• Please note this new thread in the Announcements forum regarding updated management of the site. Jeff Duda has agreed to assume ownership and lead management responsibilities during what is anticipated to be a 3-12-month interim period while we perform some updates to the site, including changing the hosting. The staff will do their best to provide timely and transparent updates throughout this transition period.

  • A website update occured last week that rendered some of the page display styles obsolete. If you have logged onto the site and are experiencing a strange or messy appearance, it is likely due to this factor. An inadvertent mistake in the meantime likely made this issue worse. It has hopefully now been fixed. See this thread for details on the fix. --Jeff

Site Loading Extremely Slow

Site is loading extremely slow. I've tried clearing cache and web history, tried chrome, tried firefox, trie rebooting my computer, tried resetting the router. I don't have a modem as I'm on a fiber optic network.

Tried from my laptop, my desktop and my phone's browser, I get all the same issues. Either takes forever to load, or it won't load at all.

All the kids on quarantine, breaking the interwebs
I saw or heard a news report somewhere that this could very well become a big issue in some places.
There's all the kids doing on-line school, people working from home, all the people sitting around bored net-surfing/watching videos/gaming...
If there isn't the bandwidth to handle it, everything slows down


-------
At this point, the site is loading normally for me.

I got a site unavailable error when hitting this site about an hour ago and every other other site was loading fine. Suspect the host had a temporary issue.

It is taking 2-3 seconds to load a thread which is not normal.

My speedtest is a little down from normal but that wouldn't be it as it's still running around 750Mbps and it's normally closer to 850 on my Comcast Gig line.

I rebooted it earlier today and that’s when we lost connection. We looked at our server firewall and it had been turned off awhile back because it was causing issues. We enabled it again and the site came up. This is strange because everything I click on is working.

I could not get it to load at all late in the afternoon and in the evening. Other Websites were fine. Stormtrack is working fine now, though.
