Frankly, The new C9 is almost unusable and not a joy to visit at all. Not only for lack of essential forum functionality alone, but because it's TOO SLOW! It's like a lottory. Sometimes, I click and it's fast. Sometimes I click and weeeeeeee, it goes to sleep for like 30 seconds. Each click then takes average 10 seconds to respond.
I'm not sure why this is happening. Too few server? Too much load on the servers? Bad line? Bad "AJAX" components? Something is wrong. I got a 100/100 line, Q6600 CPU, so it isn't my line nor my PC.
The old C9 was a bit slow, but no way close to this. I am not sure for how long I can take this slowness.
