All day today I've been getting time out errors, the page is taking too long to load/respond when I enter the site or post something. posted originally in the System update Thread, but thought this might get more attention. I don't know if it's my provider, Uverse, or the site host. Anyone else having problems?

Judging from the time of your post, looks like you hit the site right around the :12 backup time.
I have been having the same issues all evening and it isn't during the hourly site back up either. Just happend 3 times trying to access this thread.
Evening guys.
I haven't seen the site moving slow. Question: is it moving slow sometimes and then moving fast and normal, or is it all slow for you? It's very speedy for me here.

I've clicked on threads and have given up on them loading, so stopped the process and navigated somewhere else on the site and had no problem. Have had the same happen when hopping from one forum to another. Not just today, but since the server migration.
I'll have to keep an eye on the clock for timing to see if there's a connection.
OK, it just did it now, trying to preview this message. Loading, loading, with status bar at bottom reading "connecting to automaticwasher.org"
After typing those two sentences, I hit preview again and it brought it right up.

Matt & Ralph are experiencing all the same things I am. Started this weekend.
What's odd is I haven't seen one bit of a slowdown. Guys please do notice and see if it happens at a certain time.
I wonder if it might have to do with site propagation. Not sure.
What about others, I'd also like to hear from members who have had little or no speed issues that way I can see how widespread it is. I wonder if there is some connection with those affected. I'll also put in a tech support ticket to be sure everything is good on their end.
Thanks everyone.

I have experianced that since you changed servers. I haven't paid attention to how often it has happened, but I will watch more closely for a while. It has been fine so far tonight.

Been super quick here. Much better than before the move.
Me too, that's what is puzzling to me.
Here is something odd, I just traced Bob's, Ralph's and Matt's IP address to their source and they all resolve to a company called "SBC Internet Services". Most others do not, we resolve to Comcast. At work we have Comast as well except its on a T1 line, so the site is absolutely blazing from work. But I rarely get to see the site on other ISPs, so I wonder if I'm missing something.

Well, obviously all 3 of us have Southwestern Bell/AT&T Internet providder. Sunday evening around 11:00 pm my time, I lost internet. IT was down for several hours, but up again by 5:30 the next morning. That's the first time I've an interruption like that in several years.
Me, too.
I have AT&T/Ohio Bell "HSI Express," and there have been times in the last 10-12 hours when I have not been able to get to pages/threads at all. Sometimes pictures have loaded well, and other times, not at all.

When I first selected AWO
from my favorites before noon PST today thought something must be wrong as it
wouldn't open; as if it were "down" . After several tries it did open, but it appeared as if it had had a slight stroke. Things bunched up and compresssed
weirdly. I was able to open patent which is my first routine, but it definitely
was acting up, overall. I almost fired off a frantic note.....
Then after a while every thing seemed hunky Endora-ey. I figured you powered up the
twitch-o-matic.....

I've been watching the time and it does not correspond to the back up time in any way.
As I mentioned I'm on Uverse, not DSL, but it is ATT/SBC.

The Internet is a HUGE, world-wide network of data lines and routers. It doesn't work such that the path is direct [color=ff0000]YourComputer ---> AW.org[/color]. Any user connection passes through several networks nodes or "hops" before reaching the ultimate destination, traveling from the small dial-up, DSL, cable or other such "local" pipe, through pipes of increasing size to the target server ... and vice versa from the server to you. Any sub-net alongst the way is a potential bottleneck. I'm on DSL (AT&T aka SBC Global at this location (not home, which is Comcast resold via the local CableTV service). There are 13 hops to AutomaticWasher.org, and I'm less than 2 hrs from Houston (where the server is said to reside?). Per the route info, data packets between me and the server travel from here through a couple hops in Houston, then Euless(?), a couple unidentified locations, 5 hops tagged Dallas, another unidentified, then to ThePlanet.com (AW's host service) in Houston (assuming that is where their servers are located).
You can check your "hops" (on a Windows computer, don't ask me about Macs, LOL) by opening a command prompt window and entering
tracert automaticwasher.org
