Have you been coming here less since the upgrade?

[Caligastia]

I have because its so damn slow!

I just wondered how many others have been here less lately.

[Henrik]

I visit just as regularly as before, however I have a friend who says he has stopped comming here entirely since it now takes 10 minutes to load a thread even though he has a ADSL connection.

I also find Apolyton very slow, but not intolarably slow.

[Solly]

Shouldn't you be referring to the downgrade? Everyone else is.

[TCO]

It's all part of the grand plan...

p.s. It's good not to be the only whiner...

Well I do like the new look and the new features, but the speed is certainly a downgrade...

I always browse in multiple windows so that I don't have to wait for pages to load. With the slowdown I just have some more windows open at the same time.

[Zopperoni]

I visit Apolyton as often as I can...and still do...I have enough other things to do, so sometimes I even forget I was loading a page

The end is near...

Mark and Dan keep telling us that it's not really a problem.

The site is slower by a wide margin since the change to vBB.

It has become annoying to come here to post about games I'm playing in, to say nothing of the Off-Topics.

But it's not really a problem at all, right?

Guys, you can keep telling us it's no big deal, but we are telling you, it is.

The fun is rapidly leaving Apolyton.

I have had no time problems at all, until I went to make this post. Is it only affecting the Apolyton/Community forum?
I have a normal modem/phoneline connection, so I can't see why people with ADSL lines should have trouble.

The slowdowns are not a consequence of the upgrade, so the question is irrelevant. Yes, I've been coming here less since the slowdowns started less than a week ago. But the upgrade a month ago made little or no difference to speed.

[Lancer]

Snapcase, it's been slower for me since the upgrade. Though sometimes better, sometimes worse, it's always been slower.

I hope folks give the powers that be a chance to iron things out however. Even if you post alot less as I have been, I keep coming back. We're part of a community here, and just because all the traffic lights are stuck on red doesn't mean moving is the answer...unless things aren't better when Civ 3 comes out.

Hmm, funny the change to vBB made the website slower... seeing that there is more to the site than simply forums? Or, did you forget that?

[Provost Harrison]

Actually it is very fast earlier on in the day for me, as fast if not faster than under UBB. But the problem is during the evenings, which is suspected to be a server bandwidth problem, which could do with being addressed, especially with Civ3 on it's way. Go on, slam in a few new processors and hard drives

You are irrelevant you ****ing *****! Of course the slowdowns are a result of the upgrade! Just about everyone on here has had problems since the forums were upgraded so stop being such an arrogant wanker!

I disagree... Right after the upgrade, I saw no problems with the speed of the site when I was posting from home with my cable modem. At the office, things were slow at times because our network was slow, not Apolyton.

This is a recent problem
