Anybody else having the site load painfully slow?

Yes, for about a week or two. Must be all the spam.....

Yep, same. And it's not a network issue - ping is fine. Rick, you need to talk to your server people.

It's been more like a month and a half for me that the site has been slow. I usually hit load and walk away to do something else before I look to see if it loaded...sometimes I get admin error messages.

I think Mary is actually at the PanAm games (judging from her Facebook status).

Yep, super slow for me too.

Was for me then I allowed for cookies and all that other jazz and it made it faster.....

Work computer what do I care...right!

At home I can't get the page to load unless I use firefox and then only the front page will load. No forums.

Same for me won't load most times and when it does it is real slow. Most times I just give up and go to another site to get my fix.

It's been very slow for a long time. I do the same thing, click on something and then do something else and check back later.

Rick is en route between Ohio and the Keys so will be mia for a bit. I think they are stopping off at a regatta this weekend and then back to Key Largo.

There IS a flaw in that statement you know.........

Sorry for the bad service. My tech has had other major issue with my store which was down for a week. This is killing me.
Set that up on a new system and needs to set this up on a new system. He is working on it.
Ticked off about the service -- but he has been awesome over the years.

Not anymore man! Amazing difference today.

Not so good here yet. This was at the bottom of the page

The difference is due to the traffic signal down the street being red or green for west bound traffic.

I have been in the web industry since 1997. I have never seen a site or server that doesn't eventually crap out.

moving to a new area with improved abilities. Over my head.

As I said, working on it, and moving the site to a new virtual server. Then am looking at upgrading the forum again. Cross your fingers as upgrades are not always fun.

A bus load of drunk gamblers on their way home from Atlantic City ran off the road, sheared off the traffic signal pole and finally came to a stop half way into the local Hooters.
