I had pages of script coming up yesterday and a few of us had problems with lag and miss-direction during the game on Saturday...I thought initially it was traffic...i.e too may people posting at the same time, but Ive been advised that that wasnt the case.....anyway, not sure if its related, but thought I would add my two penneth worth
Stu, the issue you have there is that the "Style Sheet" is not loading and you're just getting the un-styled page of links and text. Each page is actually a list of links and text and it's the job of another file, which is referenced every time the page loads, to position each element and add in colour and images (ie style). If this is happening intermittently, then it's an issue with your browser loading the page but not getting a hold of the style sheet in time to position everything as it should.
This and other issues people are having will hopefully be resolved soon-ish, so please bear with us. In short, the way the Forum operates is quite in-efficient right now and that puts a lot of largely un-necessary load on the server during times of peak traffic. I'm looking into ways of making what we have now run more efficiently before adding any new features. But this is difficult as it requires going through all the code, determining where the in-efficiencies are and finding a way to sort them out. By the way, it's not something I am capable of doing, I have to find someone to help. But soon.

I take it the forum works ok from home?
Try this one. Not had to use a proxy for a while, but just tried this one a few times and it looks ok.

Back to not having to do any work :-)
A bit slow at times yesterday but more or less okay since.
Like Tel-in-Oz, I've been getting pages of script from time to time but that's not really been the problem.
