Check it out for yourselves guys... we've had someone in to optimize the forums and the server and all pages inside the forums should now be A LOT more responsive and quicker to load.

great! it does seem more responsive, but it could be placebo effect.. nice to see you around, Matt!

Good job. (Y)
It does seem as though there's something wrong with the cookies though, because some threads that I already read days ago show up as unread in all of a sudden.

Same thing with me, but it seems to cover it up as you've read them again, so no real problem. Keep up the good work. (Y)

Great news!
The thing that was (sometimes) noticible for me is when the forum website connects to www.adnet.cc. The browser seems to wait forever for a response (note that this only occurs every now and then for me.)
Anyway, this seems to be an external factor so nevermind..
