Anyone else experiencing unresponsive and weirdly slow connection to the forums?

Well it's all in the subject!
The first couple of times, I suspected an internet connection issue, but the problem is persistant, and browsing the forums has become really sluggish. Just wondering if it's just on my side ;)

Yes. And, I suspect it's the motion graphics in the header ad that's causing the reset/delays.

Hi Edmond (hope you're well),
Yes, me too. Maybe the Taxi servers are coughing a little.

Yep, same here. I first noticed it a few days ago, and - like you - thought it was a connection on my end. But every other website is running as quick as normal.... it's just the forums that are slow. Old age catches up to us all, lol.

Today, Oct 31st, it opened 'on time' - and whatever glitch was in the system appears to have been repaired... pretty much, almost?!
YAY-
Hooray for the Dodgers - 2024 World Series CHAMPS!!

:D
and - it seems the fault was NOT connected to the moving ad graphics.
G'Day, Mates - good onya!

We've had a persistent problem with Russian bots hitting us with attempted DDOS attacks. They're not getting in, but when they happen, it slows things down.
