This isn't really a suggestion, since I don't have an answer, but I'm looking for one instead.
For the last few weeks, the forums have been difficult for me to use. Sometimes pages load fine, and sometimes it can take 5 minutes to load a thread or even to go back to the previous page. Sometimes in the middle of going through the forums, it marks everything as read or changes the font. When I post, I occasionally get "Server busy" messages. On most of the site pages (not just the forums) I get database error messages appearing at the bottom of the page from time to time. (No, I wasn't smart enough to copy one when it happened five minutes ago, and I'm not getting one right now.)
I'm not sure if the problem is on my end. While this is going on, I can open another window and go to other web sites (including posting on other message boards) without problems. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I am surfing in another window or anything is running in the background. There isn't any consistency to when it is slow vs. when it is fast. It can alternate during a single session.
If I'm the only one with these problems, it is likely something on my end. If I'm not, I'd like to know. Either way, does anyone have any suggestions?
