Poll; How is this forums speed on your end

Postby surfnorthwest » 24 Oct 2011, 17:41

The servers for this forum are based in Salt Lake City Utah. It is hosted by a comapny called Blue Host and I selected them for a few reasons. Their track record for keeping sites up and running and support were the biggest.

I wanted to ask how this forums performance is on your end. Things like errors, and pages loading at good speed. I am really interested in any feedback for those of you who are not in the USA.

Thanks for any input. Always trying to make it a great experience.

Sometimes slow in the middle of the afternoon here in the UK. I put that down to the increase in USA traffic who have just woken up at their time.
Other times of the day - fine!

Sitting in Norway and I have no issues... well... On my wife's MacBook Pro it could take forever to write a sentence, but it doesn't seem to be a problem anymore.
On my regular stationary Windows 7 computer I've never experienced any issues whatsoever.

Site has been working great but today I came up with some error. First time though. Couldn't come to whole site because that error. Now working again.

And I'm from Finland.
GAS isn't the problem,
the lack of funds is...
