Is the forum slow for anyone else?

I've noticed in the last few days that the forum intermittently slows to a crawl when I click on things. Just wanted to check whether anyone else was getting this, and whether @SkullTraill had noticed anything?

Just experienced a slowdown for about 15 minutes, but I can’t tell if it’s just me because my internet has been bad all day. Anyone else? It’s back to normal for me now though.

The forum wasn't at all slow for me :). It surely must have been bad bandwidth in your area. Things can get clogged especially if on your bandwidth there are a lot of packets going through and that also need to be downloaded back (modern OS features or apps that constantly check for updates can hog on resources).

Well, I had experience now and then a bit of lag, but I assumed it was on my end and not on the forum. However, around 17:00 [GMT], I did experience a bit of slowness when I visited the forum. Currently, at 21:11 [GMT], I do not experience that slowness. Again, I was not sure if it was my internet or not, but seeing that a few other members experience, perhaps it was a bit of both? Not sure...

In the recent weeks it was sometimes slow but mostly fine. In the recent days I noticed some weird lag in the mornings and evenings EU time. Let's say... hmm checking the GMT times.... 5am GMT, then between 4pm to 7pm GMT. I checked the site every 30-40 mins and yes a few times it did take quite a long time to load something. Nothing that serious but you can tell the difference that there's lag.

Throughout the whole day of August 19th, there were many instances where it was quite slow. Thought it was my own internet but thanks to this thread, I realize it's a forum-wide issue
