me three
Resigned to the picture I've created of myself as poor typist and propmt whiner, I can contribute: so slow to connect it wouldn't even open
technical issues. I couldn't even gain control to logoff, had to do a break to gain control of my T-3 supplied PC. "Clever", I thought, "won't open, so techs can't hear real-time status of what confronts some FTers." It's the, Hey, Haven't heard any word to the contrary, so everything is perfect..." school of sysad. Very strange that some posters have no problems, others can't connnect atoll, atoll, Bimini...

And to add ... what y'all said above re slowness.
And I was on at 1am - 5am MST .... clearly not a lot of folks on FT to cause any user drain.

More grist for the tech support mill:
The site seems to hang more often than not, when going from one forum to another, opening a topic, or trying to reply.
Newest wrinkle for me is that now I get a error message that reads:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.flyertalk.com/forum.showthread.php?t=nnnnn
Operation aborted."
When I click OK to close the message box, I go to a "Page cannot be displayed". At that point, if I click the Back button, the FT page I was hoping for often loads and I continue on my merry way.
It's an annoyingly circuitous way to have to navigate.
Hope someone figures out a solution to all these problems soon: it's my favorite resource, and I really want to continue to love it!

In fact, even clicking "reply with quote" took 60 seconds to load up the reply page just now.
As a result, I spend about 50% less time on FT since these problems started - mainly because of the frustration and time wasted dealing with the stalls.

Last 2 days have been worse for me. And just about 10 minutes ago I hit one of those stalls...but this time it just hung for almost 3 minutes! Then the page finally appeared.

It seems that lately for me, the first few forums I go to, load reasonably fast, then it gets slower as I get about halfway down the forums list. Each thread further down seems to be slower than the previous one that I open to read. Seems to be happening that way the last week or so.

Last night between 11 PM & midnight EST, and also this morning from 8 AM until now, FT has been extremely fast for me. Has anyone else been pleasantly surprised?

I spoke too soon. I am getting timed out and have already lost two messages that I was attempting to post within the last 15 minutes.
That was while I was using IE6. I then used Firefix to post, and it was slow but successful.

FlyerTalk is virtually unusable this morning (Hawaii time).
One click will be fine.
The next one will take 60, or 90 seconds to load the page.
The next one times out entirely.
It would be helpful to hear from Tim et al an update on why this is such a problem and why it is so recalcitrant to fix.

Been so slow and "hangs" I thought it might be that my provider had slowed down my speed access for some reason.
Phoned them, got the usual 20 mins on hold, and they got me to run the 3rd icon here as a speed test (which I imagine anyone can do?) :
http://www.users.bigpond.com/speedtest/default.htm
Agent told me my speed was at top end of their wireless broadband service promise, and that is the largest provider here.
Like those above, agree there is a curious slowness in recent weeks. And it is just FT, not anything else I visit.
