That was me. The insanely slow loading wasn't just a FTM issue, it was affecting all my sites. I had my Web hosting guys do a major upgrade to my database servers and everything sped up tremendously.

A big part of the problem was a different site I run that lives on the same server as FTM, and started getting crazy traffic--more than 9,000 unique visitors/day. It caused everything to grind to a shuddering stop until I upgraded.

A side benefit of the upgrade is FTM now has way more resources than it used to, so (knock wood) that should never happen again. smile

Many thanks for taking care of that; it was like an early, wonderful Xmas present.

This is a lingering issue not related to the upgrade but when there are nested quotes a dark line appears across the last line of text in the last quote as seen in this screenshot

Here's the same post as I see it.

(Why is your sidebar wider than mine?)

More: I've never seen that line.

You have the same grey line, just displaced one notch further down the page. In either case, it shouldn't be there and to the best of my knowledge FTM is the only place I have ever seen it.

🤷‍♂️ Safari 13.1.2 vs Safari 14.0? 🤷‍♂️
🤷‍♂️ MacOS 10.15 vs. MacOS 11.0 🤷‍♂️
🤷‍♂️ Different System font 🤷‍♂️

I have seen it off and on for a good while. 😢

In your screenshot I see a "printer smudge" overlaying a line of text, but what you're saying is the same thing in my screenshot is actually a scroll-bar.

A screenshot of how my screenshot looks on your end may be helpful.

(My sidebar question arose because FTM's appearance on my screen has changed dramatically since the upgrade, the sidebar being only one aspect of it.)

Just as with the pre-upgrade, I had to log in again after several weeks of staying logged in. Apparently, this bug has not been quashed.

I don't remember when it began, but we've got to log in every 30 days under any circumstances.

Are you being prompted more often than that?

The FTM login is contained in two cookies that have a lifespan of 30 days. One is your ID the other your hashed password. Unless you login (actually enter your ID & PW) again within that span of time the cookies are automatically deleted.

It seems to me that I had the same problem after either a MFIF or FTM update years ago, and clearing the DNS cache turned the trick that time.

Working backwards from my safe boot, during which my problem didn't manifest itself, my only startup item that affects Safari is SessionRestore, and I've tried every which way to work around it if it's indeed the culprit, but with no joy.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
