Default this site slow?

Gee it seems that CF is really slow these days since the new updates have been placed. Is it just me?

I have Fiber Optic, but I have to agree the CF is running slow at times. For me, the layout is inconsistent as well. Seems to be getting better though.

Very slow! The home page takes about 5 seconds to load up. Generally, the site is slow in comparison to other forums.

MUCH slower right now, considerably slower than usual.

Has anyone noticed the "new" search functions ???

It does NOT default to searches by date and you can't use the "back" button to return to the original search after you select a topic.

NOT nearly as user freindly as before.

They changed something visually...not used to it yet, and on my laptop, i have to scroll left to right for EVERYTHING. Annoying.

Speed is fine though.

I found this site to be slow as well as the NASA site. I change my browser to Firefox instead of Explorer and that seem to help.

Same here. Slow. Plus the screen is to big for my monitor. That's really annoying.

Glad to hear it is slow for others. I was beginning to think it was my brand new MacBook Pro and I was getting ready to take it back to Best Buy!

As much as it would be great to think so, it's really about selling ads and visitor analytics. All that behind the scenes stuff really adds to latency. I'm sure they are working on tuning things to correct what they can.

It's slow

All the other forums are going at the same speed.
