The site runs very quickly for me (much faster than the old design), but I'm getting nearly all the same problems as everyone else.  If I click on 'news' the page will load, but the news won't.  Sometimes it will only load old articles from December of last year.

The forums play up a lot, too.  The same thing happens when I click on a topic or forum board - sometimes it will load, other times not.  Today it is particularly bad.

Also, a couple of days ago I was getting that 'Internet Explorer cannot open this page.  Operation aborted' message, but that seems to be fixed now anyway.

Hope this information can help in some way.

From about 4:30 - 5:30 pm CST today, the forums, for me, would take about 20x longer to load up.  In some cases, Firefox gave me an error saying I wasn't connected to the internet, but I was loading pages from other websites fine at the exact same time.

Also, there seem to be some bugs or glitches in the Forum Search.  Most of the time when I press search from the community main page, the results page always shows up with no results or a "No results found" message.  It just gives me a blank user input text box and have the Board Title button selected, like I haven't even tried a search yet.  Sometimes while I'm in that page and I do a search, the page loads up just the way before.  It takes me about 3-4 tries to get a search down.

Yes, that was incredibly agitating...the blank post/board thing has to be the worst though.

Wow, it happened this post. -_-

Well when browsing in the past 10-20 minutes, I had to refresh the pages 22 times.

Come on GameSpot. You guys are a company. A big company. Big companies make money. Money hires workers. Workers fix. Workers fix forums. Fixed forums make happy people. Happy people means more hits. More hits means more money. Money continues the cycle.

Is it that hard to figure it out? Fix the goddamn forums!

I bet you're talking about me? lolol I just really am fed up with this. Since I saw a mod being angry I figured I could too. :P
Plus I've had a looong, stressful day.

Back on topic (lol)....
    As for other forum issues, I've only got the pages no loading and occasionally, "image.gamespotcdn.com" never stops loading something on the page. And the replies/threads load slowly....Very slowly.

For me the forums have mysteriously been working for a few days. Until today when the nothing-loading-bug struck with full force, forcing me to practice my F5 pressing skills.

We've sat patiently through the bugs these last few months.  I think now people are really starting to get annoyed.  I hope some of these major forum issues can be resolved.

I'm going to come flat out and say it. Before the redesign, these forums were beautiful and you felt a great connection to the community. Now, traffic has been lowered, the server messes up ALL THE TIME, and the resolution only caters to those who still have computer monitors from 1998. Please fix this horrible travesty.

Please keep the topic with the forum issues. If anyone else is having these problems, we're interested in your story since it seems like not everyone is having the same exact problem at the same time. Please also list the times when this occurs. Thanks! :D  

JodyR

I get the errors everytime I log in.  Anywhere from 7:00 AM morning to 2:00 AM at night EST.  I would say 1 in 3 page retrieval return something missing.  From profiles pages missing blogs and friends blog lists to Forum returning empty pages or lost posts.  The extent of issues is large.

It's all true, especially about the communites part. I wonder if they have any idea how many communities they have DESTROYED! Many UCB and union communities have been totally destroyed and left for dead thanks to their beautiful efforts to provide us with more functionality. Was it worth it to make so many people so unhappy, and ruin so many great communities with their long down times, errors, etc...? Absolutely NOT!

At least you can see the signatures, if I turn them on IE goes up to 100% CPU usage and hangs...I still cannont figure out why it is doing that.

I think that an announcment on the main community page ensuring everybody that this is a top priority issue, and everything that can be done to fix the problem is being done. I'm sure that will cut down on a lot of the worrying and whining about the problem.

Although I'm sure that there are other announcements lined up to include, I feel that this is more important than announcing that On the Spot is on.

I really wish Gamespot would just shut the site down for a few days. that way they wouldn't hav eto deal with any new info or uses online, and they could run a super gambit of stuff at the servers and figure out why these problems are happening.
I'm geting sick of em personally.

I agree.... because i see "technically difficulties" alot when i go to the main page - I really don't care about On the Spot, and if I did, i would already know about it. What I do care about as a forum user, is what is being fixed and how long will it take to fix it - and if it's being fixed at all.  It would help make users feel better about the forum users, and would allow for more feedback as to users issues.

I figure if these forums they made are causing so much trouble, and they seem to be difficult to fix - so they should just use the same type that SomethingAwful uses and whatnot....

Same here, the last few updates have just been promoting tourneys and OTS.

They need to let others know that they are working on it (well I don't want them to lie though). They are still isolating themselves by posting dumb announcements about OTS and not the FORUMS because it's the FORUMS ANNOUNCEMENTS, not the GS announcements.

Yeah I'm really tired of GameSpot announcements under Forum Announcements.

I used to visit the GameSpot main site every single day, but I've stayed away from it since the redesign.  I only care about the forums now, which is why I hope they fix them ASAP.

The only reason I stick around through all this mess is because of the unions.

I would rather have them destroy the current forums and rebuild the forums the way they were. At first it was just the speed of the site,but now it's contant glitches,bugs,errors,black pages,and whatnot. I didn't like the way the new forums looked when it started and I still don't. Ever since the redesign there has been constant bugs,and it seems like new ones keep popping up. I say go ahead and shut down the forums a few days and fix it,or better yet,redesign it again to something better that will actually work properly. I understand that glitches and bugs happen,but something should be done about,instead of going through it for weeks.

Whats really stupid is the fact that most of the bugs and glitches happen a lot less when your not logged into your account so let me get this straight... the people who arent members get better service and less problems than the people who are. Oh ok that makes sense thanks for clearing it up. idiots
