thank goodness for web3 ^
i'm having the same problems...

this becomes so slow... hope it will be fixed in the next couple of hours

Hit and miss this evening....sometimes REALLY, REALLY slow, sometimes all right. It has been slow a lot in the last few days, but previous posts seem to explain that.

I just noticed that FT has been awfully slow since it was down for maintenance.

Currently, a disaster. Some pages never loading at all for me.

FT wouldn't even load last night in LAS (airport wireless). Currently v e r y s l o w at MKE (WorldClub).

Been awfully slow since the maintenance.. can we go back to what we had before?

As others have posted, just use web3 and move on.

Dumb question, but what is web3 and how do I use it? Thanks. :)

Put http://web3.flyertalk.com in your browser (ie replace www with web3)

Even slower for me using web3 prefix. :)

Been crawling now for days here.

Hit&Miss
 

hit &miss today, sometimes fast,mostly slow.

I've also had pretty poor performance since the outage a week or so ago.

After reading this thread, I have tried web3 and it does appear to solve the problem, but I've "suffered" for days.

How about posting a general notice on the main page to communicate how to work around the problem until it is fixed?

Very very slow for me, on web3 and otherwise.

Any ideas on what is going on?

Just a WAG but this thread is getting over 1,000 views per hour due to national exposure from CNN and AP News. And yesterday FT set an all time record with 4,400+ members or visitors online at the same time.
Not sure if one thread can slow down FT but the one above is getting some very heavy traffic.
