Excellent idea! Troubleshooting can be fun and we always learn wonderful things.

Interesting! How are you connecting to the net? Who is yr ISP? Which browser do you use? How fast is yr system?

Well, for whatever it may be worth, I might first download and test Pale Moon. I used to be a fan of FireFox too, until it became bloated and over written---apps do morph over time. I then tested and fell in love with Pale Moon...related to FireFox, but much cleaner, leaner, faster. Yes, free.

In your case, I might also try connecting to the net directly via ethernet, bypassing yr router, and just see if there is any difference.

I would also get the free version of MBAM, keep it updated and run it every day to get rid of any little insects.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Protect, Detect & Remove Malware From Your PC

Also, the free version of CCleaner, run that every day to clean yr cache and get rid of junk files, cookies, etc.

CCleaner - Standard

As usual, make sure you uncheck any of the add ons in the free versions while installing.

I am just as besotted by computers, building them, troubleshooting/fixing them... as I am by orchids.....and believe me, there are infinite snake oil apps out there trying to pass for otherwise.

forum does and has always done for me exactly what Ray described in his original post.

I thought it was wireless lag time, but I've been using ethernet exclusively and still find the same problems. Something as simple as clicking on page 2 of a thread will have me hanging for so long I have to walk away and come back. Or I go to another site and browse for a while then return, sometimes to the uploaded page, sometime not. Glad it's not just me and that we're talking about it.

It's really becoming unsustainable.

A little more context - for me, the lag (which could continue indefinitely) almost always seems to be when I've finished reading page 1 of a thread, and when I click on page 2, it stalls out.

I suspect something is up with either the DB queries, the table indexing, or the data model itself (too many tables?).

I'd be happy to contribute some $ toward the resolution if there is someone who can put a plan together and carry that plan forward. Something an IT consultant should be able to fix or improve relatively inexpensively.

I have recently notices a trend, as well, similar to derv's, but with closer timing: whether using Tapatalk on the iPad, or browser on the PC (confirmed with Chrome, Firefox, or whatever MS now calls theirs), I go to "New Posts" first and select one to read, and no problem, but I'd I the "go back" and select another, the forum hangs for a very long time.

There must be some sort of process in OrchidBoard that isn't present in SlipperTalk or Orchid Forum. I never get this kind of churning on the other boards. That is accessing this board and other boards via Tapatalk.

When I go to Safari, this forum doesn't church like it does on Tapatalk.
