July 9Jul 9 Is AVSIM really slow and seemingly bogged down lately. I know it's not my computer, because everything else is quick and responsive. Just want to know.

But there are advertisements on the screen.PC desktop, Firefox browser, If I DO NOT hold down the shift key and click to start Firefox it opens in "Normal Mode" and Avsim runs slow. But there are NO advertisements at all on Avsim.Avsim used to not have advertisements. And ran faster. I'm sure Edge, Chrome, etc. have a safe mode or a troubleshoot mode too. But the key to launch in their safe mode might be a different key then the shift key. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 10Jul 10 It has been intermittently slow and sometimes unusable for me over the past few weeks. Lots of gateway timeouts where the page won't load at all. Getting "server not available" errors even while responding to this. The backend for this site definitely needs improvement.

July 10Jul 10 I've been getting "server not available" timeouts for the past couple of days. I thought it was a problem with my ISP ... apparently not, by the look of things. Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB)
