It seems FT has been down for a hour or two. FT Mobile is working, albeit slowly.

I think the problems started around 3.5-4 hours ago, with some timeouts and general slowness.
Then the site was down for a couple of hours, and as commented (and I'm posting, so it must be true!), it's back up now although slow.
Hopefully will improve speed-wise soon, although my suspicion is that there was a database issue which has been resolved, but re-indexing is taking place (or something similar) and causing the ongoing issues.

We're having a network problem that we are currently working on. We appreciate your patience.

It would be nice if FT could/would send out a mass e-mail to every member letting them know of the problems.

Maybe redirecting the website to a "FT is temporarily down. Site experiencing problems and will be up soon" would be a more viable option. But even that probably depends on the outage, the expected length of time down, etc.
At least it seems to be up and working again. ^

Just tried to reply in another forum. Timed out. Tried again and it loaded immediately.

I think the network problems persist. At least I can get in now though.
