Well, my work here is done, then.

Sort of off the subject, but the N&R seems to be the s-l-o-w-e-s-t loading webpage I open on a regular basis.
I see this slowness when opening the front page, and also when accessing LTE, and various blogs. It either won't open at all, or the status bar stops about halfway and hangs up, making me reload/refresh.
Is it just me??
Thanks.

Dunno. Tell me what operating system (XP, Win2K, OS X, etc.) and browser version (IE 6, Firefox 1.5, whatever) you're using and I'll run it past our tech folks and see what they know. Thanks!

Lex, I run Windows XP (Home Edition) and Firefox 1.5.0.5 for a browser.
I connect using RoadRunner, and most everything else is very fast. I just have loading problems with the N&R site.

Of course, it could be the NSA intercept on my line that's slowing it down...LOL.

Nah, given the universal nature of the NSA surveillance, that would slow EVERYONE down. :-)

It may have to do with our recent server migration. But at any rate, I'm checking with Team Tech and will see whether they can enlighten us. FWIW, I haven't been having any problems with the news site, although some of the blogs (hosted on a different server) have been a bit slow.

OK, thanks, Lex.
It's nothing I can't survive, just annoying at times.

jaycee, if you would, please go to http://www.news-record.com/help/feedback and fill out a form. That process will provide a good bit of technical info that can help our folks troubleshoot the problem. Otherwise, they say, the possibilities are just too many to even know where to start. It also will create a record of the problem so that a rigorous troubleshooting process can be followed, you can be contacted if they need add'l info, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks, Lex.
