Guys,

We apologize for all the recent problems with the site. We realize there has been a decline in speed and response from the server. A part of that is due to the increased traffic because of football season. We'll be taking steps to optimize performance and get things back to normal as quickly as possible.

We're also working with our advertising company to get rid of all annoying ads. Pop-ups should already be eliminated. If they are not for you, please update this thread or the one in the Feedback forum. We're also working to eliminate the in-line expanding threads that cover up half of the screen. Again, it's not directly in our control and it's very hard to get things changed but know that we're working as hard as we can.

As always, we appreciate your membership and contributions to the site. We try to make it as user-friendly as possible while maintaining top-notch functionality and at the same time paying the bills.

If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to contact myself or any other staff member.

Thanks
