We have a heap of email messages that go out at midnight each day and can disrupt some forum speed and may be a problem with the typing because they are working hard in the background. For some reason these have been going out at around 11:00am instead of Midnight and running for up to 30 minutes which might be one of the problems.
There has also been some syncing work going on today that could have lasted a few hours.
Added to that we still haven't been able to get the caching working on the server as yet.
The typing problems aren't associated with the server but will most likely be the fault of your browser or something working in the background whilst you are typing. It is also a commonly known fact that Internet Explorer (IE) has caused problems in the past with these forums and it is highly recommended that IE users switch to Firefox, Chrome, Opera or some other browser to use the forums. Also keeping your browser up to date with the most recent versions may help.
For IE users please have a look at the below threads concerning problems with IE.

Hope this has been of some help.

Hi All,
With Neils help my image problem is now fixed.
I was still seeing the text (which must have still had a copy on the old server),
but the images must have been on the new server (so I didn't see them).
There was an entry in my HOSTS file that was still pointing to the old server.
I've commented it out, cleared my cache and rebooted and it all seems to behave better.
If any of you are getting slow speeds might be worth checking if you also have an entry for the old server.
You can comment it out with a '#' at the start of the line or delete the line entirely.
Thanks Peter

I don't know what's changed but the forum is the fastest it has ever been for me tonight.
Thanks Frank.
