Perhaps unique, but after being flaky again off and on, the site would not load at all today - slow slow slow and then default to blank pages.Life is short, too short to watch wheels spinning endlessly. LOL I wish you all the very best!

QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnNo, very slow.Yes, I spoke too soon - now very slow.As an inspiration for those who like to go fast; here is what my day is like - up at 5 am and by 5:30 am, I am breaking from the gate. Watch closely, no time to lose there:Breeder's Cup Turf Sprint 2015So it's all rowing and running hard until noon, take a little break and then settle into the marathon pace until midnight.Cheltenham Gold Cup 2015Coming up soon. Thinking about it, but for now taking it one stride and one hurdle at a time. :)So we'll see you when the site is as fast as a turf sprinter going a first quarter in 21 and change.

Those are cool, but I prefer athletic vitesse! Clips on a small screen don't do the sport justice. Some of these players are just terrific with explosive speed heading for the end zone.Antonio Brown's Amazing Punt Return TD & Hilarious Goal Post Celebration! | Colts vs. Steelers | NFL 2015Have to go to youtube to see it though. Just click here, not the windowI saw this game on a big plasma TV and it was great!

Apologies all. I have been unwell since Friday and now that I am back at my best, I am working to fix the issues that were causing the site to crawl. I hope you see improvements in speed today. James

I hope you see improvements in speed today. JamesGood that you feel better!Not sure if you could say, but is there anything that users can do to help?Don't post so many videos? Things changed when you added the inline video feature?Don't quote quotes of quotes of quotes of...? Some people go crazy with that all the way down a page.Don't keep too many pages open at a time?Clean out your mail once in awhile? (Mine is empty as always)Don't use deprecated browsers?I am not an expert on servers, (and maybe you should not divulge the problems, even if some are user-based (inadvertently).But if widespread use of deprecated browsers is an issue for example, perhaps there is a way to post a notice about that.Too bad for some of us who love our older and otherwise high performance machines to make things bad for everyone else.
