The lights are on
As I mentioned last night, we had some major slow down issues yesterday, which we addressed and so today should go much smoother (fingers crossed).
We are having some troubles on the testing environment, but I still hope to have that patch today, which should fix pagination in the forums and some other forum issues.
I just upped the size of the signatures, so it should be easier to fit in your fav signatures. Let me know if it isn't enough.
We are still working hard here, and looking for solutions to make everything better. Hang in there!
Cheers,

Was it slow yesterday, because pages loaded really fast for me yesterday. Unless you're talking about something else.
I don't wanna be one of those folks that are a negative Nancy but I miss the simplicity of the old format. Maybe I just need more time.
I understand. I can't bring the old site back, but I can work to try and make this site's forums what the community wants. That's my job. =)
Good work so far! The site is easy to navigate, looks delicious, and from what I've read from six days of forum posts, this has the makings of a great gaming community.
So keep it up! As an avid fan of Rob Schneider, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
When can we finally be able to access older threads past the first page on a given forum?
Also, since the sigs were enlarged, can that be done to avatars to at the very least match the old site's size?
Also, Andy, could you reply to my PM? :)
I'm not back! P.S. Blade still sucks. Also, Gamefreaks cannot compete with my love for Zelda!
Yeah, yesterday was really slow in loading; but today seems much better : )
Pboy, the old site was definitely simpler, but there is SO much more to the new site. Have you tried putting up your Hero Image, joining groups, reading the blogs, etc? As far as the Forums go, yes there is more navigation to go through, but I think you'll definitely get used to it if you give it more time.
Thanks for the signature extension!! It kept telling me my signature was too big, so this should be way better.

This. Also, I think the "quote post" option should be readily available instead of having to go under advanced reply. I think you guys are doing a great job, btw. Keep up the good work!
Its been alot better today. It took about twenty minutes to load up the registration page yesterday, lol.
I notice the site was running slow but thanks for fixing it!
The site was slow yesterday? It's faster today? I would say I am having the opposite experience. Yesterday seemed far faster.
Anyway, keep up the good work guys! It's nice to actually see that ideas the community suggests are being actively implemented. I'm starting to sound like a broken record now, but I'll say it again: Everything is an improvement, EXCEPT the Forums. We need more of the old there.
It is indeed a lot faster, if i encounter any other bugs Ill post it here!
It seems faster today, yesterday blah.
