I sure hope this will take care of the speed problems on this board, but I must confess that I am skeptical. The host hasn't been too concerned about fixing things as we've had problems for several months now. I think they are unaware that we are paying for service.
Like I said, I'm skeptical.

I tend to agree with Rob, but I certainly hope I'm wrong!

I've got my fingers crossed.

Actually, the site for me today wasn't as bad as I've seen it.

I'm seeing the same performance as you right now. (About the same time though.)

Like you say, let's see tomorrow.....
