Server slow down?

Is it just me or have the servers slowed down considerably? When I click on the "MyPond" link above, it usually takes up to 50 seconds for the page to load - forum loads a lot faster. Usually the menu bar and some part of the left column is loaded after a few seconds, but the "browse categories" box, the main content area and the footer line take at least 30 seconds to load.

If it's just me with all those clips, I can live with it (but I'd still like to know). But if customers have to wait that long on the login, that's no good. Customers don't like waiting...

Hi, I did some db maintenance and now it should be ok again. Please tell me if it isn't at your end.

Wow, that was some HUGE improvement. Each pages loads in a blink! I'm impressed. :)

Hey the Pond5 guys and gals are on top of it. Their response is better than any other site I work with, THANKS!
