Friday - 6:38PM and accessing SMC is excruciatingly slow - like dialup speed or worse. I'm using Comcast internet and have 4 other browser windows open on other sites. Those all seem to be working fine (normal speed). Tried firing up a fresh browser window to access SMC but it didn't change anything. Anybody else having problems?

Yup, same thing out here in the Real World.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

I'm having the same problem. Tried rebooting to no avail. I'm also on comcast - I wonder it they're having problems.Originally Posted by Doug Shepard

No, it's not just you on Comcast. I'm on Charter and mine is slow. Times out sometimes. Mine's been like this since early this morning.

I just checked and it appears that we are being attacked by the Search Engine Bots. I will discuss this with Aaron, we do have the capability to ban them from crawling SMC.

I have been having the same thing. Seems to be better for the moment.

What are search engine bots?
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

I've been suffering up here in the top right corner for the past few days too.
Log on everything is fine and speedy for a half hour or so. Then it gets stuck in some wicked awful molasses. Walk away for an hour and then everything is peachy for another 30 minutes. Over and over.
How is it that the search bots (whatever they are) do this?

Search Engine Bots...
The simple answer is that they are programs that search web sites for information, this is one of the ways Google and Yahoo load up their engines. They send out their web crawlers (Bots) and extract information from a domain, these are generally keyed to the keywords and other information that most web sites have imbedded in the HTML code just for the Bots.

Aaron,
I tried to log on early this afternoon. I took me 20 minutes to get one post half way opened up.I said the heck with it and went to a fishing forum similar to SMC. Had no problem there.
TIA

Yep, same here, and I was just now able to get on starting from about 5 am. I guess with dial-up, it just wouldn't load at all because I left and came back an hour later and it was still sitting there.

Oh the horror! I was desperate all day to search for some info here. I must've hit refresh several hundred times... Makes one realize what a good resource we have here.
