For future reference: the way I've noticed it, when it happens (not that often anymore), the post goes through relatively quickly -- if you clicked back to the thread mid-load & refreshed the page it'd be there -- just the success screen takes a while to come. So I've gotten into the habit of just counting to 5 or whatever it is, then clicking back mid-load and refreshing the page (after copying the post just in case). The post is usually there and it's better than waiting the whole time.

Still slow as treacle, even at the university - definitely intermittent. Has anyone had a look at the server logs?

Slow for me as well (has been for a while). Let us know if we can do anything to help, David!

At 7:12 BST this morning it took over 2 minutes for a preview to appear. The Submit didn't complete at all. I did a copy and pasted it in 10 minutes later - all went OK that time.

Yeah the whole forum just completely shit itself around 4am EST. Didn't come back for about 15 minutes.

There was a massive 1&1 network outage earlier today which affected pretty much all of their dedicated server hosting in the USA and Europe. TTLG was one of the victims from the looks of things.
Edit: 1&1 have a reputation for having cheap hosting but dreadful customer service. Although I have one of their dedicated servers I've never had a real issue since I've managed it myself and never had to rely on their support (other than to tell their sales reps that no, I don't want Exchange server). After the initial problems, the network went down again this evening. According to 1&1 "The problem affects only customers using a 1&1 dedicated, cloud or virtual server." - i.e. those customers who actually pay a reasonable amount of money for their service. Their status page ((
http://status.1and1.com/) http://status.1and1.com/) appears to have been written by the (

Wow. How long did it take you to come up with that one? And did you manage to do it all by yourself?

:laff::laff:
@F420; do you always join a forum site and then proceed to randomly insult long-time members? Or are you just an idiot?
