We had a few database issues this morning that have since been cleared up. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best thing to do if you feel that Auctiva is running slow for you and want to know why is to
file a support case. Support is keeping tabs on how the site is running minute by minute, and they contact the technical staff immediately when they discover a problem is occurring. They can give you the best and most up to date information, and they will appreciate you letting them know if you are having a problem.
