Yeah, it seems to have speeded up again.

Next time yall notice it going painfully slow to load, look at the bottom of the Board Index page & Note how many "Users" are online. Yesterday when it was dragging, there were 5 'Registered Users' & 2,279 'Guests'.

Right now it's crazy fast for me, with 7 'Registered Users' & only 334 'Guests'. However, 6 out of the 7 Registered Users online right now are 'Bots'.... :shock:

I'm wondering if the slow times are when massive waves of bots are attempting to access the site, or some type of Distributed Denial of Service attack.

I was unable to get it load for the last 2 mornings. Then this morning it came up instantly. Hope it stays this way.

Yesterday AM was snappy. Then in the afternoon the site was unreachable. As in.. hangs until time out.
This morning back to being snappy.

But, DEFINETLY quicker to load now, & hoping it keeps the spam bots away!
I'd like to know this as well as it's been missing since the update. Yes I did find I could go into the Quick Links but it was much more convenient simply having it available when I brought up the main page of the forum and look to see "what's new".

I just use this as my bookmark and go straight to active topics every time. Still works for me.

Sorry I never went back here to check on a response. The link is what I am having to do now but doesn't seem as good as I used to be able to go through multiple pages just to see the most recent responses. Maybe it's the same? But doesn't "feel" that way to me. Wish it could simply going back to the old feature.

That link is for "Active Topics".... the activity here has been very low, so the list of active topics is pretty short.
On the upper left of every(?) page is the "hamburger menu" (three lines stacked up like a burger between two buns)... it says "quick links" next to it... Maybe one of those links is what you are remembering?

That's the view I'm used to! It's to bad we are not seeing it by default from the main page but at least this way I can easily see what topics are "active". No idea how I missed seeing that. Thanks!
