Just wondering if anyone else is experencing problems with pages loading at Rosity? Going from one page to another or from one section to another seems to be taking forever if they load at all. I'm on DSL and a friend is on cable in another state and he is having the same problems. If other people are having the same problems, why doesn't Rosity do something to fix it?

i'm having the same problem cherokee,some pages are even timing out they take so long,i'm on cable too,so glad its not just me :)

I've been having the same sort of problems all day. I reckoned they'd know about it and be fixing it. I can't access my gallery at all. Forum pages open if they feel like it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this uploads ok. I'm on DSL too and its worse than my old dial-up. No problems on other sites though. Anyone else? And er... whats happening?

I meant to mention. I'm not having any problems at any other site I go to (including poser related). It's just Rosity.

Yup, tis terrible here. Keep getting "Cannot find server" and similar shite. The whole site seems to be as stable as Charles Manson at the moment.

Been noticing the same thing the last three days or so. Even when the number of users is moderate. "Navigation cancelled" and so on.

Sam, the whole site seems to be screwed...everywhere on here is slow and it's been that way for awhile (not just today). Click a link or try to go to another page and it just site there.

Yes, I've had the "Navigation cancelled" window too.

Maybe disgruntled vendors have launched a DoS attack? :p

I sure hope not, Berserga. That would be stooping very low indeed, besides being a criminal act.

Same here getting botted, slow loading pages, errors ect. So it is not just you.

Same problems for me as well. Glad to see it's not just me. Gallery bots are the biggest problem. Won't open. Time outs.....everything everyone else noted.

Good, I'm glad it's not just me. Someone need to fix this..it's getting old and discusting especially when every other site is fast loading. This is almost worse than when I was on dialup.

yep, same here. I have cable connection and I sit here while it says Waiting on Renderosity. No problems any where else :)

No prblems here (from Germany). I visited the free stuff, the tutorials and this forum. No slow loading, no break down. shrug For what it's worth. Willy

Where I see the slowdown is: transfering data from marketplace.renderosity.com. The longest I've seen has been 230 sec to display a new page. Satellite connection.

Same problem here - and currently the Renderosity logo is missing from the header - well it was, just went to screen grab and it was there!

Same here, getting cheesed off trying to navigate this site! :o(

Duh! Me and my big mouth - now I'm having delays too. I'm in the forum now. 1500 users, not a really big bunch. That's strange. Willy

I'm in Germany too, jobcontrol. On DSL. And having problems the whole day and allover the site. It first noticed it this morning, when I tried to load Chohole's link in the Johnny Cash thread. Now it's evening and no better. Something is wrong with Rosity. Maybe they're updating s.th.?

Same in Holland (on cable) - pages timing out - even when I logged in just, I got the "page cannot be displayed" and had to start over!! In the galleries I am getting pages to load but then have no images, just blank spaces with the little red cross in the top left corner. Been like this since late last night.

Been ok up till today in the uk then this evening uk time snails pace on cable too

Im in uk as well and its really grinding to a halt at the moment.

this site is not slow, IT IS STATIONARY!

I noticed the slowdown last night and today its terrible.

been really awful for me to..pages not even loading or taking forever to load...reminded me of my ole dial up days...Im on cable.finally got so frustrated,just gave up for a few hours

Yup. Slow. Pages timing out. Banners and logos not displaying. Had to try a few times before I got into the page where you upload new market place items. The upload itself went smooth btw when I finally got there, but.. Something is not how it should be. But at the same time.. There are 1500-1700+ members online so it COULD be the cause. I seem to notice that whenever the "members online" is more than 1200 the site starts to get slower, then at 1500 it gets worse and anything above is just ridiculous...

Seems to me wrong configured firewall @renderosity blocking certain types of ICMP packets. Try: ping -l 1465 -f www.renderosity.com

I hope it's not a DOS attack by disgruntled people, but they may have altered the firewall in anticipation of a DOS attack.

Tim had mentioned something earlier about noticing some performance issues and taking a look into them. I haven't heard anything about what might be causing it. Probably just a cranky server. I doubt it's DOS attacks by merchants. The change in certain RMP policies may have people upset but I'd like to think people around here are more ethical than stooping to DOS attacks.

The site is overloaded with customers trying to download their purchase histories before the items get deleted by Merchants removing their stores....LOL

Dizzie... you MAY have a point there... Wonder what happens if a merchant closes his/her store? Will the downloads for things we've bought still be there? Or are they taking the customers as hostages?

There really shoving the furnitures. Marketplace has a whole new look.

I'm in the Uk and it's been running like a 3 legged donkey for me, since last night. It's now a little better than it was, but still very slow.

my guess is it's another way to make money...if they'll charge $10 for the banner ad then I wonder how much they are charging to get your advertisement on the Marketplace front page...:>0

Banners, making money...shoot, it's all that JUNK on every page that is slowing this thing down. When you go to the gallery, it doesn't just load the thumbnail image, it downloads the full size image. Images, banners, advertising, etc. aren't optomized for web use. I've seen it today run slower with fewer people online than with many. there is a clitch someone within the system and I don't think anyone knows where to look for it.

I've noticed this site being slow as well. maybe it's gremlins.

Attached Link: Site Slow

Also noticed it. I'm using DSL in Cali. -Mark

I've pretty much given up for today at Renderosity. Can't comment on any images in the galleries, forum messages very very slow to load up or don't. Very frustrating when other sites are fine. Hope they get it fixed quickly. :( Irene

W..h..a..t....d..o....y..o..u....m..e..a..n....s..l..o..w..?

Yep, pretty much given up on Rosity for today too. Took about 5 min to go from one page to the next..and forget about the gallery...s...l...o...w...just isn't the correct way to describe it.

Heck, this is the first I could get in today. I'm used to slow. I'm on dial-up and this site is ALWAYS slow for me compared to others. But I couldn't get anything until now. Guess I better keep my fingers crossed. I'm sure I won't stay in for long.

I'm in the UK and all day I've been getting an error page saying "too many connections". Thing is I've been here when many more members have been online and it hasn't been this slow. Do you think it could be a DOS attack, ie. denial of service..............is there a pissed off ex member having a go at the site? Catlin

The same here especially when posting comments.. DNS error or just nothing.. the whole day + half of the night.. ;P

Same problem here. I thought it was my lousy dial-up service which is usually the problem. Even posting messages I'm getting errors and thought it didn't post, but it did. Maybe the internet is slow on account of another virus attack.

Was slow as molasses this morning but seems fine now for me here. :D

The forums and the MP seem to be much better now, but still not as fast as they usually are. The galleries are still horrible. I'm still getting a "web site not found" error message half the time I try to access the galleries. When I do get in, it takes forever.

We are working on it. Thanks for your patience. tammy
