Same here.

Switched to Firefox last year and site was fine. It's been slow the past couple days.

I'm real curious if we'll get an honest response from the powers that be , I've asked before and been told it's all on my end ( not a chance ) to buy a membership and it will all be wine & cheese forever , but don't think anyone from the parent site has ever bothered to reply .

To all:

There was a maintenance issue today with one of the servers. The IT dept narrowed the issue and fixed it. The slow period lasted for a few hours but everything is fine at this time but they are still working so you may see other slow periods for a while.

I too was caught up in it. Everything else was fine.

its because of the resources being used for one banwidth and the amount of pictures on the server.
The forum is being overloaded you need more banwidth or space is running out.
I suggest more banwidth or an external ftp site to host the pictures.
I ran forums for 6 years.
I am only trying to help
