Lately I've noticed that the forums are very slow to load at times.
I've seen occasions before where pages take minutes to load, but during the past week it seems to be happening fairly regularly. In the process of posting this thread it took about a minute for the front page to load, another minute for the "Requests, Questions and Bugs on this site" and an additional minute for this "Post New Thread".
...and that's after posting a reply in another thread just now, where it really was like treacle. The first attempt at replying timed out after about five minutes, the second attempt was about two minutes before the "Thanks for posting" intermission page, then a further three minutes before the thread reappeared.
After that I discovered that my first attempt was successful despite my web browser telling me otherwise. I've just attempted to delete the duplicate post; five minutes later I'm still waiting for that to complete, where I expect it will nag me for spilling over the edit time limit. It wasn't my fault...
