John's working with our network center to determine the problem and get things smoothed out.

Thanks for trying to fix it before the weekend, sometimes when this happens on late Friday night or Saturday, it's Monday before it can get fixed....

BTW, this is the slowest I've ever seen FT but that United pop-up ad was lightning fast. :p

Looking good now

It is slow again this morning, taking about 30 seconds to load a page. It seemed OK late last night.

Crawling here too @ 1220 edt. Plus, it's taking multiple clicks on links before they respond.

Dan:

If you're serious about being up and running 24/7/365, perhaps a change is in order.

My company owns this data center - I'll do whatever I can to help FT...

Still a bit sluggish right now. Not as bad as a few times the last 2 days, but still sluggish.

ZZZZzzzzzz.....

The only thing slower is the scoring in the Texas-Oklahoma football game! :)

Seems to be running a bit faster for me now.

bj-21.

Still pretty crappy for me. What's annoying is that the ads still load incredibly fast... :rolleyes:

Slow openings and Posting Problems
 

Opening anything takes over 30 sec, sending a post takes over 60 sec, and after the post is received, I get the "this page cannot be displayed" notice.

it is 13:15gmt, I have a decent machine, and a 3meg dl, and a 512K ul that usually run at about 60% of rated speed.

Edited to state:

This post went in quickly, and returned me to the correct place.

I've also noted intermittently slow loading of FT pages over the past few days.

Occasionally for me over the last 2 days (and happening to me right now), I'll be sailing along just fine during a session and then I click on a link and it just seems to stall for about 45-60 seconds. Even if I click on other links. It's like Run 4 min/Stall 1 min/Run 4 min/Stall 1 min, on and on. Very erratic.

Same here.

How has it been today?

Not seeing anything like that here.
