				Is it just me or has this site gotten really slow?
			 
			
			It often takes several seconds to load a page. Tried with three different browsers, logged in and not.  This is a recent change, a few days, I think. |

			Very slow for me. This has happened in the past as well. Maybe high traffic for some reason? |

			"Most users ever online was today" - from the forums homepage. It's suddenly much better now. |

			I'm not having a slowdown problem now. Even with Ghostery and Adblocker Ultimate off I have no problem and I see no ads.

			Could it also have been maybe something in the connection to MR? I've seen that sort of thing happen in the past.

			The slowdowns have been off and on for me. The site is currently working, but who knows for how long.    |

			I've been noticing that for the last while. I click to send a PM, click to switch forums, etc.  and it takes more than a minute to send/change/whatever. OTOH, that happened this AM with ~4600 users/guests online.
