Is the site slow today?

I was creating a Showcase earlier, and when I tried to save the draft, I got a message saying site updates were being made or something like that, and I had to wait a while before I could upload any more pics or save my showcase. Since then, the site has been excruciating slow for me. Every click takes 3 - 6 seconds before the page changes or postings are saved. Anyone else experiencing this?

Sorry about that @MoonShadows - yes the site may be operating slow for some people at the moment, I had to make some server changes which meant that DNS updates are still rolling out for some people (meaning that your PC is still accessing the site from an old server).

It should take a maximum of 1 hour (from when you first noticed the problem) for your PC to update and use the new location. If you're using Windows and are tech savvy, you may be able to speed this up by running "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt.

Thanks for the heads up, Ian. I figured it was site issue, because I have regular speed with other websites. I'll flush my dns cache now.

Site was back up to speed shortly after I flushed my DNS.
