Minti speed feedback please

Comment Published at 19:5019:505 comments5 comments39 Visits39 VisitsReport

Hoping you can help me again :)

About 2-3 months ago Minti was really struggling with it's speed (ie: page load times were realllly slow).

Then in mid April (around the 15th) we moved to a new host and the speed wen SUPER QUICK... for about 5 days.

We get the feeling it started to slow again... but was still considerably faster than previously.

My question.... what do you think of the speed of Minti right now? plus any other info you want to communicate regarding this issue...?

NOTE: We do not think that the new Walt Disney banners are causing any load time issues. But if you think differently please let us know.

suggestions please

Comment Published at 19:4619:4620 comments20 comments69 Visits69 VisitsReport

 We need some of your input.

We are currently redesigning the Q&A page. People will be able to ask a question straight from the page, rather than clicking a link to another input form/page.

On the page we also want to link to a list of common questions to save people asking the same questions over and over.

We need suggestions from you!

What types of questions do you think we should highlight?

Feel free to suggest as many as you would like...

for example...

  1. toilet training
  2. teething
  3. am i pregnant
  4. miscarriage
  5. bleeding during pregnancy

Please help

Well, we had spammers yesterday, and last night (Perth time) we had a DOS attack. Sorry if you were trying to access Minti and couldn't... we are looking into what steps we can put in place to combat this in the future.
