Slow? Oh no! Say it ain't so, Joe!

Update Oct 14th @ 2 PM: We contracted some server professionals this morning who have swapped out half the software used to run Bonanzle to a different platform better built for sites with lots of traffic. In all tests since, I've gotten login page to load in usually 3-5 seconds, 10 tops. This is a good sign. Just wanted to drop the briefest of lines here to say that yes we have noticed that the site (in particular, the secure pages, like the login, new user form, and eBay importer) has been lagging a bit during peak hours the last couple days (in particular, today). It is my sole focus currently to stamp out whatever is making the login page lag, and I'm sure it will be ironed out by mid-week. Which means you Tuesday Ticklers may have to deal with a bit of lag... we shall see. In the meantime, you can make your life slightly easier if you click the "Stay logged in" checkbox when you login, that way you don't have to visit the page in the first place. If you do have to visit the page, rest assured it will always load eventually, but sometimes it is taking 1-2 minutes during our peak traffic times. This should help to explain some of what is making it difficult for the site to keep up: Thanks a lot for the traffic, you jerks. :-)
