OUCH...Bad time here is still during the day and the same goes for the GJ forum. As a suggestion - Why not take the forum(s) off line when you do upgrades ? That way we know what is going on and we do not get the go slow. To logon and logout when you are doing these changes is something I see as very slow.
It seems like it had been better the last couple days (did Ryan go to the LA Roadster Show?) and then it was slow again last night. It usually happens around 12:30 - 2:00 am (Pacific time). Is it better for us to avoid logging on during that time? Although if this is the case, you'll have to explain it very LOUDLY and SLOWLY to all the Aussies so they can understand.
Came to a screeching halt about a half an hour ago and just cleared up. Pages were taking three or four minutes to load (I have cable internet) and I even got a few "440 error" messages.
For me it has vastly improved since right after I posted the original question. Maybe just a momentary freeze once in a great while, but certainly not like it was. I was pulling out what little hair I have left. Thanks, Ryan, for addressing this and letting us know what's what. Don
