I can see Michael is doing his darndest here, and that is really appreciated especially on a weekend. But Michael the fact one or all of the 3 biggest boards, Buzz, AA and UA seem to be very slow or totally fritzed nearly one day out of two for months now must by now surely sending an obvious message? It never happened with the older version of FT. If the platform you are using is a more powerful milti-featured UBB, the current madness is even more surprising.

Why not go BACK to the other UBB program? That worked most of the time by my observation. "If it aint broke, don't fix it"? Spreading FT into a well used and a little used Siberia zone seems to have been widely unpopular and that and moderators seem to be the only real differences from the old board. And both are still attracting much comment.
