Many thanks to the forum administrators for running this excellent service since many years time!
Unfortunately the responsiveness of the forum has degraded lately and there are frequent time outs with the error message:
503 Service Unavailable
It would be great if something can be done to restore the performance back to normal.

Getting the same issue. Also after each post, I end up on a blank page...

Has there been any change made today? The site has been back to normal performance at least for a short while.

It feels like the performance problem is killing this forum

Still have been getting 503 timeouts. It seems to come and go. Right now it is working fine, but I saw that in the past. Worked, then stopped working.

Now the slowing down seems to be gone, but posting gives this error message even if the message makes it to the forum:
Looks like there's a problem with this site
posting.php?mode=reply ...
might have a temporary problem or it could have moved.
Error code: 500
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in
a few moments.
