After I click on 'post' it takes about 2 minutes for the process to complete. The search function is also banjaxed and I've also had this to deal with...

Pretty much missing everything there and the only thing that works is the log out link.:(

Do you really know what's going on in the Boards office?

I use the old (nice!) v bulletin boards and while there are issues (and downtime like just down) maybe they are fewer than some are suffering.

Here's a current screen cap of the After Hours homepage. Note the 15 minute 'no posts made' gap between 23:10 and 23:26:
