Hey Technical FT People,

Can I have my old FT Speed back? While it was slow, it was not as slow as it has gotten since the Server upgrade.

Any info for the slowly challenged? I am on a cable modem... not @Home!

Thanks

William

John at Web Flyer, or whoever may be looking at the moment, I think that you still have some problems.

When I move from one page to another, the headings all appear, but the subjects do not. Sometimes, if you wait long enough, the page will open completely. Other times, it never does, even after refreshing, and the browser crashes.

Just an FYI. I know you all want it to work as designed.

John's aware of the slowdown; we're experiencing it here as well...

He's on it, but we don't know how long this will take, as there are other server issues (non-FT) going on as well. Thanks for your patience, though...

Here's a weird one for you Dan:

When what Starwood Lurker describes happens (and it does to me all day), click on the drop down menu for other forums - don't select a different forum - just click on the drop down menu like you're going to.. bingo, the forums appear...

It's the server/speed issue causing that. We haven't recoded any of the interfaces, so there's nothing new going on with the page display functions...

I can confirm what svpii says. It appears ever so briefly before going to the page you select. Also, I have several applications open at once and sometimes toggling between one and then another makes the page open completely. Or, at least that's the impression it gives.

It does appear to be moving a bit faster today, though. Thanks to Dan and John for keeping us apprised.
