I have. I’ve noticed it take a bit longer to get loaded each day. Maybe I should switch back to Guinness.

Yep! Slow to load, and slow to download a post or message.

Seems to me to be about a 5 to 15second delay each way.

Maybe the data cables are kinked.

Yes and I too have cable. It loads slow, posting is slow and opening threads is slow. Slow all the way around for me. I thought it was me—I have been madly looking for the problem (as if I could find it)LOL. Thanks for the post.

It varies a lot...but there are periods where it is really SLOW!

I noticied they removed collecting the statistics ( or at least showing them ) on the number of views for a thread...it seemed to be faster after that.

That worked! Unkinked the cable and its zipping along now!

Thanks!

It’s only slow for those FReepers who have never contributed to a fundraiser.

FR being slow to respond has helped me. Now I don’t have to read as fast.

FR has installed a new DU-sniffer. If your posts start leaning left... then FR starts loading slower and slower and slower...

It has been reallllllly slow for me, Uncle Hal. So frustrating when there’s excitement on FR.

Yes, vanity threads are slowing the server noticeably.

Thanks for posting this. It’s been real bad. Is FR being constantly Bombarded with lefty denial of service attacks or something? It’s turned into just about the slowest site I visit.
