Can you cite the specific improvements we’re seeing this morning? I mean, those we’re seeing when the server doesn’t time out?
Let’s put it this way. If a hacker broke into the FR software and wanted to piss off every member, make the forum largely unusable, and send everyone to church instead of putting up with a mess, a hacker would have done this.
All that’s missing is the porn.
Looks like a change to a tag centric method of displaying "forums". Making it more dynamic perhaps? Personally, no changes are worth it until they redesign the whole top area.
I think this change was meant for infrastructure and John threw caution to the wind. Looks like the change is causing some unexpected technical issues.
