website acting funny

[m3wse]

Hi - I switched ISP from pipex to Be internet and some weird stuff is happening with the rev3 site. The homepage loads mostly, though some of the images are a bit slow, and also the forums load fine, but the show pages and blog don't load and just hang there as if they are waiting for responses. I don't understand why this is happening. Surely it should be some or all of the site not working!

Check out this site: http://www.speedtest.net . You more than likely have a crappy connection. You are using the same web browser you always have, correct?

As I said, the weird thing is different bits of the site behave different. I don't have this problem with any other sites (not digg.com or pownce.com)

As I said, the weird thing is different bits of the site behave different. I don't have this problem with any other sites (not digg.com or pownce.com)You are probably having issues with the parts that are coming from bitgravity (the "caching" provider for Rev3). Did you update your DNS settings when you changed ISPs?

It could be that you are trying to go via a horrendous route due to the ISP change.

Try going to a command prompt and typing:

C:\>ipconfig /flushdns

This will clear your DNS cache. Its an odd command, but sometimes resolves this sort of issue (I sometime need to do it swapping from connection via EVDO and my broadband network).

nice idea, doesn't seem to have worked though. there are a lot of incomplete page loads as well... like the forums will load, but then the images will suddenly stop loading... One think I just noticed is I clicked on a link, and the page title appears, but then nothing else loads. It seems to go into a "waiting" phase after loading some of the html... ooh, looking at source, the page is loading but firefox is not rendering it, still waiting for content from the webserver... but then clicking on a different link produces a white screen with no content loading... Sometimes I have to close the tab then reopening it helps. It's almost like the server is never quite closing the connection...

Would edit last post, but can't because that page hangs in the same way... I noticed the following at the end of the source:
<li><a href="http://revision3.com/webdrifter">Web Drifter</a></li>

<li><a href="http://revision3.com/xlr8rtv">XLR8R TV</a></li>

<li class="archive"><a href="http://revision3.com/shows/archive">Show Archive</a></li>
<li><a href="http://r

yes, it's stopping mid-line of code sometimes! No other site does this so I am confused by the matter. Both IE and Firefox do this on several computers, but using the computers at school seems to work... For some reason something seems to be timing out too soon... and it's started happening on these forums as well...

I think I might be onto something in relation to this. When I tried using wget to pull the content, I get this:

Any ideas?
