Starting at around 7:45am EST I found the entire BCF site *very* slow. Molasses, or even "server not responding". Took almost a minute to log in; still very slow now at 7:58am.

You guys having the same problems? I emailed Basil, but wondered if the rest of the world is noticing this.

Back to normal now. Wasn't the provider, as all other sites were lightning fast. I was afraid the server was under another hack attack.

Anyway, works fine now (8:15am).

I could not log into BCF, and it took a long time to log into my own site on Basil's servers about 45 minutes ago. All is AOK now. I had no problems with any other sites during the slow time, so I agree with Tom about the source of the delays.
