    Thumbs up Wow!! WHT is actually loading fast!!!

    I tried to visit WHT this morning around 7:30 am Pacific Time and it was down for maintenance. I came back now and it's running almost as fast as most other boards I visit instead of the usual super sluggish ad loading delays. This is amazing. Will it last? Please tell me it will, lie to me if you have to.

    If it stays like this I'll disable my ad blocker plugin so I can see a few ads once in a while. WTG WHT!!!!

    Dont see the improvement at all; if anything at all it feels more sluggish to me, no idea what was the upgrade about but it didn't change anything i can 'feel' or 'see'.

    I would love to block the adds as well, but i want to see what others are advertising; keep an eye on the market the easy way

    So far, i've noticed that there are bookmarks and tags at the bottom of threads, and a community link at the top in the sub-menu.

    I can't say that I noticed a difference either. We're both in Europe, maybe that has something to do with it?

    Loads faster for me in the US. Has been all morning since the upgrade.
    If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

    Good to hear the US visitors seem to have a faster load; maybe its just busy on the pipes over the big pond, or the fishes are lazy today

    Those darn fishes eatin the intarwebz.

    I hadn't noticed any speed increases because the forum was always fast for me, but now that you guys mention it I believe it has improved a bit.

    No problem here with download speed, but I don't really recall ever having a problem with WHT.
