Has been terrible since the planned downtown the other day,

Either get pages not loading and timing out or sometimes will load but only work for a few mins then back to not loading.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL LLLLLLLLLLLLLL SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW ;)

I don't have the login problem. But ever since the annoucement about search function update on 11/12/05 (I believe), I have been having the following problems for a couple of hours during the day:
1. The site can't be found;
2. If the site has been found after my consistent refresh buttom effort, the forum page will take FOREVER to load;
3. It happens more often in the last two days that even after the forum page is loaded, the threads I clicked on will take me back to Problem #1. At that point, I would quit and get chilled from FT for a while. :)

Sorry! dupe!
I thought my 1st try didn't go through (because after the forever loading I rested on a blank FT page with error sign at the bottome of my Window's taskbar. Isn't it the nature of the problem this thread is reporting? :p ;) ) and resubmitted my post.

This reminds me of United.com. Did Randy hire some people from their IT department? :p

I was about to say that we probably have a mole from UAL IT department this week too. :D

Slowest website in the history of the world... took 43 seconds to show the page when I clicked on "post reply" when it normally comes up in 2 seconds, if that. It's been like this for the last 3 days. All other websites come up instantly and it's 2am in the UK now so I don't think it can be too many people using my ISP (1Mb broadband).

Now it's sending out duplicate emails one right after the other...but it does seem to be getting better

Still slow here in LA at this time.

Looking Good!
 

Performance here in Seattle as of 6:30pm local is excellent. Been surfing for about 15 minutes and no issues to report. Snappy performance and all postings are working.

For the past 30 minutes the site has been fine but for several days I thought we would manage to get peace in the Middle East before my reply actually got posted.

And I thought I was guilty of overstatement at times. :D

I am glad FT back to normal, or what passes for it.

Strangely, I can access FlyerTalk via flyertalk.com, but my connection is refused through www.flyertalk.com.

The performance via flyertalk.com is better than it has been in several days, but it is not fully recovered as of yet...

try web2.flyertalk.com - working well the past hour or so

Never been faster. Kudos to someone.
