Thanks for the feedback guys.
Yes, there has been a huge amount of focus on this over the last 2-3 weeks, since the really acute slowness struck, and the current solution seems to be working well for most people. Of course there will be the odd time when any of us experiences a lag, for whatever reason, but by-and-large, things seem to have been better.
There are some long-time scheduled changes afoot; which it is considered will lead to a greater stability and be a better long-term fix.
We are a rapidly expanding community, across the forum, LC, Hypo and other educational programmes, so I'm guessing it can be tricky to keep up with. In some ways the forum has been a victim of it's own success in recent times.
It is very safe to say that the site owners appreciate the support we give the place and are very keen to continue to support and improve things for the members of the forum, and for diabetics in general.
