also, I am not receiving emails replies at all. Thanks for getting the site back up though.

Ive had problems before today, and Im on a T1 connection...for example, it took about 30 seconds for this thread to open up once I clicked it.

Well, the lag has nothing to do with the main site. I'm not sure what is going on, but I'll figure it out. It takes about 5-15 seconds to open a thread, and some take well over 30 seconds. It should be instant. I'll get to the bottom of it. I haven't received notification of a response to this thread, so something is definitely up.

Yeah, I had problems a few months ago but today has been super slow. Text only threads should open up immediately, whether you have dial-up or a T1. I have cable, and the threads usually always show up immediately, pics or not.

It happens at least once a week, it seems.

to me,
it seems like the Geckophile banner loads first then the buttons under it, they load right away, but the Banners and the Make a donation button are whats holding it up. Once they are up, the page loads. It took me a while to get to this page!

BTW,
the email problem is new as of today

Refresh the page several times on the main page of the forums. The banners load just fine. It may have something to do with the remote avatars. If any of those free photo hosting sites are having server issues, it will screw things up here. I'll keep working on it. It is driving me mad. My system admin. did database and server checks, and everything is fine server-side. I'm at a loss right now. The forum email and auto-gen thread notifications aren't working well either, so something is definitely a little nutty today.

I need to find someone who knows phpBB. This is just out of control. Why does the index page of the forums load instantly? It just has to be related to the remote avatars. I'm still working on it.

I disabled picture upload in my browser, and that made no difference at all. I've been up all night trying to fix this problem, but it seems to be beyond the scope of my abilities. I posted the problem on the phpbb.com forum and am waiting for responses. I've emailed every computer person I know. I also noticed that if you want to preview your post, that loads instantly. WTF?!?!
