Is it just me or…

Is this forum running super slow on the latest iOS? It honestly takes up to two minutes to load a page, and sometimes while sending a private message it times out completely. I’ve tried deleting and resetting my cache and cookies, to no avail. It also is only happening on this forum. Everything else I visit is working as it should.

Yeah its running slow, and it's not an iOS thing, I'm on Windows.

Ditto. It's been particularly bad these past two weeks (on & off).
For instance, this whole message (from opening to responding to adding to it) took nearly 5 minutes.

Actually it's kind of odd. It seems to take forever to go to a page or link, but once it does finally, it loads right now. Not like some sites I've seen where part of it will load, or it will load gradually.

Similar, though my loads are more like 30 seconds instead of the usual ~1 second.  Mike's input would imply a DNS issue.

Well, I’m glad it’s not just my experience! Hopefully the issue can be sorted out and fixed!

Perhaps. It reminds me of when I worked for a county government agency where even though they had plenty of capacity there was a definite lag, which I attributed (perhaps falsely, perhaps not) to an hyper aggressive anti virus they ran. Although even it wasn't nearly as long as it is here now.

It's running at normal speed for me this morning.

Back to normal for me as well! Hopefully just a hiccup!

Not me. I mostly see about a 15 second lag, but clicking reply to get here I counted to 40 before it choked and gave an error message. Second time it went thru in 15.

Same here. At present I'm on Chrome now for this post since Firefox won't even load the site at the moment.
And even Chrome is running this site at half-throttle. And I just cleared all the cache and temp files for everything with little to no change.
Something is wrong upstream somewhere, I'll try to get ahold of Charlie to see if it's something they even are aware of.

It has slowed down again this morning (5/15).

Same here. What the heck is going on?

At the risk of spoiling it, something got fixed somewhere. Things seem to be back to normal; at least my Firefox is loading lighting quick again.

[stuartinmn]

It's working for me too.

Same here. So far so good on Safari
