New server joins us...

After struggling with speed problems on the forums here, I decided to try an experiment to move searches off of the main server and onto an alternative one. The searches previously were making the forums very slow. This new server should make things run faster, although it's somewhat untested, so I'm not 100% sure how it will be...

???

In Texas, I do not notice any slow response time on the forums, but I am on very early before the work day starts usually. Thanks for making this resourse available. Without the forums I would not have had a clue as to how to build the RSR-look in Viper green that I just finished and had a successful weekend on the track.

The new server, for me at least, makes the forums more responsive when just browsing and the search appears faster as well.

Wayne,

Posting in from Iraq here - the forum has picked up in speed (over sat conncetion so it was noticeable) I use the heck out of the search feature, its working just fine for me.

Thanks for keeping the forum up - its a resource to no end,

So far running well. Over the last few months I was definitely getting tired of waiting for screens to open up!

I understand nothing about this except that Wayne is spending cash on my addiction and for this I am grateful.

Regards,

Scott

I had a problem with the search results page repeatedly reloading until I hit the 'stop' button on IE6. Never happened before - related?

It does seem faster today - thanks! This site's been painfully slow as of late. I usually chalk it up to crappy wireless, but even on my office computer (which is a wired connection) it's been hanging a lot.

edit: the slowness seemed to be at its worst when my hands were covered in grease, trying to find answers to problems!

What's with all the double posting? Happened to me yesterday, and I've seen more than usual # of double posts lately. (No, I did not hit the POST REPLY button twice)
