i'm glad someone mentioned it... i wasn't sure if it was my crappy computer acting up more than normal.
Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral.

Yup database is to blame - plus the entire site has been undergoing changes so some stuff might have got messed up with it from that.

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.
