Why does it take so long for OMNI to load?
I'm on a cable modem and everything else loads instantly. It takes OMNI anywhere from 10-20 seconds to load before opening.
Seems to have been this way for the past week or so. Anyone else experience this?

I'm on a 28.8 dial up, and it is taking about 20-30 seconds for Omni to load. It was that way all day yesterday also. Normally pages load in 4-5 seconds.

>>The main culprit is probably the number of active threads in the forum. At any given time OMNI is the most active forum.
John, thanks for the support on this forum.
Omni is so much slower to open than the other forums, but not so much bigger. It took me 1 second to open The Buzz, 15 seconds to open Omni in a very informal test I just ran. I think it's something other than just the number of active hreads, you might want to look deeper.

We'll check it out tomorrow, dgolds, either Dan or I will rebuild the threads and see if that improves performance. My guess this am was just that -- a guess, hazarded from home on a holiday when I don't have much time to look at things.
My wife and kids don't understand why I'm even on the Internet on Christmas morning
It wouldn't surprise me to find another issue when I'm able to check a little more thoroughly.
Thanks.

I can't get into it at all now. (Couldn't earlier today, either.) Everything else works normally: a second or two max until the page starts to appear, though on a phone line some of the larger ones take a while to finish.
