Forum seems to be on a go-slow for me tonight, and it was the same last night too. I checked another ISP, and checked the iPhone too, and they're both slowing slowness, so it can't just be me.

So, is anyone else having problems and if so, who forgot to feed the hamster?

A lot of forums I post on are having trouble loading this evening, I thought it was just my connection, but maybe not....

It's been slow for a few days for me, I meant to mention it to Daz on Tuesday but forgot.

Working fine for me out here, nice and fast. Maybe something going wrong with LINX?

Seems to only happen 9PM-11PM (or thereabouts). Do any maintenance scripts run at that time?

The hamster is dead. Long live the hamster.

PS - first sign of trouble was when MySQL quit at 13:27.

Noticed a few occassions when BD homepage wouldn't even load where other forums were working at the same time.

Not complaining, just thought I'd share it's happening out here in bumpkin land too :)
