OK, I found that that part that says "Time Wait N/A" is when the forum is timing out and your system is trying again and again to post something or find something on the monkey. I've noticed a lag between post and posted and vBulletin is working on that. A new version is out in Release candidate form and I'm going to see about getting it. Try to 'refresh' cports after you successfully make a post and I bet you only have 1 port open. I did at least using Firefox.
Each time I sign in, there is something that "hangs up" in the openeing of the system. I keep seeing the note: "I'm Baaaaack" then it just sticks there, and goes on and on and on.....I have to close the main window, then re-open it, to get the system to let me in. Don't ask me.... I hit these boxes when they don't do what I say! (Wonder IF that's why I am now on my 8th computer in 5 years?) LOL! Bill
It may be the shoutbox that is hanging you up dragonfly. As the system loads the archive, it slows the system. Try going to your User CP and, in options, deselect "chatbox" See if that helps
