Board access time seems really slow, What is different Options

[Qarl]

Hey Admins...

Not that I am ungrateful or anything... but it takes 17-20 seconds to get to the 914club website now (timed from clicking the link in my Favorites toolbar) to when stuff starts to pop up.

Clicking on the button to post a new topic takes 8-12 seconds to pop up.

This is true for my PC at home and for my PC at work (different ISPs).

Home is a cable modem and work is a high-speed DSL.

I thought maybe it had something to do with the Mozilla browser vs. IE, but no difference from either browser or from any other PC in my office.

What gives?

Seems like something has changed and is causing the webserver to do something it didn't use to do.

At home I link thru AOL, and it's freekin fast on a dialup.... well, compared to work its lightning. Shop Talk forums loads fast at work so what's the diff?

well, that's good news as it means it's NOT the BBS that is slow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

it also means that "Shop Talk forums" is not hosted on our servers therefore you get a different route.
seems like there are some routers overloaded on the way to the BBS ...

our server itself is fine, it's fast for me which means it's up & running OK.

we don't have any control over how you're routed to the BBS server.
