ok, who reset the Forums and Simv.com (main site) back to the 26.6 kbps Modem????? both are running so slow that in the time from when i opened IE8 (i have the forums saved on a tab).... i went to the kitchen, made a PB&J sandwhich (peanut butter and jelly for those that dont know what it is) and came back and STILL only had 3 little green bars at the bottom of the screen.


no other website is acting up, just here.  did we all of a sudden get MEGA-SUPER Popular, or is the DNS having problems?

I can't even get on the site really...

My browser has a 1min timeout feature and I keep getting broken links.

Ps this was my 6th attempt to post.

It sometimes seems as though when you attempt to open Pages, or upload a post, etc, that someone else is doing exactly the same thing, at the same time, and one of us gets "Timed Out" in an attempt to "Connect"?

It often happens if I try to beat someone with a reply to a Post!...(the Forum is busy?).

Paul....It certainly is slow today, with lots of Time Outs... :'(...!

Or maybe there is a leak somewhere in the internet data lines in the ocean or up in outer space... ;D

Carlo...

I think the signal is still taking the round-about route from Simviation via your Garden Shed and the Constellation of Orion before it reaches me... ::)...!

Sometimes it gets lost when passing The Great Bear...(the Pub just down the road)... ::)...!

Paul... ;)... ;)...!

This morning I couldn't even open the main page, let alone the forums. This afternoon it was a bit better, got even better around the time I posted my screenshots in payware, but now it seems to slow down again.
