    Has anyone experienced the slowness problem yesterday or today? Or does it seem to have stopped?

    Just now I couldn't access the site for about two or three minutes :erm:. Other websites worked so I'm fairly sure it's not [entirely] down to my Internet connection.

    I wasn't at my computer half an hour ago, so didn't experience this myself. Did anyone else notice a similar thing?

    I've not noticed anything since half an hour ago, and I had a quick look in the box afterwards ('cos there's usually some mention of "box fail" or something like that if it happens for everyone :p:) and there was nothing, so it could've just been me :dontknow:. But I could load Facebook, Gmail and Amazon at the same time as trying to load TSR, and they were fine.

    I had an issue at roughly the same time, and all other sites were fine. 'Connection timed out'

    It's been slow but I just assumed it was because of the giant sigs you guys have.

    16:31 - Proxy Error 502

    Just browsing forums.
    I either get that - or it hangs with a light blue screen for about 10 seconds. This is almost everytime I am using it.

    EDIT:

    Ok - now its hilarious - it went Proxy Error, then I refreshed and got light blue screen followed by nothing bar text for 20 seconds and no colours, before it finally loaded.

    Yeah, it's been slow for me the last couple of hours. Also, things like icons and the shoutbox font keep going weird.
