FORUM ISSUES: Report Upgraded Issues in this thread

I'm still experiencing horrible performance.

I'm not usually a very negative person, but the facts are these: This thread was started two months ago as the upgrade was rolled out. Initially, performance was terrible and there were lots of errors. Those errors have gotten better, and the performance has, at times, been at a tolerable level. However, this site is now, by FAR, the worst performing site I visit. I have not gotten through a single twenty minute span without attempting to post a reply where the site just hung there for minutes (if not forever, as I usually give up after a minute or two). There does seem to be a pattern: The longer I stay on any one page, the more likely it is to not navigate anywhere else). Quite often, I can solve this by closing my browser and opening a new one, but that's absurd.

Even when it is running fairly quickly, the performance of the site is the worst I know of. Maybe that is because of the nature of this kind of site, but I fear that it is just that there are so many bells and whistles that have been added that performance was sacrificed in favor of appearance. At this point, I'd be much happier going back to the old system. There is nothing about the new look that is sufficient to justify the truly terrible performance.

This is certainly my favorite site to visit, and my post count and longevity certainly support that statement. However, were it any other site, I would have left permanently due to the performance. The performance is not consistently bad, but even at its best, it is mediocre. I would like to suggest that a plan be made to rollback. At some point, you have to start to wonder whether or not the consistently bad behavior of the software is really due to the volume of the site, or just a failed attempt to put form ahead of function.
