This is the slowest website I've ever used

I am probably going to take a break from TB until things get sorted out. The site is really slow and just feels awkward/cumbersome to navigate. I'm not sure what needed improving (maybe the search functionality) but it seems like most new and improved things these days are just no longer for me.

FWIW, when i logged in this morning it was snail-slow. i deleted my google chrome history (cache) thinking some of the slowness might be on my side. it didn't help. but, in the last hour things have changed with my navigation --- it has become faster, like always...so i'm thinking somebody(s) is working on things...

i think it's just going to take a little time to sort things out by everyone involved, not the least by us, the users.

Likely doing all the indexing, and tweaks! Looks just as fast as the previous site, on my phone, perhaps backup restorable was consuming bandwidth?

Logging in in the 4th I'm seeing significantly faster response from the system. It appears that the problem/issues backlog is getting worked down.

I was having the same experience yesterday -- pages were literally taking minutes to load.

But today TB seems as fast as it ever was in the OG version. I'm also getting used to the new format.

well, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the new layout/interface, but it's working pretty normally for me as far as loading and such.
I recognize that change is inevitable, especially with technology/web stuff, and I am not a non-tech old guy who is just yelling a clouds. .... but geez :rolleyes:

oh well, I guess I'll get used to it like with prior changes.

I already miss the HOME function, and I can't see how to bump my current classified listing ... are these features still around ??
 
Here’s a picture showing you where the bump button is located.
As far as a home function, clicking on the TB logo will bring you back to the main page. Hope this helps.

I have to say that in most all respects the system now seems to be back to the speed I'm used to...at least for me and the functionality I use on TB. I guess these things never go perfectly but the folks behind the scenes got a handle on the problems and worked them off quickly.
