EXTREME server lag issues

I'm having same problems - most of the times I get time out when loading any page here :(.

Okay, narrowing down this issue.

I'm now using a laptop on my home network, and there IS NO LAG. That's right, the lag only occurs on my desktop machine, on the same network.
I'm still using Firefox, still using Win XP.

It MIGHT be a problem with some sort of plug-in? Perhaps one of the plug-in updates is not playing well with something on the site? That would explain why others are having this problem, but with no pattern to it.

I'm on OS X on Chrome and having no problems here.

I get major lag now and then, not too often, just occasionally

Firefox w/windows xp pro

It seems to be worse if I am logged into the site...

Is anyone that is experiencing the lag logging into the site via Facebook?

Nope, I never log in via Facebook. I can confirm, only my desktop is lagging out on the site, and it is worst when I am logged in.

On the laptop, there's no lag at all. However, when I logged in, I did get an 'invalid redirect' message, so might want to check that.

We know about the redirect thing - it's seen with firefox quite a bit - but if you navigate to another page you should be signed in fine.

I'd try removing adobe flashplayer with the uninstaller on their site and then reinstalling the latest version.

This is just in case it is one of the adverts or something.
