Performance here has been outstanding this morning, as it has been since a couple days after the transition was completed. Search is about 10% faster, and posting is about 50% faster. Moving from forum to forum and pulling up threads is probably 75% faster for me.

[Putting on moderator cap]
This thread has little if anything to do with FT get-togethers. I'd rather not lock it down , but if y'alls would like to continue the discussion let me know so I can move it to a more appropriate forum.

It need not be moved since it actually already appears here:

This is for the Birds. So VERYYYYY slow!
And Time Warner replaced the Cable modem two days ago and was zipping alone until tonite on FT!
Perhaps we are in a 'holding pattern'!

I will take full responsibility for the performance issues on FT tonight. I had the nerve to claim unbelievably quick response times this morning, which had been true. But alas, the powers that be (no, not the FT folk!) deemed that I was having far too easy of a time getting through the site. Therefore, we have all been punished for my sin of having fast performance on FT. Our pennance shall be this painful night of not being able to access the UA forum, among other things. I humbly beg your forgiveness, oh FT gods.

This is INCREDIBLY slow. I'm not having any problems with any other site that I access. What is going on? And essxjay, this IS technical issues as the forum - at least it tells me that I'm in technical issues.
Anyway, what is the problem? Any responses to this? Thanks.

To clarify, ldsant, essxjay moved the discussion here from another forum, including the note about moving it to Technical Issues. That's why the confusion -- that note was originally posted elsewhere (I believe the community forum). When a moderator moves a topic, the original topic stays, but it's locked for new messages. The entire thread appears to then be moved over to the more appropriate forum, so some messages may seem somewhat out of context.

We're sincerely sorry about the slowdowns... we can't get in ourselves to do maintenance work when it's like that.
We believe it's related to our server, which shares all our sites, including DealWatch, which peaks on Wednesdays and Thursdays. As much as we'd love to have a couple more servers to spread the wealth out on, we just can't afford it right now. The banner ads generate diddly for revenue, but diddly is always better than none I guess...
Thanks for sticking around during the slow times, though...
