Surely (Shirley?) there are some server-end stats that Basil can track. About an hour ago I couldn't reach *any* BCF page without getting "server not responding" - EXCEPT for the BCF homepage, which would respond immediately.
With similar problems reported by other members here, it's obviously not just me or my Charter.net internet service.
Wonder what Basil has been finding.

Its strange, from work I have these issues a lot. Pages won't load, slow...but I never have them from home. Could it be a setting on IE?

Hey, Paul, don't know if you use a cable modem to get to the "internets", but if you do, a quick way to get back to speed is to unplug the CM for a moment, and have it reboot. Also, if your ISP provider had done upgrades on the system, your cable modem may be too old to keep up with increased bandwidth. Just a thought....

Have the problem both at work and at home.
It just took 5 minutes to load the front summary page.
It's the site - everything else I have up is fine.

Kevin,
Like Alan, I have seen the problem both at home and at work. Home is with Cox and office is Comcast, but same results.
I've unplugged and reset the modems and routers and cleared all caches. It's the same on Mozilla, IE 7, and Opera browsers.
Tonight is somewhat better than this afternoon, but very spotty, especially when posting or editing a post.

Paul,
it has been periodic over here(roadrunner cable) for about two weeks now. Intermittent some times can't open up(I quit on a site if it doesn't open within 90 seconds). Then mostly it's back to normal.
During this two week slowdown period I will get very sloooow movement sometimes from forum to forum....
I hope he gets it fixed soon, as I wanna send some money in, but being Scot, dinna want to waste it.

It's only one thing that could account for these problems, and I hate to say I told you so, there is a conspiracy, yep, you got it. The "commies" have hacked the forum, no question about it. I told you guys not to buy them tires.... you have no one to blame but yourself.

well, looks like it's not a 24/7 thing. it's now 6am EST and there's no delay at all.
wondering ... is the intermittent problem related to heavy server use? did the new "subscriber benefits" increase server load by adding more sites and blogs, etc. which are heavily used sometimes and not used at other times?
Don had problems on the West Coast; Paul and I on the East Coast; Ron in the Islands. Edit: Seems it's not the 'net, but only BCF, as folks are not having problems with other sites.
Does the Boss have any comments on the situation?
