Really??? Hadn't noticed on this end; but Hughes.net isn't lightning speed anyway. Course my 4G Samsung...does seem slower at times, but signal (I assume) is the issue at those times (when only one or two bars).

How long has this been going on??

I noticed that from Italy it was very slow but from here in the Northwest its always been kind of slow. lately I have noticed that when doing a submit it is very very slow.

Yeah it was slow yesterday for sure. Was taking over 15 seconds to load a page or submit a post from my 4g phone...

The server and forum site itself is in need of an upgrade.

I also noticed the emails I receive from the forum are no longer a generic registry email but a member's email "ZR-1 Net Registry Forums <jim@gizmosart.com>"

Why did that change from the generic forum email?

Corvetteforum uses a generic:
forumsupport@corvetteforum.com

So does digital corvettes

I just think the generic forum email is much more professional, granted this is a club site not a commercial site, but I would still think to keep it consistent you would want that generic email.. what happens when that board member decides to step down, it will change again

It slow because the government is now spying on anything and everything lol

Here in Canada the ISP often throttle our bandwidth . Kinda makes me mad that you pay for a certain speed and they slow it down to handle all the traffic at peak times .
For some strange reason right now my iphone is being fast as hell on this forum . It is usually just a pig at anything with the latest update . I'll try my puter in a bit and see if the site is slow also . Often I notice that speeds will fluctuate constantly . Try speed test on your puter and see what speeds you are getting .

Seems fast on my puter . No probs here

. If you want a really really slow site then go to photobucket
