Slow Typophile website

André Simard

Is it just on my side, but Typophile is extremely slow these days?

Has been here too (Netherlands) for the last week or so. Time outs occur a lot. Takes the fun out of being here.

Over two weeks from now. Nobody else has that problem?

Everybode else, I think. It's just so slow replying that no major discussion thread has sprung up.

Not as slow now. Seemed to have cleared up today (as in ‘the cloud of Chinese spam locusts has taken of and left the devastated scene’).

Oh my god, it's working properly again! No more lost posts!

Everything is back. Thanks!

Yes. Still too slow now.
I'd check the engine / database.

Slower than a sloth trying to cross the Sahara..... painfully slow!

edit:
It took Typophile about three minute to show me that I actually posted this comment.

Posting the edit above took about 10 seconds …

Posting the edited comment above (which originally was a double post) took 45 seconds …

Nearly a month since the last post, just wanted to add that I've been experiencing this issue as well for the past few months, though it seems to have improved somewhat.

Seems to be fixed at this moment? Is it the same for other members?
