    Started last night. Someone on another bit of the forum mentioned a tech error message but can't see it myself.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I now it is only this site with the slow problem, as none of the other large sites are taking so long to react.

    My first thought when it first happened (around 10PM last night) was it was a DDOS attack. There was a huge number of spammers posting at the time.

    Extremely slow here, couldn't even get on the site an hour ago.
    No other sites affected.
