I don't know if anybody else experience the same thing as I do and I don't know if there is any remedy either. But I find the forum to load very slowly... Not that it loads littel by little but it takes quite a while BEFORE it starts to load. Once it is loading, no problem...

I have 3Mbits/s connection so it's definitely not due to that.

Also, sometimes when I want to quote somebody, the writing space doesn't show up and the loading stops. Then I have to go back and hit the quote button again and then it works. I don't know if I am making sense to you folks now, but hopefully you understand  me.

Just timed it. When replying to my previous post it took like 7 seconds before it started to load the page... I do have cookies allowed and have not cleaned them out for some time so that is not the reason either.

Took three seconds for the compose window to show up after hitting Reply.

But, sometimes it IS slow loading around here and I don't really think it's the forum.   I have experienced this slowness even in clicking the link for our site files and some of our web pages.  I think it has to do with Cinerhost more than anything.

I'll experiment a bit more and see if it's gotten worse than what I'm used to seeing.

I'm using dial-up and I not noticing much of a difference.  If our host is experiencing problems, that would explain what you are witnessing.  Your speed is only as fast as the slowest link.  So even if you have a fast connection, if anything along the line is slow, you will still receive the data slower than you would like...

There are some things I still need to figure out that are supposed to be able to speed up the site.  I went to one site the other day that was highly customized and the pages popped up almost immediately even though I am on dial-up.  But all the other phpBB sites I've visited respond about the same as this one...

I think there is a way to cache all the little images that display on each page in our Community, which is supposed to speed things up quite a bit.  I will try to spend some time trying to figure out how to improve the performance of each page display.  I've got a lot on my plate right now so I feel like I'm being pulled in multiple directions all at once...

11 seconds to reply to this with the quote! I also think it is the host that has a slow server just like a lot of hosts out there! No problem at all! It's not a matter of life and death and I have the time (seconds!!!!!) wave to wait!

Don't worry about it. I just wanted to know if anybody else has experienced the same thing.

Happy Turkey Eating!

11 seconds is slow.  Since I am used to slow, I probably wouldn't notice the problem as easily as you can.  My pages seem to be loading like the always do....

I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving Day too Spider...
