Waiting for forums.adobe.com...

Holy crap, these forums are slow lately!  My browser connects nearly instantly, as it should using a 15/5 FiOS line.  But then it takes FOREVER (in computer terms) for the server to actually do it's job and serve the freakin' web page. 10, 20, 30 seconds is FAR too long, Adobe.  10, 20 30 MILLIseconds is what it should be.

Please get that fixed.

    The inauguration month of September for the new forum software - is it still on schedule or has been postponed until Christmas?

    Man, I've really come to hate those five little words.

    Beware, you are posting the same complaint less than six months before the first time...

    Incidentally, a few days ago I changed my cable connection to one twice as fast. This is confirmed by using three different sites to check my connection speed. But now it's taking me longer than before to do anything in these forums. Things fly in all other sites.

    Sorry, I had forgotten we have just to shut up and sit to wait for things to improve...

    Beg pardon. I'm new at this. |I didn't think the first msg went through.

    From about 8AM (first time I tried, could have been earlier) until about 8:30AM I could get to any forum page... but could not post because the login page was not available

    All seems to be working now (times are West Coast USA)

    yes it just returned at 12 noon est. had been down since about 7 am this morning.

    I was hoping with the 5 hour hiatus that they would have updated Jive Clear Space to 4.x instead of the current 2.5.16.

    No such luck though. Well Maybe they fixed all the current bugs. One can only hope.

    I am getting waiting times of the order of 15 seconds in contrast with the 5 seconds I have been getting "normally" (and the few milliseconds in the Fair Forums)...

    Well, it hasn't been fixed in these two years since this new version of the forums. It was a few milliseconds before the change.

    Well Jim, I guess that I am NOT alone in this - see this THREAD.

    I keep waiting to see a sticky posted in the main page here, telling us that the servers are dying, or similar, but so far nothing.

    Are you getting logged-out constantly too?

    I don't have any log out issues.

    It just seems that since late January/early February, these forums are snail slow compared to how they used to perform.

    It's very frustrating.

    I agree on the level of frustration. For me, the speed comes and goes. When the slowdowns come (Fridays seem particularly bad), the log-outs normally follow for me. Then, it takes 5 mins. to post a single reply. Bummer!

    Good luck to us all,
