Hi all, first post.
I'm a bit of a tweener on this stuff... very knowledgable about computer, quick to pick things up... but first timer with Joomla and Rocket Theme...
I have my beta site open for any help any of you can be...
www.prodnation.com
I have the iMag plugin, and the CB installed and working... the speed was this slow and unreliable before their install... host is aplus.net
Any help at all would be brilliant!
Thanks

Site seemed to load just fine for me....
As far as the site goes: Your "wrapper" links to texas terry and drake donavan could look a bit better if you unpublished the modules that are published, so that when you click the wrapper link you get full width.
You can do this in the admin/back end by going to site- modules- and choose which modules you want to display for what menu items. (hold ctrl and click). Your modules are probably set to "all"...
Overall it looks like a nice start. - Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thanks for the sugestion on design... i'm still in the middle of the customize phase, and the artiles are only place holders right now.
Glad it loads well for you! It's bugging the heck out of me how amazingly slow my site is right now. especialy when you click around, often times it errors totaly. I don't think it's my internet since I test, and have been working on the content at home and at work (work has a shared T1). But honestly it could be that both hit the host pourly.
I'm absolutly positive it's not the theme, doubt it's the plugins.... could it be the host? bad Joomla install?
Any ideas from clicking round why, or what might be the problem?

It looked great and pages snapped up quicker than most of my sites do.
If you click on menu- stories from the front, at the bottom of the page you'll see a link above the next button. That's a link to the next story, but when you click next, that story won't be there. It gets lost in that little link thingy, don't know why it's there - it always bugs me.
To fix it: On the backend goto menu, mainmenu, click on home and look on the right you'll see a box for #Links, change that to zero. (might have to do the stories menu item too, typing from memory)
Overall the site looks great. Just have some layout and format stuff to clean up a bit. If you have any questions feel free to post here and someone will gladly help. The interface is great but sometimes not as intuitive as it could be. Lot of people here know the little tricks. (And some major tricks)

Loads just fine for me.
Do a traceroute from your machines to your server. If everything looks good, then you might have a browser issue. If things don't look good, then you have a connectivity problem. Is your host geographically remote? If so, then your local ISP(s) might have a peering issue somewhere that is causing the issue.
Which browser are you using? I've found that, in FireFox, sometimes, especially if running many extensions, and left running for a long time, memory leaks can eat away at performance.
Kill your browser's process, restart it, clear your cache, and try again.
If you are still having problems, and it does not seem to be your browser or your upstream provider, then I suggest finding a good witch doctor. . .
