Forum Slow

I don't know if it's because we have heavier than normal traffic today, or if it's a software / hardware thing, but we are aware that there is a problem with the performance of the servers.

Techs are looking into it. Thanks for your patience!

I was just getting ready to post about this, I have noticed it for a couple days now.

I thought it was me, Yes slow.

Obviously too many lurkers searching for that elusive direction to the yellow brick road.

Just FYI...at one point I could not even refresh the "new posts" screen. All other pages on my browser refreshed just fine but the "new posts" ended up timing out a couple of times.

Works fine now, though!

Seems to be OK now! Tom Terrific does it again!

It seems OK now and we did make an adjustment, but we'll see how it goes tomorrow during the busy time (10:00 12:00 AM ET) before claiming victory.

I dont think it is fixed, just took me over 2 minutes to get on, after a couple failed tries also

(15 min later), seems to be better now.

The AutoTracker was probably updating. It virtually takes the site down while it runs - right about the time you posted. Most days I start it between 7:15 PM ET and 8:00 PM if I am around to do it, and it takes about 10 minutes to run.

I was going to post how slow the site was yesterday but noticed how many people were on. Just figured that was the problem so I logged off to help a little bit. Better luck today I hope.

It seems better today, but I usually blame our network here for any slow websites... we have 1500 people sharing dial-up... grrrr

SSLLOOoooow at 11:50 EDT! Seems to happen in spurts?

It seems "OK" to me compared to yesterday, but not great. Yesterday was bad. Also, looks like there are about 200-300 fewer people on today at this time compared to yesterday. Fridays are usually slower.
