It's really slow for me both at home and in the office.

mine too

I regularly get "timed out" errors now that I never got before. Hell I've gotten 4 this morning alone. When I got the 1st one, I soiled my shorts when the voices in my head said the site was down again.

I'm glad to hear you guys are having trouble too. I hav been trying to post pics of some P.O. repairs on my dads car for over a week now and keep getting timed out. 50kb-120kb size. I know my pooter is sick but i have still been able to post them prior to the sites "vacation"

This site has always been a little slow in my opinion. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Shop Talk Forums and "the bird" both are faster when opening and closing threads.

Last year that crazy Qarl raised a question about this and Andy and others started tracing various internet paths to figure out the reason. I don't know if anything was determined. It took too long to open that tread!

I fiqure I can be patient and live with it. Too much good info here to go off mad!

there's a few things i'm working on trying to increase performance.

right now, it seems PHP and mySql work together to slow us down.
i need to find some good reading on how to optimize mySql.
i already knwo what to do with PHP ...

hang in there guys ...
