Loving the quick response on the forum. Looks like it has been updated. Thank you Charles and team. This is such a valuable site for 2A discussions!

The "Active Threads" section is no longer showing when I log in. Is there someplace you go to restore it showing at the top?

If you click on Quick links upper left side, "Active topics" is there. I think that is what you're looking for.

Before the update the "Active Topics" seemed to be the default page to load. Is there a User-level setting that needs to be changed to have Active Topics show up when visiting the Forum? Or, is that perhaps a back-side Admin setting that directs / redirects which page initially loads by default?

But, DEFINETLY quicker to load now, & hoping it keeps the spam bots away!

The speed of the Forum is definitely improved. The Active Topics thing is no big deal, just have to make another click or two to bring it up. I haven't found a user level setting for it.

Curious how Bots became registered users? At least this serves as a reminder that everything posted here is being read/captured by these bots.

Hmmmm.. Slower than cold molasses on my end. Click on anything (Reply, Submit, whatever, including opening the site), it takes 30-40 seconds to respond.

Yesterday, 25 April, it was blazing fast to load pages.

This morning, 26 April, it's slow to load like you're experiencing. Both on phone & laptop.

Lots of failure to load at all yesterday and some the few days before.... and also early this morning... Now slow but manageable.
Not sure when it was "fast", I definitely missed that moment.
