I've got a cable modem, so no timing out problems. But things are better now, after 6 pm MST. Seems any posts today have been frozen at 9:52/3. Any answers about these odd occurances today?

I was on 64k ISDN yesterday....couldn't get at the site.....some graphic placeholders would load, but then all would time out.

And at 9:44 MT it is starting to slow down again. Michael, what's going on? Please answer. I'll check the time problem posting to see if you've responded there. (Gawd, we're beginning to act like addicts whose drinks or heroine has been watered down...!)

Sharholder! 
I get you. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm working on the time issue at the moment and will get to the speed issue as soon as I can.
Thank you all for your feedback and for your patience.

ThanX...

Congratulations Michael! We got through a Wednesday without the site bogging down and slowing to a snail's pace. You deserve a pint on all of us if Randy ever let's you escape from the House of Miles. Maybe he'll send you up to Montreal to join us next month, if he can't make it himself. Or at least to the Red Green show in Toronto in September. We'd like to meet the man behind the servers...
Than again, maybe you'd prefer Cancun this weekend!

the site was slow yesterday (as every Wednesday) from 6PM (GMT+1) to about 9PM (GMT+1) 
but I was glad, that was I was not tempted to be on Flyertalk - this was just when the incredible soccer match Jugoslavia - Spain (European Championship) was played and televised: with the decisive two Spain goals in the last two minutes

Thank you Shareholder. I think overall it was a slightly more succesful Wednesday than we've had in awhile but we still have a ways to go. I'll keep on it until we have an adequate solution.
I really appreciate everybodys support and enthusiasm.

very slow site operation
Is all well with the boards... its taking me ages to load up the pages even though Im using a 512Kb connection.... does my use of a Winsock proxy cause any speed issues...??

Yes, much faster. I wonder if they actually did something or if there was an unexpected surge in volume.

It is extremely slow loading up pages today. I have DSL with 1.2 Mbps download speed, and your site is crawling.
