Similar problems for me. I was unable to add a post in the usual way last night – the page just "hung". (I could generally add a post using "Quick reply".) And on first trying to open any page of FT, I would get a message that the "page had been re-set" –.trying again usually brought the page up.
And today I find that I am unable to delete a private message – when I try, the page hangs and eventually times out.
All of this seems to be FT-specific; I am not finding problems with other websites.
ETA: The private message has been deleted, but only after six or so attempts and a long, long wait.

The timing out issues don't seem to be happening, but I haven't been able to search posts by User name all day. I think it also happened the last time we had these issues about a month ago.

I just tried and it timed out with "could not connect to server"
BUT, it my be my office - I'll have to try from my home machine. If it is my office, this is something new - I was always able to search before.

Maybe this is a coincidence, but for three days I had problems posting. I timed out with both Chrome and with IE. This was true both on FT and MilePoint. Then I used my notepad and had no problems at all.
I went back to my PC yesterday and the problems continued. I tried deleting the cookies, but it did not help.
Then I did a system restore to five days earlier (before the problems began) and they disappeared.

I just checked, and I believe my issue with searching from my office PC has to do with our McAfee settings. I get a "webwasher" notification they are "unable to connect to flyertalk.com" yet, I'm typing this from my office PC. So there must be something in search that we're blocking. I use IE7 at work.
I tried from home using IE8 and it worked.

Well I tried all morning and could never get in. Even trying to read without logging in I would time out trying to change to a different page. Went to lunch for 30 minutes and was finally able to log in for the first time today.

I had an issue until just a short while ago trying to open posts from my work computer. Some would open and some wouldn't. Those that wouldn't would just site there spinning. There wasn't a rhyme or reason to it (I checked). I'm running IE7.
I could access just fine from my home computer on IE8.
About 15 minutes ago, I was able to get into the threads that I couldn't earlier.

I had this problem starting around 6:30 this morning... and reported it.
It has been sporadic all day, both on my computer and iPad.
