    Anyone else noticing that page loads are really slow? It says "waiting for ads.boards.ie". It's taking over 30 seconds for pages to load at the moment.

    /edit: Okay, just as I posted that, it seemed to sort itself out :pac:.

    /edit 2: Doing it again with a vengeance.

    Same problem here. I got around it by disabling javascript for the site.
    Using Firefox with noscript add on.

    Ta for the tip. Installed on FF 2.0.0.14 ,pages loading as normal but I've lost the forum type drop downs at the top of the page. Am I blocking too much? Had a mess around with settings but when I get the forum drop downs back the site hangs again.:confused:

    Did a bit of sniffing, and the delay seems to occur between loading the bit of javascript that retrieves the data for the Recent Updates window to the right of the main page and the data to fill it actually arriving. No activity, except for a few ACK's in the meantime, which can last up to 20 seconds.

    Server that hosts things like boards.tv, the wiki, podcasts etc is under high load right now and is causing that particular problem. I've removed the section until I can get the load issue resolved.

    If you notice the ads at the top of the page hanging or causing the forums to hang let me know as that pays my wages and I would like to keep it working :)

    This is getting mightily annoying. I demand that something be done!

    Honestly, we need to get in servers that are powered by the heart of a forsaken child.

    Its after taking me about 5 minutes just to get as far as posting this. Each page is taking OVER A MINUTE to load. Was like this yesterday evening for me as well. A little bit slow I can handle but what this is mental.

    What does Fogra mean anyway and why would you name your node that?

    Obviously still experiencing some slowdowns here, but nothing too major. maybe 15 second hang or so per page.

    "Fogra" is the Irish for "announcement" / "notice" and possibly "advertisement".
