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.

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?

Not sure if one thread can slow down FT but the one above is getting some very heavy traffic.
