Seems like there's something going on with the hosting this time, I'm no expert but it doesn't appear to be a Cloudfare issue. Just wanted to make sure staff knows about this.

Yeah it seems like things are back to normal. It was weird earlier though. Seemed like 50% of the times you'd try to load a page it would work fine, and the other 50% would take forever or time out. It seemed way less predictable than the other times I've observed the site having issues.

EDIT - Nope, still acting weird. As I posted this the page timed out, but I opened a new tab and the post had still gone through.

Actually the more I dig into it the less it seems like a hosting issue. I disabled all scripts via the NoScript extension for Firefox and it seems like that fixed all the loading issues. I keep seeing some weird "metrics-collector" URL hanging when I load a page with scripts enabled.

EDIT - Spoke too soon, I'm still getting a long load time occasionally even with scripts disabled. It's much less frequent though, and haven't had anything time out yet.

Yeah, i've been seeing issues on this forum and a few of @Shaggy's other forums, as well. Hopefully tagging him will help.

Yep. Trying to figure out what's up with the server.
