Yep. It'll end up being at least five minutes for me to get this reply out. It's worse now than it has been recently, though -- I haven't had a real bad time the last few days except during peak traffic hours.

Yeah, it's really intermittent too. Pulling up this thread took a couple of minutes, but getting a response to post a reply was quick.

Yeah, what KReynolds said.

Intermittent, sometimes very slow, sometimes quick as usual.

I have experienced it, but I always attributed it to board usage at peak times slowing the site down. I try not to use them between 9-5 local time, and it works out alright for me.

I can personally attribute it to any time. When I say it's intermittent, I'm not kidding. It can be slow like this between 9 and 5, or 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...I think you get the idea.

I get speed quirks here on and off throughout the day.

I've been told that my cable connection is subpar, so some of it can certainly be attributed to that -- but in general, I just chalk it up to a very large board being slow sometimes.

I haven't noticed any slowing down, but I'm on dial-up and tend to expect things to take a while.

I have had two people mention that they haven't been able to log onto enworld for the past two days or so though.

I wasn't able to get to the main page or boards yesterday at all, though I did give up after a minute or more of no activity. The boards load qucikly for me despite the lack of broadband so it's not a normal problem for me.

I've noticed this too, and I have DSL, so it isn't on my end. I'd thought that maybe something in my com-pu-tar was messed up, but... ???
