I perused the last month's worth of posts to see if anyone had noted some performance issues, but as of 2:00pm Pacific today, I am seeing severely degraded performance from the site.

It starts out okay, you can peruse the forums a few threads with no issues, then it just turns into mollasses.

Did the usual: close the browser, clean out the cache, reboot the box, etc.

But the same pattern is happening. Took three minutes just to open the New Thread window to write this, and I expect it will be four to five minutes for it to post based on replies to other threads in other forums.

I was last on at 9:00am and everything was fine then, so it might just be a glitch between my end and FT Center, since other sites (including some high-traffic ones like aicn.com that give me bandwith fits on occasion are cruising right along).

But I figured I'd send in an FYI, just in case it's something that can be easily checked at your end.

Much obliged!

Same here. Sometimes it just grinds to a complete halt.

FT is crawling very slowly for me as well... other sites are fine, so it would not seem to be my end.

Yo tambien.

Virtually unusable.

For the past thirty minutes (first time back since my original post), it has been back to "normal" speed, yet cblaisd just reported five minutes ago it was poor for him...

Each web page is taking on the order of 5 minutes to load. I've been observing this behavior for the past couple of hours.
