I think we get spoiled and want the site to be lightning fast all the time. Think back a few years at how things on the computer used to be. It's annoying, but it's not such a bad deal when you think about it.( even if you do start to shiver when the thing stalls.....................)

As long as we don't stop all together it will have to work. The speed isn't the annoying part as much as clicking post and your screen freezes or 10 minutes later it posts or give you so deal about reporting the problem. It seems like it is more frequent since the buy out.

Yes, it was no dream.
Got no way of checking, though.

as per FTE Ken last week, internet brands is having some growing pains with it's server, because the advertisements and forums are on the same server. this sometimes will overload the server.
they are aware of the problem, and are working on separating the forums and ads to different servers or something like that. it is supposed to be fixed after the holidays.

In the spirit of positiveness, I am revisiting this thread to announce that the problems I was experiencing have improved a good bit! I'm guessing others are seeing improvment, also. That trainhorn ad, though, is burning out my retinas. Merry Christmas!
