Same here. Walnut 1 seems to be slightly slow, but not infinite load times as earlier.

I get that to with a twist and then some

 

can log just fine with FF or IE at main page (https://www.wincustomize.com/) where I have most problems is when downloading or loading a page one moment it work just fine the next it just sits and tries to load or download something  and it helps if I login with both FF and IE some times..

and like a lot of us it ONLY does it here on WC oh and it's an EVERY DAY thing or every time.. I starting to think WC is never going to fix their site.

 

as for logging on this way  http://disturbedcomputer.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx  it just started to day with FF It will not log me in it takes me to

http://dnssearch.rr.com/?q=login.axd&con=nxd  and the kicker is I am already logged on from wincustomize.com but if I go to my site http://disturbedcomputer.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx  It don't keep me logged in and if I log out from WC.com and try to log in on DC.WC.com

it too takes me to Road Runner...

 

oh and disabled all add-ons st will not work cleaned History in both FF IE

 

not too be mean WC but it's time you finish/fix the new site

With IE8 or FF page loading is excruitiatingly slow. My broadband shows dormant and network usage shows 0 but it is only with this site. It sure takes the joy out of the site.

I'm using IE 8 and not experiencing any problems, so is it the site or something else? 

Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm located in the U.S. in the state of New Mexico using Qwest DSL

I live in the eastern US (EDT) and find the site fairly slow until around 8:00 AM, almost every day since the change over.

I live in the southeastern US...have IE 8, and have problems loading the site ALL the time, regardless of the time of day, or which page I am trying to access....this has been since the changeover to the new site.  I have NO issues with any other site I access...it just occurs here.  I have broadband internet access (20 mbps), so I know that is not an issue.  I wish this could get fixed...the way it is now....I dread coming here, wondering how long it will take to load, if it loads at all.

Just took a minute and a half to load the main page with IE8 running without addons. This is getting ridiculous. Another  minute to load the forums. What the heck is going on?

To change your images on your site, go to joeuser.com to upload them. I think that function is still broken on WC.

Sounds like i am not on my own with regard to load problems on this site. Maybe thats why people like myself will not pay for wincustomize subscriptions.

Looks like it snake108. 

Site access is still working fine for me.

I wonder it it has anything to do with possibly how folks have thier computers set up.  I try and keep mine plain and simple with the bare minimum of additional programs for security and no 'help or optimizing' programs.

Thus the age old problem with wincustomize...

There has been times (this has been on again off again for YEARS) where the site is extremely slow.

I vaguely remember the powers that be trying to solve this problem before.  Like getting new servers and such.

Obviously, this problem needs attention again.

Just doesn't make sense for you folks to be having problems and I'm not. 

I wonder if there are more folks not having site access problems that are not responding?

I have Road Runner - 20mbps - no problems anywhere but here.  Generally, my connection is really fast.  Early morning seens to be exceptionally slow.  Maybe everyone is logging on before they go to work?  OR maybe they are running batch jobs or something?  I live in the Southeast not far from JazzyMJR and RR is absolutely great.  I will check tomorrow using Chrome and see it that makes a difference but I rather doubt it.

I am in the UK, and i cant log on in the mornings. Do not run any optimizing progs, etc. Like i said before i would gladly pay a wincustomize sub if i could use the site more often.

One comment form the powers that be I found disturbing is all the sites having a common database, which is whay all the Stardock sites get slow together. Now, if someone is paying a WinCustomize subscription, isn't that money being pumped into all the other sites too? Hmmm...

Hello and welcome manwithhammer, are you related to 'Tim the Toolman'?  If you are don't get around hitting things. 

I use IE 8 and sometimes experience some slow times but nothing that I would say is constant or not normal for using the internet.
