slow forums

Has anyone else had problems with the forums being VERY slow? I was just wondering if it might be something on my end, or if other people are also having this problem. All other pages seem to load fine.

Mine are still very slow. Ken knows of the problem and is trying to figure out what the problem is. If you go to "User Feedback, Comments,etc" (just below this board) you will see it discused. I couldn't complete the instructioins Ken was asking us to do (software glitch)but if you can, do it and send the results to Ken and see if we can get back to normal.

I sent an email to our hosting facility last night letting them know that if they can't figure it out, I'm moving our server elsewhere.

Has it gotten better? I didn't get any word from our hosting facility this evening but I've noticed that site traffic is up. Unfortunately, I cannot duplicate the problem with my own connection so I'm relying on feedback from the users! If its not better, hang in there --- I'll make sure its fixed one way or another!

Mine is better, still slow at times but not like before. I hope its fixed. Visiting was getting to be a chore.
I know your tired of hearing this, Ken, but i'll say it anyway. "Great Site, keep up the good work!"

It was better this evening but still on the slow side. This afternoon was impossible, I just gave up after about 15 minutes of reloading and swearing. The above is based on Pacific Coast time. Speed usually improves a little after you
Easteners hit the sack.
