Slow Site!

Craig Swartz · Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2008 8:44 am Post subject: Slow Site!

This has recently become the slowest-loading site on the net that I use, from personal computer (current Macbook Pro) to a workplace Dell and HP. Are you experiencing server problems? I have no issues with other sites. Anyone else?

Craig,

This site is slower than other sites for sure! Something must not be working right.

Best wishes,

Lloyd

I'm having trouble visiting TH too:

-At times the entire site doesn't want to open.
-Although I programmed "log in automatically with each visit", I often have to log in anyway...
-...but I can't always log in at all.
-The search function works badly on occasion.
-Some threads don't open anymore (like the recent "Poll 2nd hand pro-trumpet").
-Editting your own post has turned into a real ordeal too.

Do we have a bug?

The sysadmin is aware that the site is running slowly and is checking in to the situation.

It did improve, was pretty quick for a minute there, but then gets bogged down again.

Thank God! I thought maybe it was like Chris Dodd's and Barney Frank's self inflicted financial crisis. Next I thought TH might have to raise their subscription rates.

(I still can't believe this is free...)

I'm happy the site has slowed.

I can keep up now!

It sucks.

Yeah, it's back to the old dial up speed again. Still, slow or not it's a good deal for the price.

I'm 70 years old, and I can't afford to wait soooo long for each post to open.

The TrumpetMaster and the Virtual Trumpet Studio sites are looking better every day.

Still extremely slow to load here. Hope you can fix this.

Todd's been working like a dog and has found and fixed a few things. Seems back to normal to me today. All hail our sysadmin! There are some on-going issues going forward that will have to be dealt with, but at least the site is usable again. - Don
