I put in a trouble ticket with the web host and they told me that this has been a problem with the new platform and they are trying to balance the servers to the traffic(??), so eventually it should improve.
I noticed that it does depend on when you login, it just took almost a minute for me to log in just now but early this am it took 4 seconds. There are alternatives such as dedicated servers and more expensive plans, but as of now we have a relatively small number of regular BB users, a fairly inexpensive website monthly cost, and especially NO advertisments or banner ads. We do have, I know, a vendor section but it is not 'in our face' every time we log in and is in fact more of a service to us (imho).
To have a forum like the H.A.M.B., Stovebolt, etc. would throw our budget in the hundred(s) of dollars a month range and require advertisement funding or (?). I think a little slowness is worth the alternative, what are your thoughts?
