  • Web site problems?

    Is anyone else experiencing very slow connections with this web site recently? My computer is very fast so I don't think it is my computer. I end up giving up on this site because it is so slow sometimes or actually most of the time lately.

            Yes, it's very slow and sometimes I can't even connect. We have an extremely fast fiber optic connection and fast computers so I know it's this site and not individual connections or home computers. I don't have trouble with any other internet site.

              Got this response from Joe:

              "Webmaster is working on trying to resolve the problem with slow response. Earlier today he said that the server itself doesn't appear to be under load, and the site itself is unmodified (no hacking/defacement/spam/etc) so he submitted a work order to the ISP provider. Hopefully, they are working on this order and we will be back with faster response time soon. My apologies to everyone on the forum."

                  Yes, Thank You! The site is back to speed! I quit checking the board because it was so bogged down. It's good to be back. Thank you to whomever fixed it.
