Sometimes I get the message "Waiting for geekhack.org ..." in the status bar at the bottom of my browser and a blank page, that lasts for anything up to about 5 minutes. THis happens when I post a reply, click to mark all threads read, click the home page link - anything basically.
At first I thought it was my crappy internet connection dropping out again, but it happened a few minutes ago and I was able to browse dozens of other sites, do a download, and watch YouTube videos, all while GH was not responding.
Invariably all GH pages eventually open, and usually all at the same time.
It's like GH accepts any posts I send it, then completely refuses to send anything back to me for a few minutes. Then suddenly comes good again.
Like it happened a few minutes ago (if anyone wants to get a timestamp from this post).
Screen like this one (except the status bar at the bottom of the window did not appear in the screen capture):
