We haven't noticed any continued slowness on this end, but we'll keep an eye out.

Mah Mama sayed I wus jus born slow. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Truly, I don't think we've seen an outpour of complaints of the speed for the days you mention. Also, FT and SSM are on two different servers so any connection between the two for speed really is strange. But as Dan says (and it is part of his job) he/we will look into it.

Thanks for the note.

Slow?
 

FT seems to be quite sluggish. I am using a T1 line and it has sometimes taken minutes for pages to load over last couple of days. Sometimes it is OK but mostly it seems slow.

Anyone else experiencing this? Related to corrupt threads?

I haven't noticed anything here at the office.

Slow loading pages
 

FT is moving at a snail's pace today. It is taking forever for the pages to load. I am not experiencing this on any other website that I view.

Me too. This is way I came here to peruse the thread to make sure it is not my computer or my ISP.

FT is the slowest site I log on to anymore . The speed does not vary with the ISP or whatever the computer is, ie it is slow.

Also I havent seen a "lightbulb" or whatever the indicater for visited threads in weeks. And the date/time last visited aint working for me.

I think it is time FT thanged the "D" cell batteries (both of them) or switch to the nice alkaline ones, from the cheap carbon/zinc "heavy duty" crap.

It's the ads that slow things down. FlyerTalk itself is fine.

Cant be the ads. I block every one of them using Opera and ZA (ie itsa religious issue).

It was fine for me all week. This started on Friday night.

This just started tonight. Mine has slowed to less than a crawl. I am currently using Remote Access to my office computer and using FT that way.

I did the latest Windows XP update this afternoon, although I used FT after that it seemed ok then. This is not good. The last time this happened I literally had to wipe out my hard disk and reload everything to get FT to run properly. Help!!!

FT is extremely slow again tonight. It is taking forever for pages to load.

Yeah, we caught Travel slowing down so John rebooted the server...

FT slow, Omni down?
 

Title says it all...

Thanks,

Scott

I was just going to email you regarding this.

FT overall is so slooowwwwww

I thought it was my computer, I guess it's back to work http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

excrutiatingly slow for me.

at first i thought it was my internet connection, but all other websites act normally.

Slow for me as well. I can't even access MileageRun or CouponConnection.

Could FT be groaning under the combined weight of our 36,000 posts?

OMNI doesn't even show up.

No OMNI for me http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

How am I supposed to work?

Looks that way to me, too.

Slow connections I can deal with. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

OMNI is gone http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Two pretty good stories I was all set to post in OMNI (posted here anyway in case you want to read them):

AND

Right, no Travelbuzz either. I also thought it was my computer!

Everything should be working correctly now... thanks for the help all.

Thanks Tim http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

As good as new http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Yep, that kick to the server fixed the problem http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

excruciatingly slooooooooooooooooow now.

All other sites OK

seems OK again!

Omni down again?

It looks like there are a few corrupted/lost threads in TravelBuzz, but none in OMNI, so I'm rebuilding that forum to see if it helps any.

Dan,

Is there a possibility that OMNI is reaching a threashold regarding total post counts causing the recent problems associated with the forum?

Yeah, that's probably what's happening... some of the forums have a lot of posts/activity, which causes the server to bog down occasionally... that slowdown then can cause file problems which lead to corruptions.

All working again http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Dan!

Slow download
