Also having time out issues. I am far from a computer geek, but with the ever growing popularity of this site could it be the current server just can't keep up with amount of activity going on.

I've been getting reset connection errors periodically today - for example, I couldn't get to flyertalk.com for the last 10 minutes!

Maybe it's a subtle hint that it's 12:30AM where I am and it's time for bed.
Edited to add: With a broadband connection, it took over 20 seconds for the page to load with this post.

Ditto.
Has anyone looked to see if some of the huge threads can be causing the problem? IIRC, this was an issue years ago, and I've seen it mentioned on other boards with extremely large threads.
On most, they close threads when they reach a certain number of posts and start a new one to keep this problem from happening, if it is the case in this instance.

... and while I'm sure these "partner sites" add to FTs revenue (and aren't under the control of FT or IB), what I've been noticing for a long while is that my page loads are getting held up while my browser tries to get answers from "*.doubleclick.net", "*.googleanalytics.com" and "*.tribalfusion.com", among others.
I figure there's nothing that can be done about them, but maybe this note will go into a file somewhere and eventually something will get changed.

I was at a cocktail party this weekend and I mentioned FlyerTalk to someone who's starting to travel a lot. He responded that it was a good resource, but that it's slow and hard to search. I nodded. He want on to say there was potential if someone took over for the "kid" running it. I laughed, but come here to tell JohnMcG and Mikel that this slowness is not good for new people sampling the FlyerTalk "brand".
