Official Luthiers Forum!

I’ve tested my phone, my wife’s phone, two locations. OLF loads super slow on mobile, just fine on desk top. Is it just me?

Yep just you.

Sent from my spy phone

No, not just you. I have experienced it, too.

You guys are using Tapatalk right?

No, I just come directly to the website. Interestingly, I am not experiencing the problem on my iPad. I don’t access the OLF from my phone very often, so it is not a huge impediment for me. I’m mostly a laptop and iPad user.

Slooooooooooowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

On iPhone an iPad....

Won't load in Safari. Chrome for iPad works fine, and no problem on my desktop machines.

Recently became unusable on MacBook Safari or Chrome. Tapatalk on iPhone works fine.

I'm on Chrome with PC and it's working fine. Not so good on my Android with Tapatalk but still plenty usable - I think the slowdown there is due to my crappy phone, a Motorola G6.

Not just you - unusable on my iPhone as well.

Works fine for me on old Samsung android. I'm not using that tap talk thing.

I sure am getting a lot more luthiering done!

Surfing is *not* building...

Very slow on both my Windows/Chrome computers. Almost to the point where I don't bother.... Both run a McAffee checker in the background, haven't tried disabling it.

Been working fine on Galaxy note 9 with tabatalk.

Has been very slow on my ipad (using Safari), for about 10 days now. So slow it is almost unusable.
But on my PC it is fine.

So slow on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac with Safari it is basically unusable. Will try tapatalk. Too bad if this is permanent.

For quite a while now, OLF has been very slow on my desk top, which is hard wired, not wifi. About 15-16 seconds to load. This doesnt happen with other web sites.

On my iphone pages load promptly. Not sure what to make of it

Unusable on my iPad with Safari or chrome. or Firefox. just got on with my Windows computer running Firefox but loads very slow
all other sites I visit are working fine.
Oh well, getting more done in the shop lol!

Suddenly, POOF!

It seems to be working normally again - now to figure out how to not check it once an hour....

No go on my desktop (Chrome), tablet or phone (Safari) for several days now. Tried Firefox on my desktop and here I am. The upside to switching browsers is that Firefox just alerted me that it is blocking the OLF from tracking me. So, you know, there's that.

We have ended up with two threads on this. See my remarks on “what am I doing wrong”. Not that it explains it. Dave

I found how to fix this, following Dave and Barry's suggestions on that other thread. There seems to have been some configuration changes at the server end a few weeks ago. There is now at least two versions of the OLF accessible on the web. My saved link was taking me to a place that no longer worked well. I just deleted my saved links, searched OLF through Google and got a new site that works fine, and saved that new link.

+1 on that method.

Well dead pleased to have it back to normal. Would hate to lose this. D

Wow, that should have been a huge flashing sticky banner. I had frankly given up on this place but thought I would give one more try.
