May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Okay, I know this kind of error report is not terribly helpful, because there's no actual error to report, but here goes....

The board is loading certain pages very slowly today. Message Center loads at normal speed, but specific threads are taking forever to load, and processPost.php is taking even longer. Several times this morning, I've had processPost.php take well over two minutes to do its thing.

This is on both my MacBook Pro using Safari and my iPhone. The rest of the Internet is working fine.

Twice when I've hit Post, I've had it time out, and had iPhone Safari give me a Could Not Complete Operation: Server Stopped Responding error. When I then check the thread, my post is there, but on my browser processPost.php never completed the task.

This has all happened from about 9:00 am to 10:30 am today, board time. Although I was noticing the same performance problems last night.

I know this kind of report isn't usually helpful for ita and our developers, so I've tried to include as much information as possible.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's loading very slow here, too. Intermittently. At a guess there's a query which is hanging things up... somewhere.

Mine was doing the same as Sean, but it seems to have straightened itself out. I'm still looking sideways at the board, though, waiting for it to strike again.

ETA: And that post hung there so long I was afraid it would time out. Sigh.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've had the same problem. I thought it was my computer.

I also thought it was my computer. Firefox on Windows xp.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

same here.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Having problems posting now, it's doing the post bit but then getting hung trying to view the thread.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's been interminably slow for me all day. I assumed it was because I was searching old threads, but it's still slow now that I'm not searching.

Er, what happened? Why were we gone? How did we come back?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our host went down. And then came back up.

I was out and therefore slow off the bat, but don't forget to check buffistas.info for status information as we have it.
