Have to ask - couldn't figure out if it was just me or what. I have had a very up and down day here at the big A. Pages not refreshing, server not being found, slow response times, Never lasted more than a minute or so but it was all day long.

Was it just me?

Since I am at my new job (next intern period for a half year) I can`t tell exactly if the site is Jumpy as our server at the office really sucks.
But Today it might be a little more off then normal

Hola!

No you are definently not alone, the site has been junk for me lately (past week or so) with endless "Page cannot be found" and other page problems. Often the loading time is really really bad, even for my dial up.

I've had the same problems you guys are talking about as well as ocasionally part of the page will come in and part is left out.

I have noted a few pages timing out and not loading. But they always load the second try. Most likely we are maxing out on the total number of users who can "ask" for something at the same time.

I have posted an update on the dedicated server upgrade. Hopefully we will leave all these performance woes behind once that is done. However even if it doesn't give us a huge boost there are some things I think I can do to reduce server load and improve speeds.

Sorry for the troubles,
Jim
