Is it just me or is the forum running unusually slow?  My computer is running quickly on other aspects, but takes quite some time to even load the forum once I have signed in.  If there are several updated topics it takes even longer to open a topic.  In the recent past I have stopped, turned off my computer entirely and restarted to see if that makes a difference.  It doesn’t.  Download speeds on the overall computer system are the quickest I’ve had in a long time (in excess of 200 mbs)  Tim

I’ve gotten some DNS errors today intermittently…probably this: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

I’ve experienced that myself — and am seeing it right now. I run an eeros mesh network in-house and my Internet service is on fiber optic. This Website is the only thing I use that varies between sluggish and non-existent.  The problem is fairly recent although I can’t peg a date — best guess would be a month.

Yes, I’ve noticed it’s been slow over the past few days as well.

Just got on the forum at 2130 hours local time.  Think that is n ow 0030 Zulu with DST.  Anyway, I zipped on and through the new postings.  Hasn’t run this quickly for me in a long time!  Obviously I did nothing to cause the improvement so likely did nothing to fcause the problem.  Like Zeb I was pushed  into fiber optics service with eero network and sped up my service but not to the level advertised (1 gig advertised).. ……

I made it for years on a wireless data connection so when struggles with Zoom meetings got to be too frustrating I upgraded to fiber optic. The modem made my laptop obsolete but when the dust settled I was able to do things I’d never dreamed of. And yes, I hate virtual meetings.
