We'll be doing some maintenance later today to fix the extreme lag in posting topics/replies and sending messages that some are experiencing intermittently. For those not in the know, intermittent problems are the hardest ones to figure out. You will see a message the top of the forum that says Maintenance is happening. I will try to make sure that no one is logged in when I do it so nobody loses anything trying to post/message.
Maintenance of the website will begin at 11:00 pm tonight. The server will be offline for a minimum of 1 hour but maybe longer, at least until I fall asleep on the keyboard.
