Default Slow.........

Anyone else having problems with accessing or very slow speed with this site? I could not even get on last night and now this morning it takes way too long to do anything. Only an issue with this site as all my other INTERNET sites are fine!

Default forum falling apart?

No answers to any question regarding very poor forum setup. I heard that they are reformulating due to new ownership. No replies to inquires. Hell of lousy PR. If this continuess, there goes the forum! Regards, Abe G

I too have been having trouble with this site. It was so slow yesterday that I was getting errors instead of a connection. Faster today but still way too slow.

Ken,

IT'S BEEN TERRIBLE!! I don't know what's going on but whatever it is "it ain't working". Watching paint dry is more entertaining than this has been the last couple days. I was able to at least get linked to the site now which was better than before but still took FOREVER to load. Listening Mr. Tech Guy???

Seems this site has gotten worse over the past few weeks. This is by far the slowest site and too bad because so many of us enjoy it and look forward to reading posts and helping each other.

I've also noticed a recent decline in performance of the site. I attribute it to all of the adds loading.

There was a sticky posted last night, which is no longer posted, that stated they were working on the "slow" problem. Guess they didn't get it resolved last night. Slooooow h3ll, stopped is more like it.

yep. over the last few days the situation has been getting worst rather than better

to many times now all I get are error messages that it can't connect or if it does connect it takes forever!

i'm on very fast broadband connection but on this site I might as well be back in 1986 on a 1200baud dialup modem for all the speed I get.

If this doesn't get fixed soon it's not worth the time to come here anymore.

Having been out of town for a long weekend, I was looking forward to catching up on the forum last night - finally gave up and went to bed without my "fix".

Yes, slow or not being able to get in last night. A standard process for implementing new systems and changes is to post an issue list and status. This informs the users as to know issues and what the status is. For management it gives them a way to collect user issues and for priorities to be set for correction. The known issue status board allows users to know if a particular issues is known and when it will be addressed. Just a thought !

The advertising sponsors should let IB know they are not happy !

Ok, one minute it's back to semi-ok, the next minute, takes forever to open.
