I hate vanities, but I finally felt this needed to be discussed. Since it happens at two disparate locations and hardware, I know it's a Freerepublic issue.

It’s not just you. When it peaks I just go do other things.

Are you sure it isn’t the Russians? (sorry. someone was going to make this ridiculous comment.)

I have the same page loading problem most of the time. No similar issue with other websites.

titles vs titles + some body text is a choice on the page.

Same problem here, and I have really fast internet. It has been like this for me since the site went down a few weeks ago.

This issue started when some (broken) hardware was replaced at the server co-location facility.

It started about a week ago when FR had a hardware failure.

I’ve noticed some page load issues since the big outage last weekend.

They may have changed some of the timing tolerances internally.

Sometimes a partial page displays a few lines then pauses then finishes refreshing.

I think FR’s infrastructure is in a large part home grown. It doesn’t work like a lot of the more commercial sites. That’s not a complaint but just an observation. Considering the overall response time and the volume of information and history it’s quite an accomplishment.

Yeah the page loading has been a little wonky for a few days.

I presumed it was some sort of a glitch out at the server farm.

Yes, FR has been a little sloggy here also but not bad and the pages eventually load with perhaps a 10-15 second delay.

I can, I think, help you with this: “when I log in, I only see titles”

At the top of the main forum page where there are the three tabs, “Articles,” “Activity,” and “Comments,” you are probably clicked on articles if you’re seeing the article titles. Now note just below those tabs you will see

Brevity: Headers | « Text »

You want to make sure “Text” is selected. Otherwise you will only see the titles. which appears to be one of your complaints.
