My dial-up ISP appears to working at normal rates on other websites, but now when I load Renderosity, it takes perhaps two minutes or more to come up with the "Front Page." And once inside 'Rosity the speed is okay shifting between galleries etc. Except to come into this Forum - man that takes a full minute or more. Maybe you guys on DSL or cable don't see a slowdown, but others on dial-up? How about you ? Dick aka drace68

I've noticed it of late, and I have a pretty fast DSL connection. Seems to happen periodically. jon

Actually, a topic on this has been brought up in the administration forums as well, so you guys aren't the only ones that have noticed. My feeling is it's probably increased traffic in the forums which is causing increased load on the databases that handle the forums and posting and the like. The Renderosity site as a whole receives tremendous amounts of hits every day. I believe I once heard they use a terabyte or more of bandwidth a month! They're always working to improve the servers and keep the speed up as high as possible though. Anyways, not much help but hopefully a little bit of an explanation. David L. Writer's Coord.

Thanks for checking in with the front office. Just now 8:35 pm CST the site loaded rapidly, and so did this Forum. Thank you Dick
