No, I've noticed it, too. Both at home and at the shop. For sure the database could be cleaned up, and I'll definately have a look at that. I haven't touched the code that actually runs the forum. The shopping cart's search feature doesn't seem to have slowed at all, so I'm not really sure. The only thing I changed in a big way was to add the videos, so maybe it's a bandwidth issue. I did notice our web host's mailserver was down the other day for maintenance, so maybe they're goofing around with the webserver as well...
I dont know, okay? There, I said it.
From now on, it will always be my policy to blame the computer.
