I've noticed that the events page www.dvoa.org/events/sked/index.php is slow to come up, compared to other pages. It used to be fine and fast.

Agree it has been very slow.  At times I've just moved on and come back later when it was working. I just read that the site is being transfered to a new server and suspect that is the source of the current problems.

I'll look into it. This has happened in the past when event directors copy and past their event news directly from their Word file into the forms used for the database. Microsoft adds a lot of markup in the code that we don't want to process.

I find all of the website to typically be very slow. Reading the e-board is sometimes almost painful as it takes an eternity to load each thread and another eternity to go back to the listing.

Have had all of these "slow" problems and more, particularly with DVOA's site.

Rather than post all event info right in the  schedule page (which makes what used to be 5-lines max, take a whole page), wouldn't it be better to link to new pages with more detail?  Or have a "show more" (default) / "show less" button.
