Is this better for you guys now? We were trying to update the status page right away but it wasn't working intiially. We've had programmers working on this since the crack of dawn.

Forums should be loading a lot faster now :)

Threads should be loading faster (again). Increased the amount of cached data, and changed around some of the ways the data is sorted ?

I just pushed out more speed updates that should be taking effect for all users over the next five minutes.

I was able to view that thread really quickly , so hopefully it'll load faster for you as well.

We've seen some big improvements overnight - hopefully you guys are noticing too. We'll be continuing to monitor and tweak today.
