Anyone Else Have Problem w/ Slow Forum
Every once in a while, it seems like the forum gets very slow (or doesn't move at all) . If I click on something nothing happens. If I go to any other web page, it works fine and if I come back to ER, the same thing happens. It is only occasional and lasts for some minutes but there seems to be a distinct difference w/ everything else.

No issues here. Maybe too many ads.

It happens to me occasionally but not recently. When it does happen it seem to clear up in a few minutes.

Yes, happens pretty often. Seems to just lock up for a bit. Never seems to last long, but noticeable.

Rare for me too. I just assume there’s some admin function going on when it does happen, never lasts more than a few minutes that I recall.

It happens quite a bit with me, but I put it down to accessing it in the morning here, which is 6 hours ahead of CST. (I don't know where the server is located).
Interesting to hear that others experience similar issues during "office hours".

Happened to me as well - page took about 15 seconds to load. I checked if internet was down (Not), other sites loaded promptly which leads me to believe that the problem was with ER

Yep, I get the same results about once a month or so. I am using an ad blocker so I don't think it's related to advertisements. The page just fails to load. Thankfully it usually clears up in a few minutes and works fine when I come back to visit later.

This happens to me, but not frequently, almost always early in the morning when I first post. It goes away after a few minutes.
Something similar happens with other websites as well, and a couple stop loading altogether. Bloomberg News is like this. They still load normally on other devices, but not on my tablet, and if I clear cache the problem goes away.

I am sure the Administrators are on top of this and are aware of this - there are flaws in the vbulletin software that this forum is running on. Apparently hackers are exploiting this vulnerability to take control of servers:
"Attackers are mass-exploiting an anonymously disclosed vulnerability that makes it possible to take control of servers running vBulletin, one of the Internet’s most popular applications for website comments."

I happens every great long while to me too but not long enough or often enough to complain about. I'll open a new window and load another site to see if it's me or something else. 99.9% of the time it's something else.
