Hi,

The forums appear to load very slow on both PC and iOS. Other websites load fine so it's not my network connection.
Can this be examined?

About 2 hours ago it choked to a halt. The past week it has had peaks and valleys.

Thanks, that helps. Intermittent problems different than constant problems.

To be honest, I have noticed it pretty slow - on and off - since the change to Xenforo.

However, it has been more pronounced this past week, was exceptionally poor yesterday (Tuesday evening MT), to the extent that I couldn't access the forums at all for the best part of half an dour, and is intermittently stuttering - and hanging - again this afternoon.

Was painfully slow 2 weeks ago, seems to have smoothed out lately .

Was out last night for me, for a bout 30-40 minutes. The Frontpage would load but the forums would not.

I've seen this problem from time to time, but usually it goes away after a few minutes.

I only noticed that displaying large sized pictures is very slow since a long a time. The download speed is mostly something between 30-40 kB/s.

For example when I upload a picture with 1MB file size, it takes just a second. But displaying it in the post takes up to half a minute.

I'm not sure whether it is just me, but I am finding that the forums are awfully slow to load - and awfully sloe to open fresh pages or threads, or posts - this morning, and that they seem to hang, and stall and crash quite a bit.

I've not noticed any performance issues.
