We successfully moved the secondary database to a new server last night. Hopefully this solves a lot of the issues.
Update: Scratch that. I am hearing that the move was not successful last night so they are going to try again on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

I thought maybe I missed a maintenance announcement, but after the 3rd, 4th hour of not being able to connect, I figured that was not the case.

I thought there was supposed to be improvements to this site to make it more reliable.

My laptop is about two years old, so it's slower than some, but FT is still running slow for me. Is anyone else having the same problem, or is it my laptop?

The site keeps crashing. And in between full-blown crashes, getting odd messages on blank pages along the lines of "access denied" or "page does not exist."

Yeah, I think it was something wrong the FT today. Its has been very slow but, its doesn't get faster the Internet connection. I think they are fixing the solve problems from FT today. So otherwise, you should be patience where tech support are fixing the Internet server.
