Just throwing another idea out there, cause this happened to me once.
Did you in any way change the available searches: adding a new one, changing how one works?
We added a search once that hosed the system when any user accessed it. He'd get to the top of the database's work queue, and just monopolize the DB's time, creating multi-locks in his wake until the badly written query was complete... We finally rewrote it, after creating an index to make it faster.
Just for kicks:
NOTE: It took 4 minutes for this "editpost" to actually "Save Changes", cause when it finally came up, the time of the post was four minutes earlier than the system time at the bottom of the page.

I'm experiencing slowdowns on and off today. I'm not sure if this is part of the troubleshooting that Geoff indicated.

Not sure if this is a related issue, but starting yesterday evening, the forum, and sometimes my computer, will hang hang up for quite some time when I submit replies to certain threads, (likely the randomness of the problem).

Forum VERY normal currently
Just to let everyone know that it's all fine. Speed seems good. Hangups are minor. Everything seems to be running well. No complaints. Hope to see this continue for quite a time in the future. It's all good.
Not even thinking of travelling back in time to eliminate Josh Hinkle from existance, just so any like minded threads never see the light of day. Not thinking it at all.
Thank you.
