Why are we in slowmo??

[#1]

Anyone else finding things excrutiatingly slow on here tonight?
Things seem to be getting slower and slowerrrrrrrr.

[#2]

Does anyone know if there is an issue tonight with the community site. Seems very slow, but the internet in general feels OK. Its slow to read and to post anything.

[#3]

Absolutely

[#4]

There are two other threads about it so yes it is running slow

[#5]

I have reported it to  Help Desk, they wernt aware

[#6]

Thanks Pierre

Hi all,
Yeah there's definitely something funny going on. I'll get a callout done and post up here when we know what's going on (also expect a service status shortly :))

[#8]

Thanks Matt

[#9]

Thanks Strat.  Looked for other threads, but was obviously looking in the wrong place
Could you post linkys

[#10]

Try this one.

Could a mod look at merging these two?

[#11]

Have a look here.
Matt is on the case
Under the current circumstances I'm not apologising for missing my place

[#12]

Not on your life while we are having these problems - it may (probably will) go tits up

[#13]

Both Community and PUG servers are excruciatingly slow this evening - and it's not the first time.
I've spent and hour or so using other sites with no problem and then I come here and it is about a 10th the speed or less..
And it's not just tonight, it happens quite a lot.
One would think that accessing your own ISP would be very, very fast - but sadly not
Looks like some major work needed to improve the situation ?

[#14]

Right... well there's something funny going on at one of the data centres, it looks like a power outage but that hasn't been confirmed - networks engineers are investigating as we speak. I'll update further when I know any more.

Appreciated Matt
