Forum very slow -- are there problems?
 

Hello,

I've been noticing the forum loads pages very slowly. It hiccups badly on the images. Today was very bad. It seems to be getting worse. Other sites load normally.

Has anyoone else noticed this?

Are there known problems?

Thanks for any insights.

Yes I have noticed it, I thought it was my Internet being slow for awhile, but other sites seem to load normally for me..

I don't know any specifics about it, probably just a temporary thing..

yes emoticons page wouldn't load all of the way and I got locked out just copying and pasting a word. If that makes sense. thankfullly later I was able to log in just fine.

I've noticed the slowness for a few days now. Today has seemed worse than before. I guess we'll see.

Bizi,

can you paste the error message here, or send it to DocJohn? Might help shed some light on the problem area.

We had to deal with two denial of service attacks yesterday against our community server. The authorities have been contacted. All services are running normally except for those two brief periods yesterday.

My pages are loading very slowly still......

still very very slow loading for me too

Me three, when I am lucky enough to get the page. I had to retry bunches of times to get this post window, but at least I got it.

Apparently some DoS attack is still ongoing... and successful on me anyway. :(

Thanks DocJohn for replying. I sure hope the authorities and techs can get this under control.
