SLOW again?!?!?!?
For the last 30 minutes, it has taken 2-3 minutes for pages to load.
What I see while waiting for pages is
Waiting for forums.corvetteforum.com
Waiting for b.scorecardresearch.com
Read s-static.ak.fbcdn.net
I do see a few other things that are waiting to load but they only take a few seconds.
Occasionally I can hit the "Stop loading this page" button on the Firefox toolbar and then doing a page refresh F5 or the Reload This Page button on the toolbar and the page I want will reload in 4-5 seconds.
Every other website I visit (new window) loads immediately.
Windows XP SP3
Firefox 11.0
Ideas??

Unfortunately, "cruiser", this now seems to be normal, most of the time. I've been mentioning the "503 error", when I try to click on 'my recent topics' for the last 6-8 weeks, and others have mentioned it too. It's now pretty much "normal".....

As far as other aspects of reading and posting, I've not had a problem lately. Firefox seems to have fewer problems than several versions of IE.

A day after I started the thread, everything seemed to be back to normal; excellent speed for page loading and no waiting. It really isn't very often that I see huge slowdowns; sometimes a page may take 3-4 seconds to load and that's not a problem for me.

Today, logged on, as usual took 30 seconds to be "recognized"....and as usual, went directly to "my recent topics". OK, I tried to limit my search to "last 2 days", in an effort to speed things up.
I got the "503 error" 5 times, on the 6th try, I got the "no matches" message, and on the 7th attempt, finally got into my "last 2 days".....
Yes, I realize my post count is well over 14,000, BUT I'm only trying to view the last 10-15 of them........
