Slow Login

@djensen You could also possibly make support tiers based ons playable A&A nations that could display as country tags. For example, here is a mockup of a French country tag.

Just a neat idea if you’re considering to add more tiers. You could also do the same thing with game pieces if you wanted to.

yes i’ve noticed time of day as well. Is fine currently. 7 pm Central US

Looking back. I probably should’ve selected Discourse as the forum engine. The deployment strategy, at the time, was more complex than I wanted. I had a grudge against Ruby on Rails projects (kinda still do). But the UI was clean. I bet the API is cleaner and less breaking. Making another change might cause more churn though.

If you suddenly experience slow load times on the forum, please report it here. However, please do not report “gut feel” slowness. Instead, if you think the site might be slow, open this image in a new tab and force reload it. If it takes 3+ seconds to load, then the forum is slow. To be even more helpful

Please report:

To get the exact time, open “developer tools” in your browser, which on Chrome is Ctrl-Shit-i or Cmd-Opt-i And do this, after clicking “Clear,” when the cursor goes off screen, force reload the page at that time.

In your case Magister, it most likely is a combination of factors.

Your ping time is slow (on a speed test, I typically ping at 31-34 ms) and your bottom-end download speed is also slow.

Combine that with a slow response server (A&A.org), and you are going to get some very poor results.

If you are on Cable, then you need to do some work on your system.  Perhaps too much running in the background, or perhaps you are in need of having a “system tweek”

I think I have solved the problems with the upgraded version but I seem to be having problems registering a new user.
