    Is the forum faster?

    we just replaced the servers we had and doubled the speed. How does it perform for everyone?

    a fast forum is like payday. no one complains unless it's late/slow. I haven't noticed anything, so probably a good thing?

    now we need to work on the sign in check box "remember me?"

    yup...waiting on the transition from link to page (as well as simple back and forward button) was becoming a bit tedious. well done.

    WAY faster for me, anytime after 10pm I usually had to wait a minute or two for the damn site to load and per page. Now it seems almost instant thumbs up !

    It's not bogging down now. That's the only difference I see.

    I've been on and off all day and it does seem to work better with fewer slow downs, which is a roundabout way of saying it seems faster.

    I have not had it time out like it usually does 1 or 2x a night and takes 5 min before I can access it again. So far so good.

    Excellent! Keep an eye on it, but it should be working fast from now on. **We only finalized the fixes yesterday (around 4pm), so anytime after that should be much better than it used to be. If any issues... let us know. Thanks!

    I know I have no right to ask this since it's free here, but, is there any way you can delete the code that always asks if I want to stay on a page after I respond to a thread?

    it seemed like it was slowing down around 9pm PT last night. it might be due to server maintenance or reindexing or ???
