About the same here. No errors whatsoever.
Delay 2-4 sec, I'd say mostly around 2 sec.

Gasp indeed. Strange. Will look at it.

After server glitch I've moved everything to new server as can be seen things are not all setup yet but because of the down time I thought I'd just let it ride instead of putting it into maintenance mode. Unfortunately I had an appointment so not going to get to look at fixing everything else, e.g. forum themes not setup. But Should get to it later today.

Sorry for all the issues and even though I'm up to a 16 hour work day after this 1hr or so appointment I plan on continuing to work on resolving all remaining issues.

Thanks for your understanding

Heh, it confused me for a minute until I read the forum title.

Thought it was Saviour's Forum. :D

At least our community hasn't fallen apart.

EDIT: Darn, no *Topic Starter mod....

EDIT2: Ooh, nice scrollbar:

      As I tried to mention above (sorry I'm probably incoherent with my lack of sleep) forums still coming online slowly but should be getting back to how they were. Should really notice no difference when done.

      Hard to fix issue because DNS keeps trying to send me back to old server.

      Thanks yeah I finally gave in and took a few hour nap. Mainly because the DNS issues were bugging me kept getting the old server, but looks like most of the Internet DNS servers have new server information and things are definately a lot better. :)

      I guess we have to re-upload our profile pictures?

      EDIT: Ah, nevermind.

      Around 9 AM Eastern it was running decent but i noticed replies took longer to load than Topics...
      Then a brief network server timeout for 'bout an hour.

      11:30 AM Eastern right now and it's the fastest i've ever seen it ! !
      Both ways...

      Kudos and Thanx Again to Nathan for all his hard work and sleepless evenings...
