Solo, we're addressing that. Basically, with the lack of dedicated hosting, I think we're straining the connections for our simple shared hosting. For some, the forum runs swift, for others it's bad - so we need to fix that. With the software upgrade and a hosting upgrade, we should be good. We weren't expecting this kind of intial response.
Haha, the forum was slow at home but it's blazing for me at work. Go figure.
