    Been having problems at home and in work for the past couple of days. As others have said it's hanging for anywhere from 15-40 seconds on every single page load just after loading the dhtml menu while waiting for fogra.boards.ie. No issues if I go directly to a single linked post (ie when no ads, menu etc are pulled). FF2.0.0.14 and IE7 for whatever that's worth.

    Ditto. Getting some bizzare traceroute paths and pings take improbable lengths of time.

    I've been using the mobile skin with no problems. However with Cloud skin or Minimalist skin, only the DHTML menu was loading on the front page and within vbulletin pages were taking minutes to load.

    having the same problem for the last 3 days with mac os x firefox 3.0b5. stalling on "connecting to fogra.boards.ie" for at least 30 seconds.

    have setup ad block to block fogra.boards.ie and everthing seems back to normal...

    Get firefox if you don't have it.
    Install the adblock plus extension.
    Add "fogra.boards.ie" to the blocked sites.

    i doubt the admins will be too happy with all the people installing adblock seeing as they get revenue from it.. ill be disabling it for boards after the problem is fixed.

    Of course. Just a temporary solution. Luckily I have no problem so i'm not blocking anything.

    Can anyone who's still having problems post traceroutes (to fogra.boards.ie) if they know how? I'm completely stumped on this, I can't see any standing out right now.

    fogra has icmp blocked so no one will get pings/complete traceroutes, however i can't see that being the problem as the boards servers in general are perfectly reachable.
