I went back 90 days looking for a similar thread...couldn't find one ...so reluctantly started this one
Over the past week or so i've seem other people comment about the amount of clocking time it takes to bring up a screen. I'm in the same boat...but here and SKY-Side...CNN comes up fine as do lots of other sites.
I timed a few today.
Quickest was about 10 seconds...longest over 30 seconds
To do a "search" ...looking for clocking threads took almost a minute
So post here
who else is having clocking issues?
Are the IT guys behind the scenes working on it ...or not?

I had some trouble a few weeks ago with this site being slow. The Solstice forum is loading fine for me right now, but the Sky forum is being really slow both here at work and at home.
I had trouble with the Sky forum last weekend as well. I finally just gave up on it.

It’s certainly common in Canada, but is very probably British in origin. The usual meaning, by the way, is more that something is satisfactory, all in order, or OK.
We can’t be sure what its origin is. Eric Partridge always contended that the word was forces’ slang, most probably from the Royal Air Force, and that it dates from the early 1920s or thereabouts (though the Oxford English Dictionary doesn’t find a written example before 1939). Considering the number of Canadians who flew with the RAF during World War II, its move to Canada isn’t surprising.
The difficult bit is taking the word back any further than the 1920s. It could combine that’s the ticket — with much the same sense — with the childish phrase peek-a-boo. But some find a link with the British Army in India, suggesting it comes from the Hindi phrase tikai babu, which is translated as “it’s all right, sir”.
Kind of like our slang ... "hunky dory"
