2 minutes and 34 seconds from the time I hit the Post Reply button until the window popped up - It usually only takes seconds
Update - just after I posted the above, the forum spped improved dramatically

I am usually on here & with high speed, this new server is slow......very slow. I thought it might be just excess volume but this is beyond hit counts. I feel like I have dial up again......sorry guys

Some of us that live in the boonies don't have access to cable or DSL. Neither are available to me. I have satellite internet, not as fast as DSL or cable, but much faster than dial up. Servers seem a little faster....maybe.

Not sure yet. Maybe admins need to look at re-designing the filing system. e. g. Posts over 6 months or 12 months should go to a total diff section. Make an exact duplicate of sections except that those new sections would contain all posts over a certain age.

I'm confused. If you have a telephone, you have access to DSL. I have DSL and it uses my existing phone line. Unless you live so far out in the boonies you don't even have a telephone, then I understand.

Not true. I'm in the same situation, the phone companies don't offer DSL everywhere, and if they don't offer it, you ain't gettin' it! Luckily, in my area there's a company that offers high-speed internet service by wireless radio waves bouncing off of towers, so I'm covered, 'cause there's no cable out here either!

I have a phone, but I'm too far from a switching station to get DSL. I guess that you have to be within a certain distance, don't know what that distance is though.

understand that. I do have good cable (RR) but telephone out here sucks. I live at least 5 miles from cell service also. This area is also a radio dead spot for public safety communications. A 20 minuite wait for LE0 or EMS can be common. Mossberg 9 shot is very handy!

I have cable, but fyi, not all phone systems are created equal, some that are using older technology are not dsl compatible.
