    I just handled the infrastructure side. @Toddo did the coding and UI.

    It's been better most of the day today, but I did notice it started slowing down about ten minutes ago around 7:00 PM (Central) just like others have said the last few nights. Doesn't seem as bad as last night, but it's noticeable.

    Yeah 7pm Central on the dot, every night. I'm not sure how long it lasts after it starts, though, because I'm only on while at work (until about 10pm CST), then I go home and do other things.

    It seems to last about 2 hours. So about 9PM Central.

    Edit: Interesting. After posting this, it seems a LITTLE bit better. Pages are at least eventually loading for me now.

    Another irritating part is that for some reason, the "mark the newest post as visited" command seems to be the first thing done on page load, or maybe just with clicking the link. This is annoying on it's own, but particularly here in that you click the link to a thread, then you can't ever reach the thread because of the load times.

    And yet the forum marks the thread as now having no new posts :(

    I haven't found this timing to be true, but I thought I would just verify by the clock myself that it's still happening after a certain time.

    It's 9:30p CST right now, and load times are still slow. As far as I can remember, it always lasts this long, since this issue started happening. I'll be leaving work at 10p as I said so I won't be able to track it after that.

    Yeah, the slowness seemed to last longer today then it did previously. At least it's over for now.

    Ditto on the 'always at 8PM EST' thing.

    weird how it's so consistent

    Not that weird, the consistency obviously means that something specific is triggering it rather than it just happening randomly.

    Whatever you did recently also broke all icons (i.e. bookmarks, settings, the "awesome" heart, search, etc. - basically everything right of my Profile name, any post icons, and the search button) for me at work (they are invisible - still there but I can't see any of them). Granted work blocks a lot of stuff so I'm guessing you moved them off-site?

    I noticed that the Bookmark symbol is gone from the Bookmarks Page, or their just invisible as my mouse pointer changes when I'm in the general area.

    Edit: ok the back button isn't different, it's when you quote it sends you to a new page instead of the current page.
