For a while there have been reports of TDIClub being slow to respond. While there might be a few times for maintenance reasons this could happen, it should be infrequent. Also I have been unable to replicate these issues as the forums are pretty much always snappy no matter why kind of computer and connection I have and the number of people experiencing this issues seems to be low. Due to this I believe the problem is external, but I need a little more information to help track down the problem and find the root cause.
To help isolate the issues if you could answer the poll question and answer the following questions for each internet provider/location you access the forums it would be a great assistance. Please post the results below or send me a PM (VW Derf). When I have enough answers I will note at the bottom of this thread and close the topic.
