Is the new forum cool?

[Indiana]

The new forum is much faster here as well. The old one sometimes was near to unbearable...

Still not one "No way!" vote. I guess this result should be clear enough, we might have to put a few "No way!" votes to make the result look more uncensored...

P.S.: Ant, any chance to get the spell-checker added to this new forum?

Shortly after I last posted, my server (Telus) went completely offline. When I finally regained internet access again, I found to my delight that the forum pages here now appear MUCH more quickly. I ran the HyperTrace test anyway and here's my results.

If the forum seems to slow down again, I'll run the test a second time to see where the problem is. Thanks Ant.

It seems to me that the new forums run slower. Does this tell you anything? I have no clue what all of this means.

Actually, the only time I've noticed the new forums being slow is when editing a post. After I hit submit changes, it pauses for a short time (~3-5 seconds) before I get the confirmation page. When posting, it pops up almost right away (1 second or less).

Here, you can see the traceroute of someone who lives very close to the server
