Seeing the issues from my end. Its a good thing that I follow several sites. Click refresh here, then go and check 5 other forum sites. Then it finally has refreshed. Hope it gets fixed. Jim

PAINFULLY slow. 2-3 minutes is a minimum time to get a page on this site to render.

This is the same issue I complained about some time ago, but no one else saw.

Glad it's not just me now...

I contacted the host.
Hello Dow,

Thank you for contacting us.

At approximately 8:45 AM PDT yesterday morning, systems administration informed us of issues on the server that houses your account (BIZ29) that required emergency maintenance. Unfortunately, this caused significant downtime for all our customers on this machine, and they are still working to resolve some of the problems they found. Recently, we in support were informed by systems that all the accounts' sites and email should be functioning properly although you may see some latency. We currently have an estimation for a full resolution by the close of business today, but this may change depending on the complexity of any issues they encounter. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and appreciate your continued patience while we work to resolve this matter.

Please contact us with any further questions.
As of writing this, it looks like only the forum is slow right now. The other pages are loading fine. I have replied back to the host asking them to check the connections to the SQL server from the site to make sure its not affected and make corrections.

Dean, i replied to your first email from yesterday but I got a bounce back from Earthlink saying that my email was blocked.

I forwarded the message from the Host this morning from a different account to you, Lynne and Keith as well.

Currently waiting for a response from the host. What ever the problem is will be fixed.
