I second that emotion. Very slow, especially this part. Parts for Sale; not so bad, but slower than normal.

We are working on it.

Lots of bots attacking the server.

Also we are getting a lot more spam postings on the forums, AI bots we believe.

Boy them stupid AI bots are getting in everywhere!! They don't even contribute anything to the form!! :evil: This is exactly why I like to call them artificial idiots. :lol:
The form on my end is slow too. I figured it was just my darn phone again. :roll: I sure appreciate all the people who are working to keep the site up for everyone!
In my opinion it's the best place to be on the internet! :D

I use Windows 10 on desktop, Edge or Google for search engine. While it is a little slower for me now, this is nothing new RE slow loading. Some days it loads fine, other not so much. Other sites load at their normal speeds when this one loads slow. I keep my browsing and cache history cleaned up, so guessing that's not the issue at my end.
Jeff, thanks for the job you are doing running the page!
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

So far, so good, today?
Thank you Jeff and Chris, for all you do here! It really IS appreciated! Sometimes more than you know by a few of us that have worked on similar systems and actually do know how much can be involved fixing a "minor" glitch.

Its crazy, luckily for all of us, we chose a really good supplier for our website services. One call, they speak English, and I always get to the right support person who fixes the Problem.
It just takes time! Sometimes longer than I'd like.
