Glad everyone has this issue,, I always blame it on xplorenet. 

The only thing we can say for certain is that it is not being slowed down by masses of people downloading the November early release:)
 
Busting to get my hands on that!

It's just taken me an hour to log on!

I was going to answer this sooner, but the site is extremely slow 
 
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but Harmony Central has been deluged with a tsunami of spam the past few days. The Cakewalk forums seem to have fairly robust spam protection, so that might be slowing things down...just a theory. 

One of the nice things about usenet newsgroups was that once a spam article had been identified a message kill instruction could be sent out (often automatically) that meant not only was it removed from the groups where it had already appeared but news servers would drop it in the rubbish bin on sight so it wouldn't bother any other group it was cross-posted to.

A pity there isn't a similar mechanism for forums, but I guess that's what happens when everyone goes their own way rather than there being a single standard for a common format used by all.

That comment took nearly two minutes to get posted and show up after I pressed "submit" by the way. Usually the forum software responds almost instantly.

Which it just did.
