About 3-4 days ago I noticed that browsing the forums here was much slower than normal, normally going to the DVD Bargains area brings up the posts in about 5 seconds. Now it is taking more like 30 seconds just to start to bring them up. I'm in Australia and have noticed this from home and work.

I notice this in California as well.

Often I'll get the top part of the page through the DVD covers and featured articles but wait quite a while for the threads to show up.

A tracert shows no delays on the way to the servers so it appears it is a forum server issue.
