At around 08:26 to 08:30 I had a cloudflare issue.
Working fine since then.

The home page navigation is messed up with Linux font rendering:
Seems that the text is overflowing because of the font change that happened recently.

Can you please hard refresh? New CSS will most likely solve the problem.
Whose ninja sanitizing this thread?
We looked into it, but it proved very challenging. That is why we opted for a mobile version...EDIT: Also, when are we getting responsive design for the forums?

No ninjas... Me, as per RBPs for off topic posts.
A common article on the MyBroadBand site is between 5 and 7 megabytes. This is outrageous for such a small amount of content. Even if I install a hectic ad blocker, an article is still about 4~5MiB.
- Runtime.js should be removed. There is no necessary place for flash on the site.
- Static advertisement backgrounds
- Should be better-compressed
- Should not contain the middle part where the page’s content lies. Instead use two fixed divs. - About 800KiB is being wasted by Facebook’s CavalryLogger. Use only one instance, not four, or get rid of it entirely.
- Locally store, combine and/or minfiy resources for faster loading (less requests). These can include:
- CSS
- Javascript
- Images
-Google Fonts - All images that do not contain text or transparency should be jpegs. There are some thumbnails that are pngs and using nearly triple the bandwidth they need to.
- Stop using base64 images. This slows down how fast the rest of the page content can be loaded (you have to wait for all the html to load before the scripts before the ending body tag).

The actual problem on the site is using disqus and 3rd party JS (Google, Twitter, Facebook) which generally have a low TTL / cache busters - http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150916_Q4_P0V/1/details/. Image compression is an issue, but the CMS/CDN should manage this automatically.
The server probably runs an untuned varnish/nginx/httpd standard LAMP configuration. Please just include the following into your HTTPD server to get some basic caching going:

Lol yeah, well I don't care for those. I at least now know that if I can get 2 posts per post then I can get my post count up and stand a chance to win a damn prize on this forum.You forgot to mention the double posts

Is it just me or do the forum pages load and then refresh again ? Seems to go blank for a sec or so.
