It seems to be faster today, but that could also just be that it's early AM here and very few people are online. :)

Right now, it was very slowest with the Internet connection. Its doesn't gets fastest the Internet connection. I knows it was something wrong with FT. I tries to typing the DL Forums but, its has been very slow. So I think tech supports should need to get fixed ASAP.

Tech Support,

I have been problems with FT today. Its wasn't faster today. I knows it was something wrong with FT all day long. Can you please reboots the Internet conection for me, please? I knows FT doesn't have faster connections. Can you please find out something is wrong with FT forums today. Is that your weather in CO does not good situation due to snowstorm. Can you please give it chance to fixed the Internet connection by FT. I'm tries to get posts but, I am trying to typing the message boards but, it was very slow. So However, if you guys try to get reboots with your Internet connection. Thanks for your concerns to me.

Regards

Just gotten used to it being slow. I don't think a reboot will help it, I think the database backend is the slowdown, it is fast right now with less traffic but during the daytime goes very slow.

FT has been slow today :(

What's it to ya?
 

I wonder what "...System Generally Slow" means to you.

Do you experience the following? In any particular combination?

To me it means, sometimes:

• not getting email alerts re new posts for a half a day, sometimes a day, then getting a slug of them, bunched up over about a 20-minute period
  
• the FlyerTalk window takes a long time to open from the the email alert's link
  
• the content takes a long time to populate (usually associated with an active video advert panel that must finish filling before the content arrives)
  
• lately, typing away in the message box, but no letters appear until I stop typing, then they catch up
  
• getting the Database Error window
  
• (rarely) the IE window saying that it cannot display the webpage

"Sometimes..." because these don't always occur at once. When they do, they usually are obviously associated with the site. But when it's not obvious, I'll go over to another window to see if the symptoms are there, and clear the cache. Then if it's still happening in FlyerTalk but not in other sites, I at least have some boundaries on the problem, and will go back to real life, or to play on TripAdvisor, or post on this thread. :D

Again, any of this familiar?

What happened? FT suddenly went slooooooooow.

I guess the site has a cold.:D

DB server went down.

Speed is back again.

crawling along and getting numerous database errors today at 12:34pm pst

Same here. More database errors.

Hi everyone,
I've got a report from the tech team. This morning’s outage was caused by a hardware failure between our core switch and central storage system. We worked closely with our hardware vendors to diagnose and resolve the problem. We are working with our vendor to add redundancy to this system in order to prevent this problem from occurring again. We will be scheduling a downtime in the next few weeks to implement this fix. Thank you for your patience.

crawling along and also getting database errors at 9:56am pst :(

Very slooooow the past half hour or so.
