Forum extremely slow

[oldfred]

Yesterday (Friday May 18) at 2:00 local time forums were ok,
At 6:30 when I logged in again, they were slow but working.
At 10:30 slower still.

This AM Saturday, so slow as I cannot post a message, home page barely loads.

Seem many errors like these, plus many similar:

I have seen it across a lot ubuntu.com websites. Will ask Canonical IS about it.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

It is also heavily affecting the Main & US servers so one would think the situation is well known

[Geoff Smith (taurusone)]

Probably little point posting here other than saying that yesterday ubuntu forums at times was completely jammed up for me. Much improved today but still not good.
