zipping right along today on both my g5 intel imac and my ancient g4 667 mhz powerbook

Very slow, starting about 10 minutes ago, from Taipei, Taiwan.

Page loads so slow. When it loads, only partially (top of page) then seconds of wait to a complete load. That makes it so painful to browse FT and post in different fora/threads.:(

Is FT under attach in Asia again?

ETA:
Back to normal for now.

Nope!

glad to see it's back to normal though.

Well, it was short-lived, at best.

Pages aren't loading at all at times. Sometimes just get a blank page with a little "done" notification at the bottom of my web browser. Other timesm I'll get the ads, but nothing substantive.

It seems to occur most often in OMNI, but occasionally in the Continental forum as well.

It's been sporadic over the last few days but the slowness/non-loading issues have been system-wide on FT for me.

Page load is getting a bit slower in Asia. It's taking extra seconds to load every thread and different pages. Just started to happen in the last 10 minutes or so.

Site is slow....time to upgrade?
 

Is it just PHP or is it time for a new server? The site seems very slow and cumbersome, but of course it is free.

I'll move this over to our Tech Issues, as it's offtopic for a forum devoted to Community meetings and greeetings.

very very very slow for me at 8:08am, pst :

to add: horrendously slow and numerous blank pages drawing at 8:31am pst

Looks like I've sent 6 copies of a PM while page was glacially slow to load.

...and 3 copies of a post. OK, OK, we got your point. :p:D:D

ps. Things seem to work fine from my end of the Asia world though.

I've been getting double post warnings for the last two hours, and also had to delete several duplicate posts in Community

Bizarre - I only pressed submit reply once.

I noticed replying to another thread that it then appeared in the list of subscribed threads in MyFT, which shouldn't happen with the new method of marking things as read.
