CF server issues?
So for about the past month or so, every 5th click or so doesn't get a response back from Corvette Forums.
If I wait for a minute or so the browser will tell me it didn't get a response. If I click again right away when I notice it's not responding, it works.
This may or not be related, but about two weeks ago I was posting on these forums and managed to get some nasty spyware. It blew right through Avast and Adaware. Wiped out all my desktop icons and Program File icons. It took me a day and a half to track down, research, and fix.
Is it possible this intermittent issue has something to do with a borked server in the lineup in the datacenter where CF is hosted? I don't get this behavior with any other sites.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

No spyware... just the first problem you described.

Almost every click has a significant delay before the screen loads. Only this site. 
Edit: For example, when I clicked on "submit reply" for the above post, the screen didn't reload even after waiting 90 seconds. I then clicked on the "submit reply" icon again and immediately got a screen saying I was trying to submit a duplicate to my last post. Again, only this site.

I can increase the % of time this behavior happens if I don't hit CorvetteForums for several minutes before clicking again. I'll wait 5 minutes after this post, come back, and I'm fairly certain if I try to refresh this post it won't give me a response.

As expected, it timed out on my refresh.
I've been logging all of my activity this morning in Fiddler. The red lines are the timeouts and as I mentioned, I can cause a repro case fairly easily by waiting 5+ minutes between consecutive http requests.
I'm willing to assist in any way I can. I don't think this is a client-side issue. I switched from FireFox to Chrome after the attack, and have several computers in my LAN I can hit CorvetteForums from (even outside my LAN with LogMeIn or RDP) and from different browsers, all with the same timeouts.

same problem....
I thought this was the HELP section!
I have been having the same connection problem as the original poster (without the spyware attack) for about two weeks also. This is the only website affected. Any suggestions?
By the way, this is my third try at posting this!

I have to wait for a thread to open when I click on it........but if I double click it opens right up??? Seems to tie in with the other glitches mentioned in this thread.

Forum Pages Going To Bottom When Opening CF and Threads
To add to these issues above, now when opening the CF the page goes to the bottom of the page. Started at around 1am this morning.
Using Firefox 10.0 w/ Ad-Blocker Plus.
The CF had this issue a few weeks ago and now its back!

Mine started last night.
Another IB forum Ford Truck enthusiasts started doing the same thing today.
Other sites act normally and load normally and quickly.
With all the scripts running, it's a wonder you even get to the final page you clicked on.
Yesterday, mine was hanging a bit while waiting for simbeppc.com.
