Have any of you guys noticed that the forums have been really slow the past few days. If this as already been talked about and I'm just being slow I'm sorry. But I just wanted you to know J.

The new trace is perfectly fine. You need to end up at the IP of 199.236.4.64 and you did.

Your times look good too, according to that, the only slowness is caused by your computer speed, not connection, but who knows?

Btw, if you tried IE to connect here, that could be your problem too.

Try it in Mozilla, and see if it improves at all. Im going to bed, your smoke breaks remind me of my sister getting ready in the monring.

Cya next year when you finish your smoke.

haha. You know that in my state things get lost. Not saying that you’re not important but I got talking to my neighbor and lost time. Thanks for your help tonight I will continue to look into this problem. It may be my computer but I don't think so as my computer is running good with all other sites. I will talk to you tomorrow thanks again for your help.

Later

Web Hosting Tips | Career Advice

PCX, I haven't noticed anything different on my side, so this must be something that has to do with your Internet connection.

Nevertheless, I made some minor changes to the site today. I put all the javascript files into ONE big file, added compression to this one JavaScript file and added some headers to make it very cache friendly (so it's probably downloading the file just once a day). In case you find JS errors today, just hit CTRL + F5 and see if the problem goes away...

Once it appears that there are no bugs introduced with these changes, I will increase the cache time to maybe download this JS file just once a month.

If you notice a speed improvement, I'll also appreciate it if you let me know.
