    Whats the story with boards tonight?

    I keep getting timeouts and no page displayed.

    I've seen a few people with similar issues, especially on the mobile site.

    Also, theres a few double post from people, myself included

    Same here,
    I thought it could be caused by the major issues of the evening, the IMF "bailout" or the Wikileaks.org releases (that site has keeled over as well) or the weather but then I realised the biggest news of the evening was potentially causing the problem.
    Wagner got booted out of the X- Factor. Disaster..........

    The number of people using the Weather Forum is comparable to AH when Brian Cowan was making announcements last week.

    If there's one thing Irish people love nattering about it's the weather.

    Perhaps the IMF's made a provision for new servers in the bailout figure.
