We haven't noticed any continued slowness on this end, but we'll keep an eye out.

Truly, I don't think we've seen an outpour of complaints of the speed for the days you mention. Also, FT and SSM are on two different servers so any connection between the two for speed really is strange. But as Dan says (and it is part of his job) he/we will look into it.
Thanks for the note.

Slow?
FT seems to be quite sluggish. I am using a T1 line and it has sometimes taken minutes for pages to load over last couple of days. Sometimes it is OK but mostly it seems slow.
Anyone else experiencing this? Related to corrupt threads?

Slow loading pages
FT is moving at a snail's pace today. It is taking forever for the pages to load. I am not experiencing this on any other website that I view.

FT is the slowest site I log on to anymore . The speed does not vary with the ISP or whatever the computer is, ie it is slow.
Also I havent seen a "lightbulb" or whatever the indicater for visited threads in weeks. And the date/time last visited aint working for me.
I think it is time FT thanged the "D" cell batteries (both of them) or switch to the nice alkaline ones, from the cheap carbon/zinc "heavy duty" crap.

It's the ads that slow things down. FlyerTalk itself is fine.

Cant be the ads. I block every one of them using Opera and ZA (ie itsa religious issue).

This just started tonight. Mine has slowed to less than a crawl. I am currently using Remote Access to my office computer and using FT that way.
I did the latest Windows XP update this afternoon, although I used FT after that it seemed ok then. This is not good. The last time this happened I literally had to wipe out my hard disk and reload everything to get FT to run properly. Help!!!
