Server Upgraded

[Kia Stinger]

We made some changes overnight and there are still more to come. I'd like to know if anyone is seeing faster page loading compared to previously. If you do, please let me know.

Thank you!

I haven't noticed anything on the site yet, but for some reason I can fly and have X-Ray vision...

Do you feel this could be a result of the upgrade? It sounds like something that could happen...

Seems a bit faster, but there were times prior to the upgrade where page loads were pretty quick and sometimes really slow. Guess we'll see over time. I still miss the little country flags but I've kinda got used to them being gone.

I'm usually pretty sensitive to such things. Have been on here long enough too. I don't notice any difference really. Of course it is the weekend and probably not as heavily loaded as say 10am monday morning.

UBO doing its thing...

page load time does seem better.

Page loading seems faster to me, too.

it's pretty darn quick, yesterday and today. nothing like the slow or hang fire loading that I've noticed from time to time. will it continue? we'll see.

We don't need any stinking flags!

I hope it's not slow then!

Yes, for me as well...

Awesome. I'm seeing the same. And we SHOULD!

Glad to see we're mostly seeing an improvement. This change WAS supposed to speed things up. And further updates are coming...

@bfglitch wondering if you noticed...

Being half way around the world & living upside down in the future I’ve noticed an improvement.

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know!

not being fast today, in fact quite tardy uploading page changes. also, I've noticed that in the text box the cursor is invisible most of the time now. the timing seems coincidental?

The company that owns the server this site is hosted on is under a DDoS attack. It's affecting us and many (though not all) of their customers. It'll pass...

Is it me or is there a slow down today?

Clicking links in alert emails, site is slow to come up.

Forum loading speed is absolutely piggy at the moment, even getting the time out message.

I have alerted the server admin and they'll be looking into whatever is causing the issue. Thank you for reporting it.

I see there's been some layout changes. Any way to switch back to the old format?

This time it was a software upgrade. Which version of the old theme were you using?
