Sorry about this; We just got out of a meeting and lo and behold, FlyerTalk (and WebFlyer) are pokey again.

John contacted our host facility just now and they let him know that there's another server (some other client) behind their router that's flooding their network and that they're working on it. We don't have an eta, though.

The last time this happened, they had the bad box taken care of within an hour. Hopefully they'll be as quick this time...

Sorry about this; thanks for your patience.

Actually this is a different agency that we've used in the past. We used to go with Engage, but they folded. We're with Perfect Circle, and although we've had banner problems, they're pretty good on replying and acting on issues quickly when I shoot them an email...

Everything is all nice and speedy again. Thanks for both the help and keeping us posted on what was going on!

Very pokey again this morning for the 30-45 minutes.

We're receiving a lot of traffic today, but John's keeping an eye on the server to see if it's something else...

I found FT very slow-loading and fitful today 9a-4p PT, but now it's picked right up and is positively zoomy...

Good word.

It's fitful right now for me. Sometimes fast, sometimes crawly.

Same here. My tracert shows quite speedy responses, but the refresh rate on the pages on FT has been very slow lately!! I've never seen them this slow.

John did some snooping and it looks like it's network congestion at our host's end...

Slow again the last 1/2 hour.

Slow loading pages (cybereps.com?)
 

Since yesterday FT has been very slow to load each page - it seems to be hanging when looking for oascentral.cybereps.com

It takes about a minute to load/change pages right now anywhere in FT (even to post this).

I am on a Mac (OS 9.2) using I.E. 5.01

Anyone else?

I'll contact our ad folks with your message...

How are the pages serving for you currently?

Hi, Dan - thanks. It's very spotty and has been for the last few days. Right now it's working very well, but today I've already had the same problem three times.

Another site/page (?) that seems to slow it down:

RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/flyertalk.com/ros/@Top1,Right3!Top1

Concur with Blair that a lot of page changes "hang" much longer than usual. Standard PC set up here, but last 12 hours has been definitely "slower" than is normal lately.

Running very fitfully slow this morning.

Very slow this afternoon!

If I click on a thread - it opens, but "hangs" for 20 seconds or so until the body of the thread displays. If that makes sense. ie the page and header (and AD!) open and then just "hang" each time. Been like that a few days.

Actually not too bad for me, thankfully! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

This seems to be happening now...time 10:45PM Central Texas time.

At 8:19 AM EDT, the board started flying again! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Were you doing some maintenance that corrected the problem? It was a major improvement.

Yup... does feel faster but UA's board has gone non-responsive, or is it just me?

Nope, not just you. UA board is awol. And all of FT is slow for me this morning.

Response time is pretty peppy for me, but I'll third that the UAL board is a no-show.

We haven't done anything maintenance-wise, but I'll go in and rebuild the UAL forum again and look for any corrupted postings.

UNITED is so VERY slow today, however! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The United Forum has started freezing up again, so we'll be taking it down for maintenance today (June 19th). It should be back up later this afteroon.
Thank you for your patience.

Updated the United Forum and turned it back on again and it seems quicker to me at this end.

It's pruning time again, especially for that forum, so we'll be turning off FT Miles Friday to prune off older United threads into Archive. This _should_ streamline United's performance for a while at least...

Check the Announcements for more info on the closure...

Message Board Access Very Slow
 

Am having a terrible time accessing the FT message boards tis evening. Am connecting with broadband and have verified I am connecting at 1.3mbs. This is the only internet site I'm having problems with. Its taking forever to open one forums topics. Anyone else having this problem tonight??

Was having the same problem most of the afternoon and into early evening. Speed seems back to normal now. (Also on broadband here)

Had similar problems last nite... better now.

Ibid.

F.T slow or just me
 

Are the boards slow toady or is it just my end. some topics load fast, others, like molassas?

It's not just you. ... very slow today.

thanks, I dont,feel as though it was just me....

Must.....go.......faster......

Very slow tonight (I'm on DSL). Seems slowest when trying to enter a new forum, next slowest when replying to a message, and least slow when clicking on a topic within a forum

I thought archiving was suppose to speed up the site?

Besides being slow, the bigger the forum - the slower it is. AA is the slowest, followed by UA.

STILL slow this morning. In fact I can't even open the AA board. It seems like the more messages a board has, the more difficult to open.

I've been having the same problem for two days.

me too. today is the worst.....
