Brent,
The site worked well for me all day yesterday for the first time in a long time. A couple of posts went in slow, but not then 40/55 seconds like they used to take. That used to happen on the old server and I just figured I probably submitted one at the same time another person on the thread did. My E-Mails are working fine, both from here and CHR. If this keeps on all day today, it would seem that you are narrowing down the major problems.
Thanks for the hard work.
Ron
