The last day and a half I was unable to access the forums. Did anyone else have this issue or was there maintenance being done? -Just curious b/c I have never had this problem before.

A few days ago I couldn't access the board for about 24 hours. Last night it was going real slow for about 15 or 20 minutes but then it got better.

^ Okay. Thank you for that. My net speed is pretty slow, and earlier it did the same thing when trying to go on yet another site, so it's probably MY issue coupled with perhaps a slower net b/c of the holidays.

When I have trouble with the site I'll switch web browsers, sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.

It's strange that so many people are having problems, while others are not. We've not had any scheduled maintenance or downtime. I've not seen any major database errors or alrerts in many weeks. The server has run pretty much flawelessly all year. It sounds like it's probably an ISP specific issue for people unable to access them.
