What's happened to the forum?

Hi
I wasn't sure where to post this.

For a while now, every time I open a new window in this forum, it takes time to process.

What has happened to this forum?

Hi Martyn, I've moved the thread to the tech forum. I don't know what's going on though, the forum is fine on my end. Hopefully someone else will have better ideas.

I've had the site itself being inaccessible for like half a minute at a time on occasion, every couple of weeks or since the summer. And just now, it took a while to get here from Business & Financial!

Yup, that is a server load issue, and it's being worked on. I don't know what would cause the site to slow down all the time, though.

I thought that Steve mentioned that problem and had fixed it (?).
I hadn't noticed it for a while, until just now, when it took a long time to start -
(I wonder if I manifested it after reading your post (?!)).

However, the problem which is ongoing, is -
The site opens - I try to scroll down on the right -
It stops after a couple of seconds, and I have to wait a bit, and then it works all right.
I then scroll down and go into one of the discussion topics -
The same thing happens again - It scrolls all right for a second or so, then it won't work, and I have to wait a few seconds while it gathers itself together!
If instead, when I open a new window, I wait a bit, the scroll won’t work at all for a few seconds, then the egg timer appears, and then it works after a while.

It's slightly irritating, and happens every time I go into a new part of the discussion, or a post.

Also, no other forum does it!

When I get round to it, I'll check another computer to see if it does the same.

It's interesting if I'm the only one with this problem (??)

Sorry!
I shouldn't say it's slightly irritating.
It's actually teaching me to be more patient!

For some reason this forum does run slow . I use opera's speed dial Opera browser | Faster & safer internet | Free download I open many windows , I let this forum load as I am on other web sites.
