Adobe.com performance issues

Thanks for all the feedback. I've passed it along to the web team and they will be working on load balancing and server performance.

Wow! Posting to the Lightroom General Beta General Discussion forum today is what I imagine walking through neck deep mud might feel like. Try it.

Tried to go to the MM forums today without logging in took forever to load the page.

using Safari.

Well, it seems I am lucky. I have "only" to wait for some 12 seconds average for any change to take place: opening a topic, posting a message, each step of the login process, whatever.

Still periodically slow with the Safari status bar showing "Contact www.adobe.com" when I go to

This also sometimes happens when going from one Lightroom forum to another.

I've been having the same experience for the last 5-6 weeks on the Lightroom forums (I've posted there about speed problems too).<br /><br />Example:<br /><br />- I clicked on "Reply" to reply another user's post<br />- 60 seconds later, and I was still waiting for a reply from the adobe.com server<br />- so I pressed <Esc>, and clicked again<br />- 20 seconds later I got the login page<br />- entered my details, then 30 seconds later the "reply to topic" page finally appeared<br /><br />This is not just a one-off - it happens regularly. And doesn't happen regularly on other forums I use.<br /><br />And I agree that it's hindering the Lightroom Beta effort from the Adobe engineers.<br /><br />It can't be *that* difficult to fix - can it?<br /><br />Matt

I have just checked the link I posted, and it takes me to the last page of repeated topics. Not that you wouldn't notice, John!

John, I have just been back to

LINK TO FORUMS

and I am getting at least 8 pager of repeated topics dated 08/08/2006. Curiously, though, they have different posting times.

No host/moderators in that forum either?

I am not visiting the adobe.com sites at all frequently, so I hadn't noticed. By changing my preferences to Spanish, I get all fixed text in all adobe.com forums in Spanish. This is highly undesirable, at least for me, when visiting forums in other languages.

There are only 17 localized forums (I´m not countig the Japanese ones because I asume they are written in Japanese). I have not visited all of them, but I know some (the Adobe French and German ones for example) are written in the apropriate language. Would it be asking too much to have all 17 in the respective languages?

John, you were right. Changing my preferences to Spanish was an enormous improvement. However, the name of the Private Topics folder didn't change to Spanish. And I have no clue about the meaning or usefulness of "rss feed", but that's just my personal ignorance. I supose.

By the way, after clicking on the Profile button, I had to wait for 13 seconds for anything to happen.
