Slow loading forum and main site

[Blacky]

Yesterday it was also slightly slow for me at times. Today everything is going smoothly.
It only needs to see Shannon's fiery sword to correct itself.

For me, it's the exact opposite. Yesterday it worked like a charm, today it's slow and clunky...

On Thursday, the server just did some scheduled maintenance on their control panel. It claims that it is FIXED. I am wondering if they are actually still working out any new bugs.

At 3:30 am EDT this morning, very fast.

May change later in the day.

High traffic at certain hours?

High traffic at certain hours?Jenny.

That is more or less my theory, or at least part of it.

Incredibly slow this morning for me. Other sites seem relatively normal, so don't think it is an issue with my PC or ISP.

[Shannon SteelSlave]

Same here. Actually gave an error message.

[Gregovic]

Yep, SUPER slow for me as well.

If everyone could please post their current issues here, that would be most helpful.

When it takes longer to load a page with my 50 Mb/s DSL than it took with my 56k modem, it's really bad.

I play Solitaire while it loads.

Faster today after very slow and sometimes disconnected yesterday.

Back to normal today.

Mail server work shouldn't affect the site, yet it seems to be intermittently very slow for me today.
