I've just swapped out part of the server infrastructure behind Wetpixel. The new software is much, much faster, and everyone should see a tremendous speed increase all over the site. I'm told that the speed increase is particularly dramatic for those of you hitting this site from outside of the United States.
Please let me know here on this thread whether you see anything strange, and let me know whether it impacts your use of the site.
Those of you who are part of Team Wetpixel shouldn't see any change in the forums, since you're browsing ad-free.

I can, with appreciation, report a significant increase in speed/loading time from Norway as well
