I'm having the same problem, sometimes the header will just load..
I have to refresh to load the whole page on occasions, maybe coding issues i don't know..
And if a page does load then the loading time takes ages, only this site not for any other sites so it's nothing to do with my ISP.

As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, the timeout for connections is set to be fairly low, so people on bad (slow/lots of packet loss) connections will see it happen once in awhile.

Also, to be honest, it's compounded by the fact that we are currently pegging our bandwidth during peak times, so some packet loss is happening because of that. We have an order in to expand bandwidth right now, so hopefully soon we should not hit bandwidth caps even at peak times.

Thanks Shawn for your reply, I appreciate it, and I'm sure everyone else does. Hope you can get it sorted ASAP thought because it is happening very frequently now.

Well it is only bad for them when it comes to newcomers not signing up, and also for people who are already registered but getting fed up of it. I know this website (especially the forum) gets HUGE traffic, that's the only reason I am a bit more patient, but I also know how important first impression is upon expanding a business - meaning DP could be taking big losses upon expanding their userbase.

I seem to get the impression that DP isnt really as monetized as it could be, heck if it were mine it would be about 3 times more advertising than it is at the moment, along with all sorts of add on products - but thats the beauty of DP and why its so popular.

OK so there are some occasional connectivity issues creeping in at the moment, but Im sure Shawn/Rob will add some more server capacity when it becomes an issue, in the meantime Im just grateful for having a great place to do business and exchange ideas!
