It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Maybe it's because just a few minutes ago I followed your lead and went over to the Planet - my post there was my first in over a year!Yeah, seriously, it's better at the moment than it's been in a great long while. Even before the DOS attacks the old server was running slowly. If this speed stands then Patsfans is not only back, but better than ever!

But I'd rather be here.
This is home for me too, although I still like KFFL site despite the jerks who run it. They have quite a few good posters and good discussions over there.I like that place, but this is home.
I'll probably continue to post both places though.
It's so fast, it's blowing my hair back.:rocker:
It's because the main site is down. I'm finding out that there is a file from here that was being executed there, which slowed the board down. As traffic increases this board slows down waiting for that file, and when that site goes down then the forum starts loading quickly again.
I'm on the phone now and investigating.

And just as suddenly, the site has gone back to glacially slow. The theory that there is something in the new site which references the old site is a good one. I hope you find out what it is soon, Ian!It's because the main site is down. I'm finding out that there is a file from here that was being executed there, which slowed the board down.

You rock, Ian. Thanks as always for the time you put into this site on a volunteer basis.There's definitely an issue. After spending 40 minutes on the phone, I've learned that we've slowed that server down so much that the rest of the sites on there were also affected. It's back up (which is slowing the board down, again) so they can trace where it's coming from, and once we figure it out I'll be taking care of it. After that we'll be moving everything over here so the domain will resolve correctly and hopefully eliminate the issue.

Hopefully because Ian found and fixed the problem, not because the old site is down again. But either way, I have confidence that Ian will soon have it fixed and the frustrating delays will soon be a thing of the past.And now it's back to being fast again for the moment.
