I didn't know where to write this. I noticed that today the site loads in very, very slow. Only the main page, with the forums I had no problem, but if I want to open the main page, it loads in very slow. What could be the problem?

I noticed this earlier today.

It's the jQuery script that we use for the navigation drop-downs. The script is hosted from code.jquery.com and it seems that they've been having a bit of server troubles today. Hopefully this will go away soon, if not, I'll download the script (if I can) and park it on our server, which is incredibly fast.

It looks like everything is running smoothly now. Hopefully, we can avoid this problem in the future.
Please let us know if you see any more problems. :)

Hmm...
I wonder what's going on. I'll need to take a look at this.

Okay. Now everything is fixed.

jQuery recently moved where their script was being served. It's on Google's servers now.
I'm sure the script will be much more reliable now. ;)
