<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Is the addition of the ever growing growing, oh so lengthy "word association thread" in OMNI possibly a cause, at least in part? </font>
HA!

On that topic though, a serious question, that may help the slowness question. That topic has about 60 pages or whatever. And most of them are one word or one line answers. That had me wondering 'why so many pages'?

Has anyone esle noticed the number of posting lines on a given 'page' over on Omni, (and I have the same feeling on FT Travel as a whole) is SUBSTANTIALLY less than it is here?

Not sure if I am making my question clear, but it seems a "page" of a thread on FT 'Miles' takes up SEVERAL times as many posts and data as does one page on FT 'Travel'.

i.e. it is my guess if the "Word Assocation" was in Miles Buzz (heaven forbid!) it would run to about a third or quarter as many pages long, altough containing the same number of posts. It seems like a simple "tweaking" issue and may help stabilse that Forum, rather than 60 or so "pages" of data needing to be "rad" by computer each time a post is made. Omni has crashed often since being moved to FT Travel.

John At Webflyer - I responded here to keep answer within context of last few posts, but as it seems to be a possible issue with the general slowness, I'll take your advice and make it into a new thread.
