    Every page?!!?

    This is happening me at the minute with <5% of the pages I load, it's not bothering me as it generally loads when I refresh. Try clearing you cache and see if that helps.

    Getting served up blank pages here sometimes too... for some reason I find it's usually when I'm viewing a thread with multiple pages.
    Refresh does nothing but load the same empty page... the only thing that works for me is deleting the www. from the url and trying again.

    I have found it to be quite slow to load a lot of the time but I have never just got a blank page!

    Been happening to me too - particularly Mon to Wed this week.
    Yesterday it seems to have untwisted its knickers & has been OK since.
    Hitting refresh 3 or 4 times sorts it out, as does navigating to another forum.

    Ya this was brought up before but nobody knew why it was happening.

    For me, it only happens when visiting the main page.

    It hasn't happened to me in a while but it only affects the main page for me.

    Getting the same here. Happening about 5% of the time and always on multi-page threads when trying to go click on the next page or previous page.
    Refreshing doesn't seem to work. It did seem to occur more often about a week or two ago then stopped happening and is now happening again. Odd :( .

    Is anyone who is getting this, not using Firefox?

    I just got the exact same thing on a non-forum site.

    Seems to be happening more frequently this afternoon. Refresh is still doing the trick though.

    Pages have been very slow (5+mins) to load sometimes today. Sometimes they load without formatting (can read the posts but no colours etc), Sometimes they load all to one side. Twice there was an unable to find the page

    Maybe if the people who ran boards realised that the amount of crap on these forums is bringing it down from the inside! Honestly, browse around and click on a few of these obscure forums, no one uses them!!! Time to stream line boards, get rid of all this random crap, maybe then boards will run for more than 24hrs.

    Of course that's assuming that having so many forums actually makes a difference...

    I wonder if its due to node 5 not being in the pool

    Did one of the other nodes have a data leak in the pool?

    Hate when that happens :/

    What sort of set-up does boards sit on? Please forgive my curious nature :)
