I live in Robertsdale Alabama and I always seem to have good connection and speed. Even at work(Mobile, Al. ) I don't think I have ever had problems. Of course now that I have said that I probably won't be able to get on the site till after the Bash! Oh and I am on DSL.(Centurylink)

In Florida with broadband connection. Things are slow in the evenings. Sometimes I just leave the site all together because I cannot get anything to load. Sometimes its photos that do not load and other times the pages themselves do not load.

only issue I have regularly - pictures seem to take a while to load. Like - 10-15 seconds or more.

And as ladycop mentioned - it would be nice to have a "next" button on each photo so you can easily scroll to next photo.

[Edgar]

Houston area - Comcast at work & Uverse at home.
Both work just fine with no performance issues.

I use a Mac Airbook.

Whenever I do have slowdowns, it's almost always a general browser/memory cache issue. I usually have 6-10 apps open at once, multiple documents in each and up to 40 or more browser windows & tabs. If things start slowing down, I start closing browser windows & tabs until performance improves & sometimes have to restart some apps as well -- Excel is a big problem in that regard. About once a month or so I might have to reboot the computer to clean things out enough.

I can't say that I ever have any more issues with IAP than anything else.

 

[Charlie_W]

Jeff, lately,the site runs beautifully during the day but after dinner, ....slow as molasses going uphill backwards in the wintertime. Slow to view different threads or load new posts...clicking on a show off your pens pic......sometimes I just put my iPad down and watch tv. Sometimes my iMac is slow too. Other sites load fine and quickly.
Northern Virginia, Verizon Fios, wireless router, Safari or Chrome...no difference.


Wish list: I would like to see a home button at the bottom of the thread so I don't have to scroll back to the top to click home again...every time.

Thanks for all you do and having such a great place for us old kids to hang out!

Normally no problems, but sometimes pages load slowly. But that's all sites, not just this one. I suspect it's an ATT issue.

1. Murrieta in Southern California
2. Things seems snappy most of the time and page load time is fine.
3. I haven't noticed any slow downs on the site. Slow downs on my part, no comment.
4. I have FIOS with a fairly decent download speed since my wife streams movies and I have two boys at home who play online games with friends.

 

[triw51]

Arizona here and no problems. I think the trouble some are having is due to the amount of traffic in their areas i.e. their servers are bogged down

 

[PR_Princess]

1) Office - Racine WI
2) IAP loads at least quickly as other sites, often more quickly
3) Shutdowns and slowdowns do happen, but is internet wide when they do (Usually provider or local equipment related - see #4)
4) Wireless Broadband

1a) Home - Sturtevant WI (boonies)
2a) IAP generally loads quickly, the same or better than other sites
3a) Shutdowns are virtually non existent.
4a) AT & T Hotspot (Which Ed highly recommends - as his son works there)

I have not noticed any page load issues specific to the IAP. (But can you do something about Facebook please? )

And I do currently reside on planet Earth, but on occasion have been told that I am a space cadet. :alien:
