It may by of interesting to those technically minded that when using Dial-Up I have no trouble; it's only with broadband where the problem is happening for me.

Thanks for letting us know. ^

Anyone else finding it slow at the moment? Painfully slow.

Ft is crawling right now. I am on a DSL line and this is the slowest that I have seen it in some time. I wonder if by turning the "signatures" feature back on, this has some how affected the speed of the board?

I'm guessing it's a similar webserver issue to what John at Webflyer reported on 5/24.

It was very slow last night, as well as this morning, but about three minutes ago performance rapidly improved so hopefully whatever was causing the issue has been addressed by the FlyerTalk IT team (thanks!).

It is back to normal speed right now. Did someone at the House of Miles make any adjustments?

I personally witnessed John's magic fingers dancing over his keyboard, casting an assortment of technical spells on the evil slowdown, and bringing peace and tranquility back to the land of FT.
It was quite the display

It's also running faster tonight than it has for months on my iMac. As I have reported in the past, I have used several iMacs running different browsers and varying between OS9 and OSX and all have crawled along since that last batch of "improvements". At first I thought it might just be a factor of fewer members using the site tonight, in the middle of a US holiday weekend. Let's hope this is for real! Thanks tech guys at FT, if you have fixed the problem.

Just like to note that as of this morning, using the www.flyertalk.com address, I am starting to get "Page Not Found" errors again.
Coming in via IP (64.78.185.85), I am not having these issues.
John noted that the issue last time was one of the webservers going offline...
