And oddly (coincidentally) at the moment it seems faster than it ever has been.  Who knows about these things?

I've always felt that the Reallusion server was slow.

I thought it was weird that people are complaining about the slowness of the forum and despite having really poor internet service I don't seem to have the same issues. I just made an interesting discovery - most of the time I view the forum on my ipad and while it is not instant, there is only a very short delay. I just opened this topic on my PC and it took at least 4 times longer to load....anyway I thought it was interesting to note.

I think overzealous anti-virus software may add to delays...

HAH! You may have hit the proverbial nail with that one, Animagic. That is the most likely culprit here - noticed this morning when I looked @ the forum on my phone for the 1st time - it was lightning fast then!  ~V~

I'd be curious to know what folks think this forum is NOT slow at most times -- because it may relate to where it's hosted and how those folks access it.

Since the very beginning I've categorized this forum as "sluggish" at best.  There are times (this morning is one of them) when it's as fast as anything, but that's the exception that proves the rule.  Most of the time anytime I click to reply, or search, or even just open it up it is decidedly less than speedy, making me wait either a short period or a REALLY long period, but in any case much longer than any other forum I frequent or administer.  I just think the forum software itself is to blame, because that's what it feels like to me, but it may be related to where they host and where folks are that access it (I'm in Florida).

I don't think a "server beefing" would help -- but changing forum software is anything but a trivial task and probably will never happen in my lifetime.

The forum software was renewed 3 years ago.
I do not think so fast a new one will come
For the rest, the forum works fast enough.
Open - write, etc. is synonymous not slower or faster than other forums I use (100MBit connection)
However, there have been server problems (at the moment I can not find any)

It´s also a question of browser (you use). Firefox is veeeery slow, Edge works much faster.
Think, the forum software it´s optimized for Edge or Chrome.

Shouldn't be browser dependent -- most forums (and web sites, for that matter) aren't.

But I use Chrome and at times it's painfully slow, so I don't think it's the browser (and Edge...well, the less said about MS's disastrous browsers the better).

It is slow regardless of browser, device, av, or even os, it is sluggish in edge and firefox, don't use chrome because i don't like spyware. Tested it on my phone but all mobile browsers suck big time. Also tested the forums with several OSes, mainly win 10, fedora and linux mint and it is sluggish, so it isn't us, it is either server bandwidth or the server software
