Is Forum running slow ?
I am on a dial up connection and accept slower speeds. However, in the past the forum has been snappy in response. When I logged on last night about 6pm things were slow. It took up to 30 seconds to view a thread. Then another 30 seconds to go back to the forum to look at some other topic. Today, now at 1:40 EST, its still very slow. All other forums I visit and all other internet functions are their normal speed.
Nothing has changed on my end as far as hardware or software
Since most are on high speed, maybe this slow down has not been noticed.
Thanks

I'm seeing VERY slow response times - refreshing a page takes 15+ seconds (or just hangs). I thought it was my router, but a reset didn't change anything.

It must be the forums server. Its still very slow, almost unusable on dial up. I know its not my computer or connection as I have been on the web since supper. All other forums and pages I visit are running their normal snappy speed.......well snappy for dial up LOL.
I hope forum management is aware of this problem.

It's often difficult to compare one site to the next as the paths/routing to them from your ISP can (and almost always is) completely different and run through different backbone providers. There are a lot of variables between one site and the next, some of which beyond the control of the site management.
That said, there are often different types of slow. Is the slow isolated to page rendering (when you click on the link, the requested page is slowly displayed) or is it slow to retrieve the requested action before you see anything on your screen (you see a long pause of "waiting for forums.corvetteforum.com before it appears the request is accepted)? Bandwidth and server load are issues that can cause speed issues but appear in different forms of "slowness".

"slow to retrieve the requested action before you see anything on your screen (you see a long pause of "waiting for forums.corvetteforum.com before it appears the request is accepted)?"
Being on a slow dial up, remote in the mountains, is a way of life. However, when something happens that a forum really slows down, its very noticeable. People on high speed might not even notice such a slow down. Hopefully, tomorrow all will return to what I have seen as normal.

This time I see a similar symptom: The page begins to open - I see the top banner and the CF menu bar, but the rest of the page waits about 15 seconds to fill. Sometimes it *never* fills and a IE8 Refresh is needed. Other times, I wait 12-15 seconds and the page fills all at once - not a trickle of info, just *bang*, everything is there.

Logged on this morning and after 2 days of running slow, the forum is back to its normal dial up 'snappy' speed. If management changed the spun muffler bearing in the server, many thanks LOL !
