    Whenever I attempt to use the fields at the bottom of a thread to enter in a reply, or when I bring up the edit post dialogue box, there is a serious lag in the time it takes between typing the words, and when it actually appears on the screen. So for instance, if I type this sentence into the field at the bottom of the thread, I'll finish typing it, then I have to wait for 3 minutes for the sentence to actually appear, and to be able to edit or continue typing more.

    I'm a fairly fast typist, so that might be part of it. But I don't have this problem nearly as bad when I create a new thread, or click on "more options" when posting a reply in an existing thread. I do not have this issue on any other websites.

    Just a technical issue that I thought might be of interest here.

    I've been having the same problem.

    However, for me it happens on other websites as well, which makes me think it's a problem with my PC, and not the sites. I've not been able to find an accurate reason or an effective fix. Although i don't think the problem for me is only with this site, perhaps someone here can help me get this bug worked out. The lag on my PC is around 45 seconds.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you refrerring to typing from a computer or a phone? We'll need to know this.

    However, I haven't experienced the problems you speak of nor have I heard of any others having this issue.

    It seems to happen no matter what computer I'm on, I've tried several.

    In direct answer to your question, it happens both on traditional desktop PCs, and on Windows based laptops with Windows 7/8. It seems to happen in both Chrome and IE. I haven't checked Firefox.

    It's actually been happening for some time, I just got around to mentioning it now.

    In my case I'm on an HP DV9000 with Windows Vista. I've not had the opportunity to try another PC.

    Try deleting your temporary internet files, cookies, history, etc and see if that helps.

    Clearing my cache doesn't seem to do much.

    I've double checked today and it appears to happen only on a Windows 8 laptop through Chrome. It may just be the individual laptop I was using, so it might be a good idea for me to run CCleaner and Malwarebytes.

    I have the same issue frequently. Part of it I think is due to the fact that the site (like most message boards) is a resource hog. The longer you leave it up and the more clicks without a new session the more it slows down. I've got in the habit of closing out my browser session and starting a new one every hour or so or the site slows to a crawl and the fan starts spinning on my computer so fast it sounds like its gonna blow up.
