| | | Since the board was re-hosted, how is the performance?
It's hard for me to gauge performance with the latency of being 8000 miles away from the server where the Puritanboard is hosted. It seems pretty snappy but I wanted some feedback.
Last week I switched hosting companies to Liquid Web
The CPU on the new server is a Quad vice Dual processor, the RAM is the same 4GB but the hard drive is a RAID 1 vice a RAID 10 so the disk performance could be eating into performance.
Can you let me know what your gut experience has been over the past few days?

Is that pronounced "gwaage"?
I haven't really noticed any difference, but I do live in Australia. The cables that bring me my internet are a lot longer than most.

No change for me, but I run Safari on a Mac PowerBook G4 with OS 10.3.9. Smooth as silk!

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon

Rich, that was me with the lasagna vote!  Seriously, it's much better than the past few weeks. The PB has always loaded fast but for some reason the past few weeks were horrid. It's much better now and seems to be back to normal.
Thanks for you labor of love.

Well if you are going to offer food. 
Really I don't notice much difference, but I have the option set to not load images.

Absolutely an improvement. Probably some of it also had to do with the change in signatures, but it's been working very well lately. It was quite rough a couple of weeks ago.

Cheese enchiladas, tacos, rice, beans, guacamole and chips, LOTS of HOT salsa . . . hmmmmmmmmm.
Actually, if you could just get the good folks at Logos to get their Mac edition done, I could change over to a real computer (i.e., one withOUT Vista! - yech!) without losing my investment in Libronix.

1. The performance of the website is really going to be a browser agnostic thing if the server is slow. There are some tweaks to the website that some browsers handle better than others obviously.
2. One of the reasons the Safari Browser is faster is that it contains no code to clean up bad script code that people write. There is a "benefit" to the bulk of an IE or a Firefox which is why some will use Firefox as their favorite sites don't always work in Safari.
3. Folks might be shocked but, if I had the money right now, I'd probably buy a MacBook Pro. In a recent performance test, it was the fast machine for running Vista. You don't actually have to buy a Mac version of Libronix but simply use Boot Camp to boot into XP or Vista when you need it. I'm probably going to buy a Mac for my next notebook and dual boot it.

Seems pretty much the same to me. But, I shouldn't talk with my mouth full of lasagna.

I was having problems recently embedding links but can't remember whether it was before or after the re-hosting.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
