Wow.....what a DB
Something tells me, while ScubaBoard does, admittedly, has some technical challenges to overcome right now, your issue extends far past that. I would think that you are likely battling a slow connection speed (which is always a problem in today's WWW world). Even through the worst issues, I have had pages load very slowly, not load at all, but never 9 minutes.
IIRC these issues are similiar to why we had to expand our servers last time, am I correct Pete?

It's like a highway... we just need more internal infrastructure with better on and off ramps!
Our Data server is SOOOOOOO maxed out that it is using a metric butt tonne of swap memory, which is achingly slow! Scotty is giving us all she can muster, and we are only on impulse power!
The reality is that we are our own worst enemy. We are slow only because we are so stinking popular! Growing is fun, but it can be painful!

Slow connection too, I admit. I'm bit suspecting Scubaboard pages just are having too many fancy "gimmicks" eating much more bits than convenient (StarDancerPictureShowRolling ...)
And in 9min it's not a single page.. It's Homepage/Forums/Thread/LogIn/Reply..

I have a superfast connection, but I have serious connectivity issues with SB -- often the pages won't load at all. When they do, it takes a good 30 seconds.
Will donating help?

Donating (Going Red) always helps.
Not directly but it will help us with financing the new hardware.

The new data server should be here on the 15th, the drives should arrive by 16th.
I am in Key Largo with Captain Slate helping to run an ITC this weekend. I probably will be traveling to Orlando on Thursday to install them the three servers.
