Not sure if it is something other folks have noticed, but for me the Home page has been taking a long time to load. IE 8 and IE 9. Suggestions?

Just the homepage?

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

I've had instances where SFN-page refused to load on FireFox 10, but I had no problem loading it on IE 6.0

sure, we can overlook the countless security flaws as long as SFN loads up.

I've also had the same issue for some time. I'm using Firefox.

I'm having trouble with several pages. Active users (which might be a restricted page) has started loading slowly every time. And IE isn't an option for some of us. There is no IE for Mac.

To me, it seems to be a server problem, unrelated to browsers used. I get the undocumented impression that the outages are most common in the middle if the night, and the middle of the day, Arizona time.

Using Firefox, I open a browser tab and click my bookmark for SFN. Then I open a second tab so I have something to read while the homepage loads, which can be almost a full minute sometimes.

Yeah, it's bad.

Keep them coming. We want to know about slowdowns, failures to open, and any other such problems. And we would like it reported every time it happens.

What Kil said. I hadn't seen the homepage problems because my bookmark for SFN goes straight to Active Topics, and because I generally go directly to the pages I need to visit, I hardly ever load the homepage.

On the other hand, I just went to the homepage, and it loaded in just over four seconds (I have a stopwatch).

Could it be a time-of-day thing?
