Sluggish/Slow to resond?

[The Bone Collector]

This might just be me, but is the forum somewhat... sluggish today? I was surfing around here earlier, and I clicked the "active topics" and it took... 30 seconds to respond. Now, it could just be my connection, but every other website I visted today loaded almost instantly.

Is there a reason why it is slow?

Its nothing big to worry about, but I was just interested to know what was going on.

I haven't had any problems with it, and I'm constantly monitoring how long it takes for a page to load

[The Bone Collector]

Well its loading better now... but it was pretty sluggish earlier.

Soldatforums loads faster then google for me...

You're slipping flab.

The only reason it is that slow is because I'm using a specific DNS server that isn't very close to the soldatforums server.  If I was ever really concerned about it, I would change the DNS configuration quite a bit

And this isn't my internet playing up. I had trouble even connecting to the site last night...

Adding that missing letter t might help.

I dunno about loading times, but I keep getting this for some reason, and it's starting to piss me off.

It happened to me before, usually somewhere around 23:00 GMT

Do you use any "speed up your browser"-like add-ons or anything?  Do you browse the forums with multiple tabs at once? (moreso if you reply to multiple posts at once)

[Laser Guy]

Browser speed up - no, Multiple tabs - yes, multi reply - no

[STM1993]

Hmm, I do open multiple windows (not tabs), and occasionally multi-reply, though I slowly take my time to type one reply, then re-read what I wrote, edit again until I am satisfied, repeat. Then I take my time to type the other reply and the cycle repeats. But I didn't get that error. I only got that long time ago if I tried to post in the Testing forum section. Not sure about now. I don't use stuff that speed up my internet or whatever.

And I use Mozilla Firefox.
