Yes, it's very slow for me sometimes....

Has been sporadically slow for months. It's not part of the server move, because the server has not been moved, only given an alias address.

It's been getting gradually slower for me over the past 3-4 days, sometimes taking anything up to 20 seconds to load a page over a 20MB broadband connection.

I wish mine was that fast...

Steve, Ken and I have tried to convince Corel do something about this. However It appears that they just are not interested in this board running fast(er), upgrading or anything else. As Blacklab stated above, it has not been moved to a new or faster server, which is what we were told. They are just using an alias for the web board. Running a traceroute on the current url of this web board will lead you to the old url...

And for what it is worth, I first raised the latest slowness in the Moderator group more than two weeks ago, but nothing has happened, except that the slowness has continued. In my case, on a much slower broadband connection, it can take between one and two minutes sometimes to post a thread or a reply. Yet at other times it seems to be normal...

EDIT: FWIW it took 1 minute 7 seconds to post the above!!

My entire internet is slow WHEN it is working

My ISP is posting me a new Cable Modem, meanwhile I am trudging along - in between resetting the modem.

Same problem, most of the time i cannot be bothered to wait so i just shut the page down & try it a bit later as with Ken it can take a minute to post anything & about 30-40 secs to open a page.
Corel running true to form again then ??? not giving a **** about it's customers

I also suffer the same effect - and I'm using a DSL modem, which I know to be good. When it's really slow, I just close the Corel forum tab in my browser - and that seems to be happening more of late.

... and I am currently at my beach house for a long weekend, with only an old dial-up connection. You can imagine what joy it is to be on the Board with that just at the moment!!!

You could probably finish off a couple of margaritas before a new post opens!

LOL. I thought bandwidth woes are common in this part of the world

Corel should work on the quicker page loads as newbies joining this forum has increased many fold and bulging

when I came to the forum today it was really fast, then it became so
slow that the pages timed out once

Nothing has changed at Corel since Michael Cowpland started the company and was at the helm.

He's gone and they are still at it, stuffing up things that worked fine before they got their hands on it.

Hello

It would appear to me that Corel are totally disinterested in the views expressed by forum members.

Could this be a means of closing down the forum completely. It appears that they are having some success in that the number of posts are going down all of the time.

This means the forum is becoming less useful as a depository for top quality information and for solving problems for members.

It is also becoming redundant for voicing opinions about Corel products, either good or bad, the latter maybe the reason for the problems being experienced by members to log in, read, post or search for previous topics.

I am sure that the administrators have explored all possible solutions with Corel.

Maybe it is time for the site to become independent of Corel and have its own webspace without having to 'touch the cap' to Corel.

Kind Regards

PS I have just tried to search and I am getting a byte allocation error.
