It's the Coriolis effect. The site loads anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere and clockwise in the northern.
Hehehe... if the site takes so long to load that the Coriolis force has time to make a difference, I should really be worried!
The company which houses my sister's server (which hosts apronyms.com/acronyms.co.nz but not these forums) recently discovered something which was making all the servers run slowly, and fixed it.
Let's all come up with silly ideas about what could have made the servers run slowly, and apronymise them! (I should be working now, so you'll have to wait for mine.)
If it's the forums which are slow, never fear... I'm developing some new forums especially for the Apronyms site (you'll be able to link to apronyms like <THIS> as you can in the stack.) This is not due to any inadequacy of the forums which Edwin has kindly provided, but a way of freeing up Edwin's web space so we can converse all we like without having to remove any threads to save space.
If anyone has any suggestions for things they would like in the new forums, I'd like to hear them. Already the threads will be sortable by date of first post, date of last post, or number of threads. I might allow changing the subject in the middle of the thread (as we often do, but not officially) but I haven't decided how that would display on the Message List page.
