New Flyertalk R-E-A-L S--L--O--W !
Welcome back FT!
Even though I use a dial-up ISP, the old FT took 2-3 seconds to open a new page. The new FT takes 2-3 minutes!
Are others having the same problem?

Anytime you do a major update like this to a system, there are problems that have to be worked out when the full traffic load comes up and working. There's no way they can simulate all of us trying to get access to everything, and now they're noticing where the stress points on the system are and figuring out how to address them to make things flow more smoothly.
We'll all definately have to be patient for the next few days or weeks while they work out the bottlenecks in the system and get things running more efficiently.
We all manage to put up with the airlines and they're variety of problems...I'm sure we can handle a few little ones here and there.

This may be the NEW FT, but it's the same old Milezbuzz, and I don't see what FT performance has to do with the lastest FF news....

I can't use FT at these speeds. The reply button brings up a baroque interface that takes forever to load. I expected much better. This is my last post until things get better.
