okay...there seems to be about 1500 average visitors in all areas today...and I have waited and watched since the change overs started.....and now I really do wonder if it is my (DSL) connection or if the site galleries, store and forums are almost as slow as before?

I think the changes are still not done from little bits here and there in the posts... so hoping that it will all work faster once it is all really brought together?

It does seem to be very slow (as when I was posting in another forum just now)  and then suddenly go FAST (as when I hit to post this)... but I would say about 80 % of the time it is pretty slow to load.

Life Requires Assembly and we all know how THAT goes!
