I have been using an abacus. Why is the connection so slow?...

Cap'n: abacus ... LOL! -- Greg

OK, I have been using Firefox to access the site for a week now and here are my observations. The site is a bit less slow on FF. It's the difference between snail and tortise. FF does seem to eliminate some of the "running around in circles" that the site does in IE8. I don't like the way FF handles my email, so I will continue to use IE for most of my browsing. Just thought I would pass this along. Tom

Thanks for the update Tom. We do appreciate it! -- Have a great weekend, Greg

Greg: I doubt you will see this until Monday but the site went from slow to glacial tonight. Took me about 5 tries to login and posts are even slower than normal. Tom

Greg, I am having no trouble at all. Clicked on the tread and it took 4 seconds for this page to come up.
I use IE. After clicking Submit this morning it posted in about 5 seconds. My wife uses Mozilla Firefox, I will log onto it tomorrow
and see if there is a differance.

Well Greg, I ate supper and am now using Firefox. This page came up in 4 seconds. My last post on IE posted in 8 seconds.
If this post doesn't post in 10 seconds or less I will be back. lowwater

You must be one of the lucky few that actually have fast internet service.

I think I picked a bad time to login! Tom

Well I have found this site to be painfully Slow !
I am wondering if there was an atttack by Bots or something !
1 Thing that should help is to Put the section for finding a fishing Partner by State
All in 1 Group that would eliminate the Long List on the Front Page of the forums !
It also takes Longer downloading with Ads that are Moving Pictures !
All in All this is a Great Site
Thanx

How are things working now, fellas? Working pretty quickly for me on my Mac with FF. -- Greg

Hi Greg,
I have a HP compaq presario PC running Windows Vista Home premium. Yahoo or Mozilla Firefox, it makes no differance
speed is very good and has been for at least 10 day now. I can switch forth and back between windows and it never takes more than
4 to 10 seconds to switch or post. Oh yes we are hooked to Frontier, formally Verizon. There is nothing you can do to make
it better for me. Thanks for the fix about 10 days ago. If I have a problem you will here from me. lowwater

Well, I have a cricket modem so... the site is ALWAYS going to be slow! But it has been a faster recently, for sure.

Something must have happened last night just as I came online. Haven't had a problem since. Tom

To be honest, Slower than all of my other sites but faster
than it use to be.

I haven't had an error message in a while.

A heads up on site maintenance.

There were some minor problems occurring on Friday, early Saturday, due to heavy load. That's good news.

In response, the health monitoring and automatic site recycling tools have been turned back on (were off for the migration). Every evening at 2am CST, the sites will 'reboot' themselves and come back on line. Hopefully fresh and renewed and ready for another day of mad club site activity.

Can you say that in English please? Ha ha just kidding! Sounds good!

I still have time to play the Jeopardy theme
between the pages changing after you click
a topic or when you reply to one.
I also get the theme when I go from the
Home Page to the Forums.
