Hats off to you. 
A “Hear, hear” from just a little to th’ side o’ Down Under. So far, things have been running extraordinarily well. I hear the sound of thousands of elated Dopers.
Not sayin’ what sound that is, but it’s a good’un!
What exactly did he do, I wonder?
Cause it looks the same to me… <runs>
About this time of night most of the site starts timing out for me when everyone in the US starts logging on. So far, it’s running sherfectly.
It’s now pushing noon eastern time and things are still running smoothly. Usually by this time, I’m timing out or the pages are running to slow to even attempt it.
Thanks Jerry.
Here’s to you, Jerry. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so responsive!
It’s been really fast since yesterday at least. That’s when I started noticing anyway.
Muchos kudos, Mr. the Tech God!
Heartily concur - at this time of the evening, I’m usually getting logged out, timed out, and generally made to look at error messages a lot. But right now it’s smooth as silk. Well done, sir!
I hope by mentioning it, y’all don’t jinx it.
Im loosening the hang mans noose that`s been around my neck for the last two months.
Dare I hit the submit button…here goes.
Well done I say, and well done again.
What the heck are you guys talking about?
swEEt! I had almost given up hope that I would be able to post ever again. Great job Jerry! and Thanks!
BTW What did you do? New Hamsters? 
Gazelle, they are talking about the board running faster.
It was a delight to spend all my time on it!
Thanks Carine, but who is Jerry?
I notice how sweet it’s running, but had no idea to whom to attribute it.
This seems as good a place as any to ask . . .
What’s up with the field of yellow-and-blue vBulletin logos to the right of the Straight Dope banner? Looks a little bizarre.
GfH,
Jerry is the administrator jdavis, AKA Jerry the Tech God. He’s the keeper of the hamsters.
Hey, also today I noticed some weird icons in place of the “profile,” “e-mail,” “search,” etc. buttons. Not in all threads, though. I don’t recall which threads, but one had a post by FairyChatMom. There were horizontally stretched out faces for the WWW link, and what looked like a printer for the Search link. 
jerry, jerry he’s our man,
If he can’t do it
noone can!
Dude, it’s like you fine tuned the right dilithium crystals or something. Thank you!!

Now the War on Ignorance can be fought even faster!
Very, very, cool.
