Well I have definitely narrowed *MY* problem down to the quick reply section. When I put in a quick reply it sits there forever, but when I actually "post reply" it works like a charm. Kinda doubt there's anything wrong client side here, but I won't rule it out entirely till I mess with it some more.

I have the same quick reply problem when I'm at work but not when I'm at home.

NAM has been super slow and at times inaccessible over the past few days. Anybody know more than I do? (I have no information about the lagging functionality.)

This post failed four times before it finally popped up in Advanced. It's been 10 minutes and the page is still loading.

Used to be if this site was down, I thought my connection to the world was broken. Now I don't much care.

Can't bode well though if the site doesn't work.

P.S. This post did not time out

Add another 'slow' to the tally.
IE7 on a PC. This site is alone in its slowness.

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

Internet brands has been having internal network issues that have been effecting NAM. Their tech support team has been working on it all day and hopefully things will be fixed shortly.

A further update.

For those wondering what had happened to the site Friday and this weekend....


Early on Thursday last week (PST) our websites encountered an attack, one which is often referred to as a “DDOS” (distributed denial-of-service) attack.
While our network is setup to handle very substantial traffic (it deals with over 50 million visitors each month), as has been seen by other large internet sites (Twitter, Facebook, Google et. al.) such a large scale attack will cause connection difficulties. In this we were no different, and it wasn’t until sometime on the weekend where we were able to implement a successful resolution to the issue.
As part of the implementation of the resolution you may have encountered some issues with the site and its functionality, we are working through each of those items, and if you come across an issue, if you could please post it in the help forum to ensure that we have seen it, it would be appreciated.
We have been (and continue to) work around the clock until all the issues are resolved, our apologizes for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Adrian – Internet Brands.

Well, it's nice to know they're on it and trying to fix the issue, and that it was an outside attack that caused it and not just them being cheap with their bandwidth, now I wonder if that's what's been happening in the past from time to time.....

Actually, for me it happens on a very regular basis. Not a big deal for me, as I only really come here to look at a couple of things. To much bickering and finger pointing to really care about most of the site.

I still can't post pics.
I get the same message, "The connection was reset."
I have a thread that is useless without pics. Need to post them.
