I agree. Since the upgrade, average times seem to be a bit quicker, but there are still slowdowns that, at least to me, render the site unusable. On multiple occasions, I've waited 2 to 3 minutes for a page to load, and I've also gotten "this connection has timed out" notices several times.slackywacky wrote: ↑4 years ago Still slow... 89 seconds to open this text editor window to type this reply.
It seems to vary, sometimes it is better, but definitely not fast.
Chat is pretty much impossible. My TUGs friends and I have started using email or Fetlife PMs to communicate.
On a couple of occasions, I had to abort uploading installments to one of my stories because the pages loaded so slowly or timed out.
Being able to read others' stories and communicate with like-minded kinksters is great, but the continued slowness of the board is turning an otherwise pleasurable diversion into an ongoing source of aggravation.
EDIT: Case in point -- it took this post 2 minutes and 1 second to load.
