It is taking hours to get a reply text area to display on my screen, but not when I start a new thread

http://developers.curl.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=2003 - this has still not loaded up for me for the past one hour !

Is there any IE settings I might have skipped?

Obviously, that is not the kind of performance we want. Let me see how long this reply takes to see its a server-side issue. 6:18 CT

Ok. No problem for me as the response came up 4 seconds after I hit "Post Message". Can you try it again and see if it works for you now? Maybe it was a glitch at the server side. If it doesn't work send me an e-mail and the version of your browser and operating system and I'll talk to our host provider (also make sure your cookies are turned on).

Hi,

It is not when I hit the "Post Message" the server takes its own sweet time, but when I hit the "Reply" Reply to this message button of an existing thread of discussions.

I wildly believe that this has something to do with loading the RichTextEditor, though, I am no where sure. Loading the RichTextEditor takes hours!

I am having an IE privacy setting of 'Medium' and am using an IE with version 7.0.5730.11 and Windows XP version 2002 as operating system.

Thanks

When I entered this reply, the editor window took about 5 seconds to come up. This is longer than I would like, for sure, but it sounds a lot less bothersome than what you've experienced. One thing that I've done, which you might want to try, is that I have stopped using the Rich Text editor as my default editor. If you switch over to the Plain Text editor and then click the link toward the top right that says "Always use this editor," our server will remember your choice and every time after that, when you start to post or reply to a message, you will start out in the Plain Text editor. You might want to try that and see whether the performance that you experience gets any better.

I'm assuming that this problem has been solved.

Works fine for the Palin Text editor. Thanks
