Site Running Slow as Molasses

As we say in the South, our Ning Site is running slow as molasses! It's painful. Before I submit a support ticket, anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks in advance,
Jen

Mine is running at full speed. As we've all learned using the Internet, patience is the virtue here.

I know when I turned it on this morning my site was still down. I went to log into a couple other sites I belong to and thiers was up and running.

Being in the South at one time in my life, ...I would say it's like this. It's kind of like restoring the electricity to a community after a hurricane. Some people will get theirs restored earlier than others. Luckily I lived on a highway near the coast of NC which most of the businesses were on in that small town. So we were always one of the first to get our electricity back.

I'm sure it's going to be the same way after the maintenance they did last night. With a little patience, all will be back up and running at full speed. ...Hang in there.

My network is running at full speed now. However, when I logged into it first thing this morning it was slower but then performed normally after that.

Thanks Steve and Robert - - I appreciate your response. I think I'll wait a while before submitting a ticket, and see if this gets better. I just checked, and it seemed better just since I created this discussion.

LOL! I couldn't remember if folks outside the Mason-Dixon used the molasses idiom. LOL!

LOL, yeah, hoping I didn't insult Team Ning. I was just adding a little humor to what appeared to be a fairly serious issue -- at the time.

My main network is slow as well. And Creators hasn't been responding as normal. The rest of the web seems fine.

Tim, misswings, Roby - - I'm still experiencing slow loads, but not as bad as before. Thanks for responding.

Tim & misswings, I hope yours is "up to speed" soon, too.

Hey Jen!

Do you have a benchmark and time frame for how long it's taking to load? Can you tell that it's Ning elements - ie images etc?
When we do platform wide maintenances, all caches are cleared which still shouldn't cause 'slow as molasses' load times, but may take slightly longer with the initial load.

Thanks,
Laura
