I'm having a lot of problems too.
I can't insert links (URL). GTP freezes when I try. I can hardly upload photos. And other slow working problems.
Firefox
I'm trying to upload a screenshot and it is not possible.
I'll try that.@kikie I know it's a bit of a cliché, but have you tried switching your modem/router off for awhile? Creating a new connection to your provider often helps in fixing problems.
Tried it and didn't change a thing.
Please check the link that I posted in my first reply to this thread and share your "colo" value.Have this happening off and on (mostly on) for me as well for the past month. Good 3-5 seconds before the site does anything, across multiple internet connections and multiple devices (all running Firefox/Waterfox, though).
The Christmas decorations are just three image files and one line of JavaScript; they could not affect your experience on the site like this.It is only on GTP, since the Christmas decoration, that all the problems started. Every other single website that I visit, works perfectly.
Edit: I have to refresh constantly.
Have you installed any browser plugins recently that might have permissions to interfere with or modify the web pages you visit? Have you tried using the site with another browser on your computer, or have you tried accessing the site on another device? What is that experience like?
Oops, I didn't read that post of yours. I went straight to @IfAndOr's post because of the "alert".Please look at the questions and troubleshooting suggestions from my post above:
No, I'm afraid not. There are no issues with the site infrastructure. The Amsterdam access point that you're connecting to is operating normally according to the network provider, and I was able to confirm this by connecting to Amsterdam directly. Even with the data making the round-trip to Europe from the US, everything was fast for me.
Some of the problems, too, sound like they are things that are happening locally on your computer, like not being able to paste links. Such an action has nothing to do with the site code (and there have been no changes to the site code for several months now), which would indicate a problem with your browser or PC. Have you installed any browser plugins recently that might have permissions to interfere with or modify the web pages you visit? Have you tried using the site with another browser on your computer, or have you tried accessing the site on another device? What is that experience like?
Yesterday, I found the add-on causing the problem. It was a youtube download add-on. Disabling this add-on made GTP as fast and properly working as before. Enabling this add-on and all problems started again.Great to hear you are getting closer to the source of the problem, @kikie.
Firefox add-ons update themselves automatically in the background, so you never really know when one of them may start causing problems even if you didn't make any changes yourself.
I would recommend disabling each add-on, one-by-one, until the problem stops and you have identified the bad actor.
