    The site's been slow for me for the past hour or so, and I've just had a number of times when nothing's loaded at all (using Chrome, it reports that "Oops! This link appears to be broken.").

    I blame the exponential rise in the number of mods for slowing the server down. :yep:

    Very slow in the last hour, hour and a half. Several times it just loads the header and that's it.

    Another thing, not sure if it's related to this or not, but people who quoted me hasn't updated in the last hour, several have quoted me but I've not been notified.

    I haven't been able to access TSR using Firefox (most recent version) since 2pm.

    It is now intermittently failing to load on IE.

    Can you link to a post where you've been quoted but you're not seeing it in Who Quoted Me? It could be that the quote has been edited in after the post was originally submitted, in which case it wouldn't show up there.
