The forum has been slow in the evenings and nights for the past week or so. It's really fast during the day. It's probably just a normal bandwith issue as the sight gets more traffic in the evening than during the day, but I thought I'd point it out anyway in the rare event that there is a fixable problem. :)

yep. It's running slowly for me, too. :(

Guess that'll force me to work on my thesis research... ;)

I hate to say it, but ditto for me. I went through and cleared out all my history, temporary internet files, and I re-cycled the power on my modem, all of which usually helps. No luck here. I guess that'll make me study. Dammit.

It's 2:20 est and it's going great. However when I was on earlier between 10-11 it was really slow.

Evening slowness seems to be beginning again. Here's a tracert. I know how to do them, but not a clue as to how to read them and interpret the problem. :)

It seems to get really bad around 10pm-12am EST, I won't be on then to do another tracert tonight though, because I'm going to a movie. Maybe someone else who has been experiencing evening slowness can do one.
