Does this site seem slow to anyone else?

I have noticed the site seems slower the last coupe of days. It has been taking a long time after I click on a thread in the message boards for the thread to actually appear. It does not appear to be related to the mystery photo game since it appears slow no matter when I am on. Just wondering if it is me or if others have noticed.

I have to be honest, I haven't noticed it slowing down, although due to the time difference, I'm often here at the less popular times...

Usually whenever PassPorter has a new contest, like the current iPad Photo Contest, going on from now until May 1st, some slowdowns are to be expected, but it's going to be "felt" more at busier times like first thing in the morning (for those getting to work and/or the kids off to school ), around lunchtime, and/or early evening. So, if it's really noticeable and you're on during these times, try to skew -- I know! Its' so easier said than done. LOL -- your regular visits for a slightly more "off" time. Also, once the contest is over, the site should be back to normal even at the more usual peak hours.

Hope that helps a little. Although I have to say that this time around, the contest hasn't seemed to bog us down nearly as bad as the first one. Whew. That one was definitely more painful.

EDIT: However, if you notice it no matter when, even at like super odd hours, PM Jennifer and let her know! Plus, I'll move this to the "main" PassPorter forum so she can see it and keep a better eye on anyone else reporting the same.

I will look into it. It seems okay to me, but this is one of our busiest times!
