Default Is Your Computer Slower today?

My computer is taking a longer time to even go to different topics today. I noticed that we have more people here today than usual. I'm sure that many people are on top of all of the financial news .

I remember somewhere that Jeffrey mentioned they switched servers. I wonder if that has anything to do with it....

Yes. I too am lagging sometimes. Other times, it seems to be running just fine. Like right now, but not 10 minutes ago.

Atrocious. If they have a new server, I think someone needs to crawl out of bed and give it a good kick.

The site is now on the new server, but the database is still on the old server which is causing the issues. The plan is to switch that over tonight so hopefully all will be resolved tomorrow (fingers crossed) -- so the site will likely be down for an hour or so while the database switch is taking place. The good news is once everything has been sorted out, the site should be a lot faster than it was before.

Okay, turned off the WOW server, should be nice and fast now! No seriously though, the switch is complete! Let us know if you experience any more problems.

IT was impossibly slow yesterday and today may be a tad better but it is still REALLY slow for me. About 10 seconds to load this page to post.

Are you using Firefox? I've given up on IE7 and switched to FF3 for good. It is much better at handling memory.

I think you are mocking me because no sooner than I posted it and actually counted seconds to be sure (I was just guessing seconds) it went to lightning speed. LOL. Whatever. It is not very consistent though - alternating between slow and fast - just FYI.
