Run a trace route from your system to boards.elitefitness.com, That will show the ping times to every system enroute to elite. If some of the systems at the beginning of the report show numbers significantly higher than those at the end of the report then the bottleneck is likely somewhere on your route to elite and not elite itself. You need to remember the internet is a bunch of interconnected systems and usually you go through a series of them before reaching your destination, if any one of them is slow your response times will be slow, not matter how fast your system is or the system you are connecting to.

Regardless of whether I'm using dsl at work or modem at home, Elite has always been the slowest, by far, of all the boards I frequent.

And it likely has 6x as many users on at any given time as well. Hardware and bandwidth cost money, it blows my mind how many people come here and whine about a free service.

it could be a couple of issues BUT it is a free service with great info. i have noticed a couple of slowdowns but better the last week +

- do a tracert at cmd line to see if you are getting hung up on a router someplace

- clean up your computer and make sure it is running smooth.

- get latest browser version and service pack for OS

- volume at peak times and volume of existing messages can cause slowdowns.

- disc boards don't always have to most optimized index to search especially one this active

The boards seem slow to me at times as well. Nothing I can't live with, but I would agree that they are slower than some.

Not everything is free in life bro's........spend the twelve bucks and u can look at some hookers in the picture section.

sometimes I can't even get the site to come up..a blank page that says "unable to select database"comes up

I have 300k cable modem...my computer is 512 RAM, 1.2 GHZ processor, with 80MB of memory (just thought I'd throw that in)...anyway, I occassionally have this problem. I think the sight has too much traffic at times and takes a while to process.

Once again, is it the site or some bottle neck between you and this site? Why dont you guys start posting trace routes with these complaints, because until you can show its this site, you dont even know if your complaining to the correct people.
