slowness?

Hi rocky - have you tried clearing your cookies/cache/etc? Sometimes the site slows down for you if your machine is filling up with cookies (the site uses them).

Oh - we do not host this forum. It's hosted at Sparklit, so we don't have a server to upgrade. I will also ask the Help desk folks @ sparklit if the number of posts affects load time.

We'll probably do some archiving as well at some point. We just need to decide how long to save posts for. Any thoughts?

oh I didn't know that, how do I clear my cache??

I don't know about saving posts....I don't think anything longer than a month is necessary...but I don't know about less??

rocky, it's under "internet options" in internet explorer (I'm not in I.E. at the moment, but I think it's in the "tools" menu?) and in Safari (mac) there are options for "reset safari" and "clear cache" in the main "safari" menu and you'd use both of those.

Ok, here are directions for clearing your cache in internet explorer
