Slow Forum?
These past couple of days AoS has not been its usual sprightly self with slow page rendering, long pauses after posting messages and double-posting. I'm noticing this from both home and work so it's not my end.
Is there something going on with bandwidth or your servers?

I've also been getting e-mail notifications of old postings, causing some confusion.

Chaps,
It'll be down to the server, Bluehost. If they're having problems, then so will we
Everything appears to be ok now, but we'll continue to monitor the situation closely. However, these things happen from time to time. It is most certainly not to do with bandwidth, as we have only scraped the surface of our allocation!
If it continues, we will contact Bluehost and ask for an explanation. In the meantime, keep us posted of any problems you're experiencing.

Things are getting worse (again) since yesterday...
The main problem seems to be getting to thread's details and posting. Listing topics & newposts seem to work rather ok.

Its been very slow for me as well. As my broadband subscription is not very fast..its slow anyway (compared to the rest of you I would think)but recently it has been awful.
Glad its not just me.

To be honest, it is not constant. It's ok ten minutes, then slow again...
Also, Neil, the broadband subscription has not much to do with it : a typical AoS page is between 20-40kbytes. It's ridiculously low, tbh.
(oh, and I got twice a double post this morning, although I am very careful with clicking : the forum engine has a bug somewhere...)

Yes, slow again here too. I've got a 10Mbps dedicated fibre line at work and no-one is in, so it's not my end
