    Last few mins have had major issues, connection timed out and threads take an age to load. Facebook et al are fine, though.

    It was really slow about 3 minutes ago, then it just wouldn't work, but now it seems it's back to 'normal'.

    Re: The site being slow?
    Thanks for the comments guys. I think we have a discovered an issue which caused the some of the ones you saw on the 17th, but perhaps not all of the others.

    Please do keep reporting any unusual slowness and please do get screenshots if anything strange happens or do please give details of what goes wrong (i.e. if pages take 2 minutes to load, please let us know that or if pages mainly load, but some parts take 30 seconds longer to appear, let us know that). It will all help identify any other issues

    It took about 35 second for that page to load for me.

    Someone who's posted in there could have had an issue with their signature causing it though, so I've edited their signature. Does the page load any faster now? If not, then the signature might not have been to blame for the full problems you were experiencing.

    It went slow for about 2 mins in that a page wouldn't load (but it didn't time out), but apart from that no.
