When we switched to the new forum earlier this fall, we also brought a powerful new server online to keep things running smoothly. In the last week, our volume spikes put the server under quite a bit of load. Although our members probably didn’t notice much more than slightly slower page load times, we’ll be conducting an upgrade within the next day or so. The outage should be fairly brief and will be done at a time of day when comparatively few of our U.S. members are visiting. When we’re back online you should see the zippy performance you’ve come to expect here at College Confidential.
Thanks for your patience!
