We were alerted in the early afternoon on 6/17/23 by multiple users of site delays or unresponsiveness on some site pages. The forums being the most commonly impacted, and Chrome browser was the most commonly impacted browser. Upon investigation, we have noticed ad-blockers seem to correct this issue, as well as the use of other browsers such as Brave and Firefox, and mobile access is rarely impacted. For full site access and to prevent experiencing these issues we recommend you temporarily enable an ad blocker or switch browsers to brave or firefox.
We are currently working to patch the issue, but it appears to stem from a bad combination of a few external serrevice providers, and source code we do not control. So we are looking to remedy this ASAP.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and will be prompt in our updates on the issue as more information becomes available.
Regards,
-Chris
