Anyone finding the forums unusually slow?

<p>I am having trouble connecting to Collegeconfidenital.com. In addition, when I can get through to the discussion forum, I am finding navagating the forum to be agonizingly slow despite very fast internet connections. Anyone else experience this?</p>

<p>yes; it is impossible today. I could not get any connection at all to collegeconfidential.com but slowly managed to connect to talk.collegeconfidential.com</p>

<p>However, it is so agonizingly slow I am giving up.</p>

<p>Yes, I thought the dial-up gremlins had come back to haunt me!</p>

<p>YES!!!! What's up?!!</p>

<p>This is so annoying....guess it is divine intervention telling me I waste too much time on this website!</p>

<p>I ...... only ...... logged ......... on....... to ..... this ....... thread ........ to ....... refer ....... to ........ digmedia's ......... old ......... molasses ........ thread....., but...... he ........ beat....... me ........ to ...... it......</p>

<p>digmedia, you sneaky lurker, you. I <em>was</em> also hoping for an enlightening explanation from someone, though. :(</p>

<p>extremely slow. I thought at first it had something to do with AOL, which was inabel to send mail for a while this morning, but it seems to be CC, not AOL at this point. Hope it can be addressed/corrected soon (before I get over my CC addiction).</p>

<p>I am having the same problem. I tried going on through both AOL and internet explorer. Since all my other sites are responding very quickly, I am assuming it's something peculiar to this website.</p>

<p>I, too, would like to know the source of the problem. Is it just the heavy volume of posters on the server?</p>

<p>Yeah!!! No more problems!!!</p>

<p>Still real slow getting in...but almost quick moving from forum to forum once I get in...mods, can you tell us the problem and when (approximately) it might be fixed? Thanks..</p>

<p>There is a featured post on the main page:</p>

<p>For those of you who have been trying to reach the main College Confidential site, it has been down since earlier this morning due to a major connectivity outage at the datacenter where it is hosted. Fortunately, our CC forum data center is in a different state. The forum experienced some slowness earlier due to trying to communicate with the other datacenter, but we've implemented a workaround and the forums are now loading pages quickly.</p>

<p>Just in case you are saying, "Huh? There's more to CC than the forum?", be sure to check out the college admissions articles, college book reviews, Ask The Dean, college counseling, and much more. Don't miss free tools like the Academic Index Calculator and Estimated Family Contribution Calculator.</p>

<p>But, wait until the site is back up! Thanks for your patience!</p>

<p>Thanks for explaining, Trinity...</p>

<p>yes - still slow</p>
