Firstly let me say, it's nice to have a place for BES Admins, or in my case 'Learning to be a better Admin'. So, thanks for creating this...

Over the coming months, I'll be upgrading from Exchange 2003, to Exchange 2007, and from BES 4.0 to, well, the latest. So I know I'm going to be posting like mad

What I want to know is, from time to time the forums seem a little slow. I've tested it from Comcast (Atlanta, GA) service and even at work.

Could it be me, something I'm doing, or forum settings I need to change? Example this morning I was emailing this link (How To: Backup 3rd Party Apps) to someone, and I wanted to make sure it worked before I sent it (since I had the link saved), and it took forever to open...

I'm still using Internet Explorer 7, and am an Admin on my XP and Vista PC.

There were some database issues earlier today that plagued the site. These have been the most common issue with the site. With that said, we're about to migrate the site to dedicated hosting over the next few days (we're performing the test migration and stress testing tonight).

I had my stress tested at work today. Does that help?

I've had four straight days of that. This afternoon, we ended up going to see a course (at our work's continuing education program) by Dr. Jagdish N. Sheth just to take a break, though the class was quite interesting (and I got a copy of his new book for free).
