I have more slowness issues with the CF than probably any other site. We haven't had rain in weeks and there are times that I could watch the grass grow faster than the forums loading a page. It isn't consistent. Some threads load right up and let you return to the main forum quickly, others just take too long. As Rich noted, waiting for a post to complete and return me to the thread was a very slow process just a few minutes ago. But, again, there is not a consistency with what is happening and in what thread. Just crummy throughput too frequently.

Some of the threads are slow because of the pictures. We are getting threads that are heavier with photos, which is fine, but folks want to remember to use 72dpi and a fair amount of compression. There are times I pity the poor person dealing with a dial up connection trying to look at some of the picture heavy threads.
