Is it just me or has the forum been running slow all day today?
I have had the same problem from work and at home so I don't thinks its just me.

It's been unreachable for me yesterday 4-6pm and this morning 9-1pm. DNS attack?

Same problem as Robin, and Old Tonto texted me today to say that he couldn't get onto the site at all.
So many models, so little time.
Re: Forum running slow?
I was unable to get on yesterday evening.
I can't see it being a denial of service attack, James. That sort of thing tends to be reserved for online shopping sites. Tesco.com gets hit regularly.

I'm a mostly full-time modeller put a part-time poster....

I don't think we've been targeted by Anonymous but script kiddies will hit sites at random.
Anyway I think we've seen this behaviour before and it probably something only Flak can resolve

Re: Forum running slow?
Nothing unusual in the server logs so I suspect there could be issues locally with higher than usual network loading or maybe issues with the DNS servers run by your ISP - in the UK Virgin in particular have had historically poor DNS performance, partly due to inheriting the garbage the NTL/Telewest had in place. If you're a dab hand with Telnet, it's worth going into your home router and pointing it to OpenDNS rather than the DNS servers provided by your ISP.
