I found FT very slow-loading and fitful today 9a-4p PT, but now it's picked right up and is positively zoomy...

Good word.

It's fitful right now for me. Sometimes fast, sometimes crawly.

Same here. My tracert shows quite speedy responses, but the refresh rate on the pages on FT has been very slow lately!! I've never seen them this slow.

John did some snooping and it looks like it's network congestion at our host's end...

Slow again the last 1/2 hour.

Slow loading pages (cybereps.com?)
 

Since yesterday FT has been very slow to load each page - it seems to be hanging when looking for oascentral.cybereps.com

It takes about a minute to load/change pages right now anywhere in FT (even to post this).

I am on a Mac (OS 9.2) using I.E. 5.01

Anyone else?

I'll contact our ad folks with your message...

How are the pages serving for you currently?

Hi, Dan - thanks. It's very spotty and has been for the last few days. Right now it's working very well, but today I've already had the same problem three times.

Another site/page (?) that seems to slow it down:

RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/flyertalk.com/ros/@Top1,Right3!Top1

Concur with Blair that a lot of page changes "hang" much longer than usual. Standard PC set up here, but last 12 hours has been definitely "slower" than is normal lately.

Running very fitfully slow this morning.

Very slow this afternoon!

If I click on a thread - it opens, but "hangs" for 20 seconds or so until the body of the thread displays. If that makes sense. ie the page and header (and AD!) open and then just "hang" each time. Been like that a few days.

Actually not too bad for me, thankfully! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

This seems to be happening now...time 10:45PM Central Texas time.

At 8:19 AM EDT, the board started flying again! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Were you doing some maintenance that corrected the problem? It was a major improvement.
