2+2 slows to a crawl/times out, I'll fire up IE, but I'm pretty sure it was a server-side problem this time (the past few days).

Edit: just had a minor delay in FF....fired up IE and it took just as long before forumserver responded. will keep IE going and refresh it next time(s) the forumserver chokes.
