Sarah, with IE, are you using IE6 or IE7? What are your cache settings?
Here’s what I recommend (click the thumbnail).

Mine has been fine today, but last night it took a good 20 seconds to load from a link Philip sent me to his post. I’m on a laptop so a few seconds to load isnt unusual, but it was slow enough I even mentioned it was taking forever to load (which IS unusual for BBB).

I will say I noticed net speeds all over being a bit slow today, and a quick look at Internet Traffic Report seems to show there are slowdowns (just a little) all over the place. Looks like various areas have some monitored routers down which may explain it.

Thanks for that as it was not set as your thumbnail, it has made quite a difference! Oh I was using IE7

Cheers everyone and fingers crossed for me 🙂

When I came back after an extending time away, I went to reset my password and after I clicked “Request Username / Password”, it timed out after about 30 seconds. That’s been my only problem, but I wouldn’t say the page loads are slow.

What did you have your cache size set as? Unless it was very very small, it shouldn’t make a huge difference.
