the site seems a bit slow to load.  Have you talked to your host or consider an upgrade to your hosting services?  Maybe it's the website being a little slow?

I love the look of the site & honestly, it looks better than any other forum I've seen recently.  Easy to navigate and the topics seem very relevant to small business needs.  I hope to be more active here, but if what I've seen in the past 24 hours is true, the activity doesn't seem to be as high as I was hoping.  Nonetheless, I hope it's more active and hope to get more use out of it.

Also, not sure why, but sometimes links on the site don't seem to function (or are VERRRRRRRY delayed). For example, I was clicking on "My Forum Posts" doing anything from literally clicking on it over and over to trying to open it in another tab or browser, but all it did was give me the default view of the forums.  Eventually, I would just click on the "Latest Posts" link (if I could even get there at times) which I can't put here since I'm too new to the site.  Will hopefully do it later after I can start posting urls.

Hi Speshilk,

Thanks for the site feedback.  We are in the process of auditing and switching to a much more robust hosting platform and site infrastructure early Q2 of 2011.

The site, however, should typically load quickly for you.  If you continue to encounter this slow loading, please contact me (info@startupnation.com) and send me details about which pages are problematic.

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

Just clicked reply & trying to straighten this font out to differentiate it from yours below, but anyway...

The site seems a tad better today, but honestly, it's still a bit slower than some of the other forums I've visited.  It might be my ISP though...so bear that in mind.

One annoying thing though is when you look at "my forum posts" to see if there's any updates, it doesn't open up, but just reloads the page typically.  I usually have to open up the thread in a new browser, but sometimes that even just opens up the forum topics.  You may want to QA that one.  ;)


Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback.  I appreciate team members replying directly.  Best of luck with the changes coming up!  I love the look of the site still and think it's relatively user friendly looking versus most other UI's for other forums which are still in the dinosaur ages.  LOL

Happy Holidays!

Speshilk, the "My Forum Topics" link should be working better for you now.  Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the follow up Oleg.  I didn't realize anyone replied, but the links on the right still go to the forum topics & not the exact thread.

It seems a lot faster at least today.  ;)

Happy holidays!
