the only difference I see so far is the board moving at the opposite of light-speed. As in about five minutes to load up a single topic.
Count yourself lucky that you only had to wait five minutes for posts to come up. I wasn't able to open topics until shortly before I posted my reply to Josette in this topic.
I don't quite understand what was going on because I could do anything else I wanted to do: navigate to any category/board, read/send IMs, access the forum's administration center, access our Web space, and access the forum database without any delay or problem whatsoever.
The very same thing happened one night last week, but it only lasted about 45 minutes. Interestingly, that time as well as this, I couldn't access our host's home page or their support forum, so I'm assuming whatever went on at these times is related to something our host was doing with regard to their servers. But as of this moment I have no idea what it was.
I hope that's not the fundamental change one needs to get used to.
Not so far as we've planned. And there's already a full agenda for the week. But you know, if you'd like me to, I'm sure at some point in the future I could add time delays into some of the forum's scripts - particularly if you ask me nicely. PHP has its own time delay functions built into it - and if you give me enough time, I might be able to develop a few of my own.
