Neopets Lag Issues
I've been experiencing strange lag issues for a while on neopets and I'm absolutely clueless as to what's been causing it. I initially thought it was a computer or internet connection related issue but seeing how it only occurs on Neopets.com, I don't think that's the problem. We just had our connection upgraded and a brand new modem installed, yet no improvement at all. Now, what I mean by "lag" is that I click and it seems like the page is going to load... but it just doesn't. The progress bar doesn't move and it eventually leads to an error page. If I hit back and try again, all is well. If I click again while it's "stuck", it will go through normally. While it may seem like a mild inconvenience at best, the "lag" becomes a serious problem when restocking from main shops, namely the Magic Shop. While the lag can be easily fixed anywhere else with a second click, when it comes to the Magic Shop the lag evolves into pure evil. Every time it looks like I just successfully restocked myself a potion, it freezes for several seconds before finally processing and, obviously, it's already too late. If I didn't get the potion, it takes me to the "nope, not quick enough" screen right away. I thought it may just be unlucky timing at first but seeing how it does it every single time... I don't call this bad luck anymore. Ever since this lag issue showed up, I have been unable to restock anything from the magic shop due to this freezing issue, and that's by far the last shop I wanted to be banned from =( I really want to be able to restock from the Magic Shop again and so I turn to you, NeoMallers community, in hopes that someone here has an idea as to what's going on. Why has neopets been so laggy lately for me? Why does the problem worsen in the magic shop? How can I fix it? What is the secret of the caramilk? Thank you for reading =)

I've been finding it laggy as well for the last three or four days. I thought it might be my internet connection, but everything else seems pretty much normal... and even when other things are lagging, Neo is lagging ultra bad :P. So it might be the site itself. Let's wait and see what other people have to say... Edit: Oh, and I've been noticing the same thing. The page seems to load... and then brings up an error screen. -nods-

I haven't been on neo lately so haven't noticed anything wrong apart from the other day. It was about two days ago and I was having lagging problems but only with neo. It must be the site.

I've noticed the username and searching lag issues as well, it shows every now and then. That's not what's bothering me though, nor are the error messages, although I'm glad to see it's the site itself and not just me. What's upsetting me is this lag I'm picking up in the Magic Shop that freezes my screen at the haggling process and makes it impossible for me to restock anything from there. I have yet to see anyone report the same problem so it's got to be on my end somehow. I don't understand what could be causing this nor how it could be fixed. ..::Cerbie's Collectables::.. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=cerberus_neo

So I thought the problem had somehow solved itself. Today I experienced no lag whatsoever on Neopets, no error messages or loading getting stuck. Figured I'd try my luck at the Magic Shop and while it took me all day, I finally did it right just a few moments ago... and there was that freeze again. No matter how many times I click, it refuses to go through and has me wait at least 5 seconds, which is plenty of time for someone else to buy the potion. It's like it cannot retrieve data of a successful restock from the server, I just get the "waiting on neopets.com" notice at the bottom of my browser. If anyone has any clue as to what could be causing this, please do let me know. I'm getting desperate ;_; ..::Cerbie's Collectables::.. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=cerberus_neo

Does it only do it on the morphing potions, or does it do it to the healing potions and other junk stuff in there? I don't want to cause a commotion but I believe ABers will slow the processing for those also going after the items. That may not be the problem (although the way the BD chat talks it probably is the problem) but it's a thought.

Hmm... I haven't thought about checking if it's the whole shop or just the highly sought after items. I'm restock banned at the moment but will be checking as soon as it's over. I was able to restock morphing potions before without any lagging issue, has there been a sudden surge of ABers lately? Sure hope not :( It does sound like it could be the problem though, thanks for pointing that out. ..::Cerbie's Collectables::.. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=cerberus_neo
