Apparently something is going on at the server farm where our server is based. All services are going out (not just our server). Hopefully they are just doing some minor system updates and this is not symptimatic of anything worse.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi jim,
I don't know if it is related but I am getting quite a bit of lag. when i type the letters show up a couple of seconds later and also the scroll bar does not move smoothly any ideas as to what might be causing it? it seems to just be on Armorama.

Honestly that sounds like something on the local (your pc) end. If you are typing letters and seeing a delay that means the buffer on your computer is having issues. Until you hit SUBMIT the web server is not affecting your user experience at all (assuming all the page elements have loaded properly).

Cheers,

Jim,

There are large chunks of the Internet experiencing problems today as there was last weeks too because of solar flare activity causing problems with communications satelites.

I wonder if that's why I couldn't log on to my ISP for over 2 hours last Thursday?
