in the last 7-10 days I haven't been on much but I've noticed very slow page loads and only from this site. On my iPad, laptop. At home or away - therefore, I am guessing something changed.
Partly being funny.
Things did seem slow but there are plenty of things to blame it on. I have recently measured load speed on the forum compared to MSN.COM and IT.COM. Usually the forum loads fastest but recently it loads slower. I blamed it on "the God of Computers". Then magically the forum is faster again.
What kind of account setting bug does that? The "load pages for this user more slowly because they are annoying" flag was accidentally set? Or "potential bot so deprioritize requests" flag?
