Why is the forum so slow???

Hey Eric, Baxo and the guys. The board is still slow as all Honduh hell. I can read LS1GTO and Hot Rod in the time it takes to read all the new stuff here everyday.  I thought you did the upgrade already?:hick:

doesn't seem any faster than the old site for me, but it isn't crazy old man slow like it was right after the move.

For me, it's slower than the old server almost ALL OF THE TIME.  At it's best it runs about even with the old server and that's about 5-10% of the time......

I'd say that's a fair judgement of my experience with the board since the change.

Since I moved I'm on dialup, and for me it's slow ALL the time :hick:

Unless Eric and/or Alex have any ideas I've no idea why it would be slow. Same software, on a larger, well known host (as opposed to the fly-by-night operatiuon we were with) - it should be as fast or faster. Try clearing your cache and cookies to see if it speeds up

No dice, every other site is operating at the same speed that it has before.

Yeah I agree with everyone.  I have a T3 at work and 3.0Mbps DSL at home and it is slow at both places.  Tonight it is tolerable but sometimes I just end up coming back later because it takes forever to load anything.

I honestly don't experience any of these symptoms that you guys have.  There must be some hop between you and the host that is bad.  I'm in Tucson, and I believe GoDaddy is in Pheonix...  So I'm close, and this site is never slow for me...

Even on the US Coast Guard compi's this site is slow. Go to Car Craft or Hot Rod's forums and you'll see what I mean. They go SLOW. ANd ever since the move they beat this site. I can load up NATO, LS1GTO, LS1Tech, and the amcforums like lightning.

It don't think it's my cache or cookies since I just put this this new Dell on line last week...

Generally other sites are much faster on this computer, and mostly this one ain't bad. There have been a few times the pages were very slow or not loading and I just tried again later.

I used to be dialup, but as of about 3 hours ago, I'm on Highspeed Lite.
