Problems with the forum loading should be fixed now

[Admin]

Okay, so you've had some issues on the forum over the last couple of weeks. Chrome and IE had some weird issues, and then the whole server (all forums) had loading problems from time to time including 403 errors.

This hasn't helped deep discussion as it would happen when you had written large replies etc. So it's damaged topics a little.

I've been working with the server management firm this week to get on top of this. So we've been upgrading software on the server (even had to downgrade one for compatibility reasons) and it does seem like we're on top of it now.

You may have seen some downtime earlier, but that wont happen again. That was planned downtime I just couldn't let you all know in advance quick enough.

Soooooo, if you spot anything dodgy now, please report it in this thread, and I'll aim to replicate it.
Let me know what browser you are running, and what version (if you can find that), and what it was you were doing when you suffered the issue.

But you *should* find that it runs smooth now with no crashing. You may find a little lag while the forum compiles a cache as you browse around for the next day or two. But it should get faster the more you use it.

Thanks for your patience.
