man, this forum is way slow today.... Takes forever to load a page here or refresh the thread list. Everything else works fine in my browser so it isn't my INET connection.

Same here.  Since the changes, the forum speeds have been intolerable.  I'm checking in less frequently now, for sure.  Hope it gets resolved soon.

I didn't notice the changes because I have been using the mobile version. Checked the forum last night at home and found the forum was different. Went to bed and tried to check the forum on my phone and everything was slow, and I was on wi-fi.

So yes I have noticed this on the mobile version and on the regular version. Been going on for a few days for me on the mobile version.

Its been awful. But sporadically not all the time. None the less its troublesome. 

It is working good now...

Yes it appears to be but as I said it may go back to being slow as a 90 year old driving in the fast lane with their turn signal on.
