The old board was faster.

On a different server or not, it was fast to load, fast to post and worked very well even with modems.

This board is very slow. I think the design is very bad. Keep it TEXT ONLy and no frames, tables, and stuff.

My opinion only. Other's opinions may vary, of course.

Really do not feel like visiting the board anymore. Takes 3-4 minutes to load. Not a good sign.

Tsehp, are you listening?

As ever

Tsk, we're lucky to have this board at all, thanks to Tsehp and Woodman. We chose Ultraboard because it was the easiest way to get the forum up and running again.

Yes, it's slow sometimes, but 3-4 minutes is unfortunate. Try again a different time of day and you might find it loads pretty quick.

On top of this, I find the relevance of the board has increased ten fold. Gone are the mundane rants (almost, heh ;-), and elitist talk of reality reversing, and its back to its roots.

Just my thoughts

I actually like the design of the new board (though it initially took some getting used to). I have no complaints with the design, but with the speed. Not trying to "beat a dead horse" here, but I have a high bandwidth connection and it still sometimes takes me 1-2 minutes to load a single page. As was mentioned in a previous post, this bottleneck in speed seems to correspond w/ time of day.

Hi,
The disign is great (do not change it), and the speed is not too slow and not fast, in my case I have a bad connection and from the 3° world (i must say 9° world) it takes me 10 or 20 or 50 seconds to open a page. I think that it is important the hour in wich you visite the forum.
