This site is still acting up for me!  I either can't get it to load, or it loads too slowly, or I get the error message, or it sends me here: http://images.google.com/images?q=http: ... kcrag.com/

I can't the the forum to load MOST of the time!    :(

Well this sucks. I leave town for a week and the forum goes to hell. I'll talk with the support people when I get back. I'm sitting at an indistinct airport terminal right now, but I'll allegedly be home early this afternoon.

I think I spoke too soon. Click wait This page can not be displayed, go back, click, wait, page loads. Hard to navigate.

I just keep clicking before it times out. Usually by the 3rd or 4th click the page will load.

The folks at the hosting place have a limit on simultaneous connections, and it looks like we're popular enough now that we hit it. They just doubled it for me, and I've immediately noticed an improvement. Let me know how it is for you.

Slow, but I haven't seen the dreaded timeout...yet.

yes, somewhat better but still slow.  at least it is connecting now.
I may be right.  I may be wrong.  But there is a lot of gray area in-between.

I've noticed that, too!  It's very slow, but every page has loaded so far.

Much better for me now! Thanks Bahua for fixing this.. It was a real pain to post as it would time out everytime so I had started copieing my posts before postning them.
