Speediness? No, can't say I'm getting that but there aren't timeouts for the moment either.

Thanks for the update.

The team is still working on it, and we'll get everyone more updates as we have them. Thanks for everyone's patience on this!

A quick status report.

Around 5:00 CDT this morning, I ran into a slow system for about 15 second when submitting a reply. Not a timeout but thought you guys should know.

Edit to add:
The timeout or slowness that I reported recently would only last for a few minutes, different from those who had the problem for hours. I noticed that based on the timestamp, I didn't run into slowness problem while others were reporting with crawling difficulty. On the other hand, when I try to search for "My post" or others' posts, the system sometimes will have a slow response. That has been the constant in the last two weeks or so.

Not sure if it has anything to do with the (different) FT servers. I am "FTing" from Central Texas.

Slow again, starting two minutes ago (at 9:25 CDT, both browsing and replying to a thread).

ETA: but this post went through without any delay. :confused:

crawling at 9:17am pst :(

Seems like the norm now (crawling, that is).

Crawling now approx 1224 EDT

Just awful, awful for the last five hours.

Snails pace still here.

Our tech team is definitely working on this. We apologize for it taking awhile to fix, but they are working through the issues involved. Thanks again for everyone's patience during this.

John:
You've been working along time haven't you?

Saturday afternoon - has to be a light load but the system just slowed down considerably a few minutes ago :(

Very sad. I love FT but right now it is sooooooo slow I think I'll call it a night & go else where.

Back to its old tricks. Speedy one click, the next one simply hangs forever. There are about three of the latter for every one of the former.

Super slow. Database errors. Fun, fun, fun!
