The performance for me is haphazard. I will say that when FT performs like this, it's not as fun as it should be.

Seems to be okay for me today, but yesterday I had an hour or so where FT was essentially unusable - it is not good when only the top one or two posts or threads get displayed. And even that taking a few minutes to load.

Same here. Slow, partial loads, sometimes full failure to load the page. On the main flyertalk.com/forum page half the folder icons fail etc etc.

Same here.
It would really be helpful to hear from IB why this site has such consistent problems that either can't seem to be fixed (why not??) or or aren't being effectively addressed?
No other website that I frequent has this many regular problems simply keeping the site running.

It's really, really horrible for me. I'm having to do the two window trick and hope that one of them manages to load

Truly awful at the moment.
But interestingly, PPRuNe (now also an IB site) has been even worse today.

Pages are failing to load here as well, leaving me with just blank pages. I'm having to hit the reload page button several times before a page actually loads.

I wonder if they'll ever get it right.

Terrible today and getting worse.
In general FT seems to be having more of these problems than it did a couple of years ago.
