Just reporting that the forums are terribly slow over here right now. And I apologize, but this slowness and our efficient search engine made it impossible for me to find one of the previous threads with similar titles...

Well, it seems that reporting the slowness was all that was needed for correcting it... Nearly "normal" now.

Thank you for responding to the slowdown. Fixed it on my machine in AZ, USA too!
Great work Claudio.
Appreciated,

Just hoping for some of that same magic Claudio incanted... I could use a few more $$$.
Hey, I can dream.

Claudio,
Never works like that for me. When I complain about a slowdown here, then the whole thing shuts down...
You have that magic touch!

I wish you were both right about my supranatural powers. Unfortunately, this is the only instance in which they have worked...

And, for obvious reasons, I couldn't test if they worked while the site was unavailable this morning...

And for what it's worth, no unexpected envelopes with money in them arrived in the mail today.
But it was worth a try!

You mean you only received the expected ones? Then you are more lucky than I am...

Speed in these forums has been extremely variable for about 20 minutes. There was even a lapse in which I could not connect to forums.adobe.com.

AAARRRGH! S-L-O-W.....
This is a pathetic excuse for a group of user forums. If our friends at Adobe are not going to change to something that works, then it would be nice to know.

Well, the fact that these forums have been powered by the 2.5.16 version of the software for over two years should be a hint. And I wasn't trying to be funny when I used the word "powered"; I took it from the bottom of the page.

About to do a full restart on the servers due to some node inconsistencies. Site will be down for a few minutes starting about now...

Noticed the downtime; things seem to be somewhat better right at the moment.

Hm, I have an idea what might be wrong on the Internet as a whole... Today is IPv6 day, as I recall, and people across the world are trying extra hard to access things with the IPv6 protocol. I'm thinking that might be confusing some routers all through the net.

The forums were unusably slow for about ten minutes just now, and then they were gone for a couple of minutes. They seem to be back to "normal" now.

Sorry, haven't noticed any slowdowns here, and no alarms from system monitors.

All I can say is that it wasn't my imagination. And while this happened, I did go to several other sites without any problem...

The internet is like that. It's not always the fault of the servers or the forum software, nor your local connection.
Open a CMD window and do the following command when you sense slowness.
tracert forums.adobe.com
Note all the hops - each of which represent a communications line between two routers. Look for jumps in the response times (keeping in mind some of the time is due to the limited speed of light or electrons in a communications line). The times will tell you where the delays are.
Here's sample output from that command, showing that it only takes 1/20th second for me to reach the servers from here right now:
C:\TEMP>tracert forums.adobe.com
