My last post on another topic was double-posted by accident because the reply was so slow to load. I hit "submit reply" and waited, and waited, and waited, until everything seemed to stop. I thought maybe something had timed out, so I hit the submit button again. This time it took, or I should say THEY took, because both posts appeared. I tried to delete the duplicate, but I got the "only Admin can delete a post" message. OK, no problem. I later got an e-mail from Cheri about double-posting, but I assure you I didn't mean to do it! Anyway, the problem must work both ways, because I got the identical e-mail from Cheri one minute apart! Just wanted to let everyone know I didn't double post on purpose, and I try to be a good citizen on this forum because I enjoy it so much. Thanks for hearing me out.
I'm sure I think I said what I probably meant, but maybe not.

This forum is extremely slow, way slower than many other forums I regularly use - and forums that dwarf this one in terms of scope and sheer size of content.
That said, it's free for us users and I do understand that there's a cost for fast servers and hosting services. There's nothing else like this forum that I've found and while it would be great if it were faster, I'm thankful that it it's here.
So thanks admins!

Well, on the advice from Balto Bob in a PM, I read through all the messages in this thread and did see the upgrade plans.
I can confirm that MS Access is a huge bottle neck and that an upgrade to a SQL server will have a huge impact in performance.
Both MS SQL Server and MySQL will perform well.

This website is extremely slow for me as well, despite the fact that I have an exceptionally fast connection. I attend other forums that have more content than this that always load instantly. Either you just need a better server or there are too many non-human server requests.

I am sorry to say that I too find this site extremely slow in loading. I'm on cable high speed internet. I think that the longest it's taken for a page to load is close to two minutes.
I love this site though. I hope it can somehow be sped up a bit.

Also, the technology of the database is to be changed to SQL, which is much more advanced than the Microsoft database we started with, which I believe is the real source of the trouble.
With both upgrades, many steps have to be done correctly. Please be patient, it will be worth it.
Just a 'fresher for those who haven't read the whole thread. It's comin! The upgrade is comin!

A few times I have actually "timed out" waiting for a new page to load. But, HEY! Anyone willing to dump a Microsoft product is worth waiting for.(joke - kinda)But, thanks, Admin. This IS truly a great site!

Have to join the chorus here. The site is slow to load and navigate. Our old dial-up on an ancient 28K machine was faster 12 years ago.

Response time on this site is getting slower and slower. If something is not done soon to correct the situation I'm afraid that you will lose quite a few members. It's terrible.

I started this topic and now I am delighted to say it seems to be redundant with the new upgrade.

This page got natural in 1.15 seconds.  
The SQL upgrade for the database is complete. And boy is the site zippy! It's a pleasure to post again.
You folks that hung in there during the s - l - o - w times have the sheer tenacity it takes to make things happen. You made your posts happen even if it took ten minutes for the !%@$^@ page to load. Welcome to zippyland, dedicated posters everywhere.
Keep any eye out for that Donate button. We're going to need your help to pay for this more expensive server, and to pay the excellent folks that made the upgrade go so smoothly.

One of these days, DSL and/or cable will reach these rural roads so I can enjoy the zippiness at home as well as at my regular office. It is faster than it was on dial-up, but it isn't as fast as on the backbone of the University. :) Cheri
