You are not the only one; I have a high speed connection too (faster than DSL, FWIW), and it's coming up slowly. I also have a faster connection at work and have encountered the same. Hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out with the new interface, but in the meantime, I don't enjoy the site as much.

I would rather have something fast and simple without the bells and whistles (like NWA without IFE) than something slow and complex with bells and whisteles (i.e. another carrier with IFE that constantly plays advertising and previews over the open PA)..


Anyway, I plan on giving it time as I suspect it'll take a bit to get things optimized with the new interface.

I think this server needs a couple more CPUs. This is way tooooooooooo slow.

Wow, too slow. I thought it was my work computer, but it is the same story at home. I guess it just needs more time to work out the bugs.

Same result here. I have hight speeda at both home and work and it so slow as to be unuseable

Agree, this is slow ^_ , having been involved with many sw/hw upgrades over the years, this one is classic for what not to do as part of an upgrade. However I also realize it needs time for them to figure things out, so, with that being said and not having ft for the past week, I'll give it another week or two and then come back and see how things are.

It is rather slow. Hopefully with time the site will get faster.

As of this morning, the situation has improved considerably. My DSL connection to FT Forum is a lot faster than yesterday.

I hope that I didn't misfire on the software engineers who designed FT web site.

Still, as some friend indicated, I enjoy the simplicity of NW products, such
as EUA (true FC upgrades, not like CO's EUA that would never come in many situations). BTW, NW's FC, although without leather seats or other fancy entertainment systems, does get me from point A to B predictably. I can count on an upgrade 95% of the time. Unlike other carriers, NW does not play sneaky "enhancement" games

Yesterday I kissed it off at work as the Proxy server never let me open FT.

Got home and with cable thought it would be a breeze

Never happen last night. It was like molasses in January.

So this morning I am actually doing chores between posts - but at least I am able to post. Hopefully the incremental increases will continue or I may have to work again today!

I am proud that this thread, initiated by me, has received a five-star rating !

What does that mean, anyway?

Means that this thread is better than the four-star threads, but not as good as the elusive, super-secret SIX star threads! MUAHAHHAHAA

(And yes, it's a little faster for me this morning. A little faster)

And does anyone know if we can change the default time from GMT to something else? It's hard to do the math.

Any one know a way to make the New Posts be sorted by forum primarily and then by "most recent post"?

I really liked looking at the new posts each day categorized by forum. That way I could be thinking about each program and the posts related to it. Having everything mixed up is much less appealing to me.

You can easily set this in about 7 minutes. Go to your "MyFlyerTalk" page (I REALLY despise the "My<site>" thing) and wait 2 minutes for it to load. Then, select "Edit Options." Wait 3 minutes for the page to open and scroll down to "Date & Time Options." Select the desired timezone, press "Save Changes," wait 2 minutes for the changes to be saved, and you are done!

Next I have to figure out what this thread has to do with NW, where it belongs, and how to move it

Yes site is SLOW (assume it will get faster), not sure what it has to do with NW forum...maybe moderators are overwelmed so they won't close this thread for a while.

I can't yet tell if the new system is worse or better, and I know how hard a redesign is, but I am confused.

Yes, slow, slow, slow, even with DSL.

I don't know what the codings, little pictures, are to the left of the threads and messages, don't find them explained anywhere, did search the FAQ's. I see some of them as options below - do I have to remember all those? I'd like to have words display when I moved the cursor over them, I guess. There are a number of others.

I don't know what a "current tag" is that I have the option to close while I'm composing this message.

I don't know why I have title this message, since I thought I was replying to a thread.

I don't know what "reputation points" are, how to earn them, how many are good to have.

I don't know what to bookmark to have unread messages be displayed when I visit each morning.

I have an airport transfer question (FRA, AA to LH) and don't know where to post it.

So, if there are answers, I'd appreciate them.

It looks pretty but is way too slow. I've visited about 10% as much as before the updates.
