WotC message boards: Are they down?

[countgray]

I have been having trouble all day accessing WotC boards. They are extremely slow to load if they load at all and I cannot post at all. Not having problems with any other website, just WotC.

I can't seem to load more the 25%-30% of the page, and that's after a few minutes. And I know others can access the forums, because people have been replying to one of my posts! Quite frustrating.

They were down for maintainance last time I tried

They're still very slow for me this morning, pages taking up to a minute make that several minutes to load. I'm having no problems with any other site, so I doubt it's a problem at this end.

EDIT: As of around 1pm today, they seem to be back to normal. Fingers crossed.

Maybe the Community boards are going to switch over to pay content as well?

(Kidding, just kidding!)

Might have something to do with them getting ready for UnCon, though, maybe.

Thanks all. This morning, the boards are working perfectly normal for me.

The boards always go down for ~30 minutes at 12 o clock (GMT +1). Maybe it was that?

They used to display an error message; and I don't think the problem is the boards being down when it only affects some people. Odd that it affects only some people, and only then for a relatively short period of time.

No, I know that regular outage well (since I'm at GMT and often browse the forums from work). Yesterday's problem was in effect for around 24 hours.
