Thanks.
Thanks.
There must be a system problem because if you get into the MR forum for instance you will notice that there might not be more than one post per hour. Not at all normal. I'm going to try to e-mail FT to see what they have to say. Maybe it's all this publicity the site got recently. Overloading system?

I think it would be wise not to send emails to FT Admins as they already know about the problem and should be spared from hundreds of emails from users asking what is going on.

It is at the very bottom of the forum list. Also, the thread on there has stated that they are having database problems.
