500/503 errors, site inaccessible due to slow loading

[Boxy]

Same. Long lag times, time out messages, etc. Other websites fine.

Dittos here. I thought that this website was getting upgraded sometime. Seems like this situation occurs more frequently lately.

Edit - it took about 45 seconds to post this hairball.

Site is running incredibly slow.

The site seems brutally slow today/tonight. I'm using Firefox, fwiw.

Same here for Friday evening 2/23 and Sat AM 2/24

Also on Firefox

Same here, using Chrome and W11, both with all current updates.

Most of the week I've had the same results. Duck duck, Chrome, windows. Android phone.

Loading slow on my Chromebook this morning.

What's notable to me is that the site will be running fine for a few minutes, then it just hangs...
I could be reading threads fine, then I click on the next one and it takes 2 minutes to load the page.
Occasionally I'll hit "submit", the button will go gray for a minute or more, then the activity indicator on the tab (FF) will eventually start jiggling but it might still take another minute or more for the site to post.

Then after a few minutes of sloth, things come back to normal again.

The site was down all day long (Saturday) for me.

I've been unable to get PF to load for about two days, so I'm very happy to be back right now!

I'm certain I'm not alone in this, but I either got the 503 or simply "inability" or "site not available" Saturday and Sunday.
I tried both a laptop and my phone.

While I don't post a lot (try to stay in my lane and learn), is their a site, such as Facebook or Instagram that may indicate a site down issue instead of me just assuming I'm a technotard?

I was suffering reliable information withdrawal!

Glad we are back. I was getting separation anxiety 😀
