Forum speed issues

[cycleguy55]

Response times to pings seem reasonable, but page loads often time out or, like others, I get 'connection reset' messages. May need to run some diagnostic tools on the server(s) to figure out what's going on (or not) and where the bottleneck(s) is.

I believe the answer lies it hitting the button in the upper right hand corner in bright green that says be a CC Contributor.

I plan on doing that when I get to my desk in the morning. Having the forum down for a few days makes me realize how much I appreciate it.
