Perhaps it's my computer, but the forums seem to be 'acting up' of late.
They are running at an extremely low speed, oftentimes taking ten seconds+ to load a page. My broadband connection is fine, and other sites load in the usual, prompt manner.
I also seem to get this dreaded image, everytime I attempt to load an avatar:
I've used every available format, to no avail. This is also in addition to seeing this image instead of other users' avatars, and to a lesser extent signatures.
