Thanks Jeff, but we actually came from Infopop. Before we migrated to vB, we were extremely happy customers of UBB and we simply outgrew it, thus the move to vB. We did look at your original Infopop services before we made our move but i think the pricing at the time was viewed as unreasonable, something like $80K a year for the posts we had and the traffic and while i appreciate that you pricing has stabilized - congrats on the success - we'd still have to take three of your Mt. Raniers and still be limited on the 1 million cap you have on active or archived threads. I'm thinking we'd be around $5K a month in our needs with you right now.

We occasionally get a little slowness but it doesn't last too long and sometimes it's related to an individuals service anyway.

But overall we're in pretty good shape and actually launching another server toward FlyerTalk in the next few weeks anyway.

Again, nice to see you stop by and honestly - we would not be FlyerTalk if it had not been for the excellent that UBB was at the time we began FT in 1998. The ease of the BB software to operate and more importantly the service we got was simply very much a part of our success today. Of course our long time members might also remember when we approached one million posts at the time how UBB corrupted some of their most popular threads.... but that's another story.

Cheers,
Randy

P.S. and continued great success with Infopop, you've come a long way.

Any webserver problems at the House of Miles? Since about 4 p.m. PDT, pages have been taking about 15-30 seconds to load. (IE 6.0, T1/LAN connection).

Thanks!

...same thing here....

Very, very slow here, but it has sped up in the last minute or so.

Yes, it's really fast now. Thanks guys! ^ ^ ^

Still very slow for me. It's very frustrating trying to navigate between forums and trying to post and having to wait at least 2 minutes for the pages to come up.

And back to the top.

Really crawling and lurching again right now.

Speed a little better now, I couldn't access it a few minutes ago.

But I guess it was for the best, I went and did 30 minutes on the treadmill instead ;)

Extremely Slow; it even logged me off somehow!

For the FT guys:

Dunno how the load balancer is set to work (or what method you are using), but if it's a hardware device you may want to enable health checking and automatic removal from the LB pool if a host is unresponsive to ICMP, http (with appropriate content checking) or ideally either.

"Unit 1" appears dead from the outside.
"Unit 2" is functioning (or will be, if anyone sees this post :) ).

If I hit "the intended URL", I get nada. Now, I'm not changing my public IP, so if ya'll are balancing by source destination with any kind of persistance, I get it. If not, the LB is currently questionable in addition to "unit 1."

Ever since the "dancing marriott rewards" ads started appearing -- floating out across to cover half the screen on every page loaded! -- Flyertalk has become slow as molasses. Argggggh

http://web2.flyertalk.com/ seems to be usable, but the graphics are very slow.

Good point! It seems to be working fine, while some images and .js files on www.flyertalk.com are taking over 5.5 minutes to load.

"New Posts" hasn't worked all day for me. Every other link requires double or triple clicking.

Yes, it is web1 which seems to be the slow one ATM.
