The last few days the pages in forums and gallery have been loading very slowly about 60-70% of the time. At other times I get a message that says database error, maybe 1 in 20. Earlier today I went to the gallery and a couple of the pages would not display thumbnails (cover) and I got an error message from Photopost. It was gone a little while later.

It might just be me, thought I should mention it. I use Safari on OSX, both current.

If it stays this way a few more days I will let you know.

I do recall Medusa posting something a couple days ago about the site having some wonkiness going on, so maybe it correlated.

We've been under attack and swamped by spammers and those trying to break into the forums. This is the kind of DoS (Denial of Service) can cause performance issues. I'm hopeful that things will settle down when they realize that they cannot get anywhere here and will give up on us.
