I am often finding the forum very sluggish to load at the moment both at home and at work with the occasional security warning from Google on my desk top PC, anyone else? To start this thread it took about three minutes to start

It's been like this with me for about a week. I tried to clear the history, 3 browsers and nothing helped.

I found this forum really slow at first yesterday but it suddenly sped up?

It's often really slow compared to other forums, I've just assumed it's a hosting bandwidth problem???

Same here, maybe even a bit longer than one week. I tried several browsers across several devices, no change.
But prior to this, just a few days before , I had a strange forum experience - got logged out on all devices for a day, even though I usually stay signed in permanently by default. When trying to sign in a message would pop up, stating that my password was incorrect. The next morning I was able to sign in on my phone, with the same old password, yet at the same time this password would get rejected if I tried to use it on my laptop. :confused:
Eventually I got logged out on my phone too. Again.
In the end I lost my patience and just changed the password on both devices. But shortly after the whole forum slowed down for me, and it's still dragging, it's just the amount that varies from time to time.

You explained this very well. I thought there was a problem with my network, tried two more spare ones, it didn't help. Then I saw, one evening, that the forum was being updated, (previously written Community Platform by XenForo® © 2010-2022 XenForo Ltd. it is now 2023.) since then it has been somewhat better, but worse than the loading of other sites that I use.

RT main page works fine.

Gentlemen,

We're painfully aware of the problem. The hosting company we've been using for this forum since its inception almost 10 years ago used to be good. Then they got sold and the service been on a steady decline ever since. There will be a change in the upcoming weeks, which will inevitably result in some downtime, but will hopefully address this.

RT main page works fine.
Our main page and store are on a different hosting company than the forum.

Folks, expect the forum to be down for several hours this afternoon (US east coast time, evening in Europe).

Hopefully, this will go smoothly, but there's no way to avoid some hours of downtime.
