Well, let's try this test. As I post this at 6:10 a.m. on Tuesday, 9 13 2011 there were 8160 posts showing as having been posted. I'll check this at 6 p.m. this evening and at 6 a.m. Wednesday morn to see how many posts get through, but with other posters saying there are other abnormalities in the accounting functions (number of members?) who knows.
One thing's for sure...it's slow...that pouring molassess in winter is the best description yet !
OK, it's 5:10 a.m. Wednesday, 9 14 2011 and looks like things are about back to normal.
Signing in, going to most recent posts, going to a specific thread like this one all took only 2 seconds or so instead of 2 to 3 minutes (and sometimes not getting there).
Between 6 a.m. yesterday and 5:10 a.m. today there have been 15 posts, with 4 of those coming this morning between 4 and 5 a.m. Pacific time from tclane and me.
We're back !
