The site has been loading at normal speed for me (using Mozilla) however I've noticed other issues with posts. Someone was having trouble seeing all the posts on a thread I listed. On a different thread, I had to type and submit a post multiple times before it displayed. I refreshed several times, but only one of the entries went through.
No problems here with page loads. And the only noticeable change I see is that the Quick reply box is aligned to the left instead of the middle of the page.
