Perhaps it's just me but the forum is grindingly slow - taking c. 30 seconds to load a page.

    I agree, was just about to reboot my laptop but I guess the forum is the issue.

    Ridiculously slow - lots of 502 errors
    At one point I got what I'm guessing is a new format of the forum screen (I was looking at Competitions) so maybe they're rolling out/testing a new version?

    We had a spate of these issues at one point, let's hope it's just a one off this time round.

    Edit:
    I've just had this when trying to post this message, I don't think I've had this message before:

    Several Cloudfare/Vanilla errors as well as slow. This feels horribly familiar

    Very slow, Cloudflare and Vanilla errors, threads going back to unread that were previously read etc. 

    I have also noticed that I am seeing posts that show as from "Unknown User" and the content shows as "This post has been deleted", sometimes they sit there for a little while, other times they are there for hours.
