• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Site slow or unreachable at times

Sorry to bear bad news, but the site has been quite laggy for me today. Clicking the "Mark forums read" button took about 10 seconds to bring up the confirming dialog box and then 10+ seconds to return after clicking that button. Earlier, clicking the "Alerts" button took quite a few seconds to produce that list.

It's been really good for me today. Calgary, Shaw Cable, IE11.
 
For clarity, does it seem slow when going from page to page, or only when trying to take an action on a single page, like reply, or like, etc?

It is random what is fast and slow. Just now, it took 20+ seconds for the main page to appear. But then getting a list of new posts and opening the interesting ones in tabs was very quick.

I'm curious now how long it will take to post this message...

I just experienced a significant refresh pause. I thought it was going to come back with an error but didn't.
 
Using Safari, Cloudfare eventually served a copy of the site from the Internet Archive. Eventually, I got logged on using Firefox. When opening interesting threads in tabs, this thread failed to load. After I read the other threads, this tab then loaded (slowly) upon a refresh.

Got this around 4 PM Calgary time.
