Quote - I don't get it...Perhaps I'm just lucky (Or don't subscribe to the Browser of the Month Club), but I have no problems with speed here. I mean...since the forum conversion, this site runs blazing fast for me.  As fast, if not faster than any other site I come upon.

I'll say I experience slow-down on one visit out of ten, and it doesn't seem to matter how many people are on line.  But even when it's slow, it's still workable, unless it crashes like it did over Thanksgiving.

I'm using IE 7 and Broadband and have no difficulty at all. 

Quote - I wonder what the common element is?

 

Browser ?

Location ? (Clogged routers along the path)

User system configuration? (Firewall, Antivirus software)

I've wondered the same thing and imagine it could be a combination of all three.

 

Quote - I guess I'm just surprised to see all the complaints, when I'm having none. None of the error messages posted recently, nor any speed problems.

Well, like pain, I suppose there is a certain threshold in all people.  When the site does slow down I find it simply annoying.  I can come back an hour later and it flies.  But I've never found it so slow I go berserk.
