Slow loading pages

[Dry Heat]

Is anybody else starting to play solitare between pages?

For real; is there a problem with me Spark, or has something changed, and the pages are taking enormous amounts of time to load. The longer I'm on, the faster they seem to go, generally but not always.

If the pages load slow, it's not the server, but something between you and us. It could be anything between your modem, ISP and our server, but the server speed is clocking right along at full steam ahead.

Sometimes threads take longer to display because of the sheer amount of content in them. Generally, once the thread get's up there in posts (around 30+), you are going to see a marked decrease in page loading. We try to allieviate that by having the threads break into seperate pages at 40 posts, but sometimes that doesn't help all that much with the huge initial page.

Yeah, slow here in Au as well. Have shut down a couple of times today but it is not much better.
All of my regular US sites seem affected...not just BF.
