David,
I didn't see all of the problems encountered when the forum was on godaddy servers, probably due to me being swamped and then out of town....
However, I am getting a lot of "Server Busy" & 404 errors for the last 4 - 5 days.
How are things going with the latest move? Maybe this is just a temporary thing I am experiencing, or something I am doing to cause it. It seems to happen while spell checker is doing it's thing.........hmmm!

There have been times when I thought there was a connectivity problem with our host, when emptying my cache memory was the cure.
Our host has been having problems with a string of their servers recently and although ours wasn't listed, we did see some brief interruptions.

Maybe that has something to do with it.
I don't use the spell-check feature. Maybe that's a bold move on my part. :-)

I use IE Spell, I like it better.
I have had some stalls, clicking on the link again generally gets it right away. On weekends it is difficult for me to know. We are on WiFi at the hotel and it is terrible at best. At home on DSL I know right away.
It may pay to disable the spell checker for a while. (I am ducking at this moment.) That will tell us if it is the spell checker that is bogging us down on this version of the software.

David,
I don't think its just a spell checker problem...... I was totally booted out of the system while composing a reply a while ago.
Now I forgot what I was saying........ >.<
Old tymers setting in..... :O)

Evidently, Dreamhost is still struggling from the problems they had the other day:
We still have space at Go Daddy, but their admin. tools are almost non-existent.
We'll give Dreamhost a chance to pull it together.

Even though our server (powerade) isn't listed, there seems to be a spinoff effect, since customers on other (unaffected) servers are reporting slowness.
As I mentioned yesterday, we'll try to ride it out with them.
Naturally, if slowness and outages become a prevailing and unbreakable pattern, we'll be looking elsewhere for hosting.

This was the status report from our hosting company, a short while ago. Getting frustrating.

We just had a drop in our network for about half our servers.. if you can't access your site or email now, please hold on.. we are looking into it and will update this page as soon as we have more details.

Next they will say that we are messing them up big time. (devil)
Just kidding, they seem to acknowledge their problems and get it fixed fast. Maybe the problem is that they are growing too fast.
I did notice a major Internet slowdown a while ago. Maybe that was part of it.

Harvey,
I still have a "super lag" support request in. Even though we're back, I'm still getting a substantial lag in trying to access pages.
Here's the latest news on the outage.
it turned out to be a failure in one of our 10 gigabit network interfaces. We’ve swapped it out for a spare one and thing seem to be working now.. there may be some residual problems where some servers need to be
rebooted, however the root cause of the problem is fixed. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any downtime.
Edit: Forum at full speed, here in SoCal.
