We had a slight issue yesterday with one of the VM's. The problems should have existed only during a small window, and only for a small percentage of the users.

We're still working on tracking down what the problem was.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

xxxxx.ibsrv.net is VERY slow to reply
 

I am noticing often now that pages load very slow, always it is due to something.ibsrv.net.

I am trying to send someone a PM right now so I loaded their profile by clicking their name, and it is stuck on 'avatars.ibsrv.net' loading for over 1 minute, this has happened with several other subdomains of ibsrv.net as well in the last 2 days.

Seems related:

I am on Verizon DSL (as any admin can see by my IP)

ibsrv.net has some issues to say the least. Pages don't load till ibsrv.net times out...hopefully that 'IBSrv' is a good high capacity server optimized for serving that static content.

Two days? Try 3+ weeks :rolleyes::

So frustrating when good suggestions don't get taken and reported problems don't get fixed. :(

Here's another example: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...es slowing ft!

I'm in HKG at the moment and experiencing this IBserv problem. Quite frustrating.
I might have to not look at FT while I'm here....:eek:

IBSrv uses our third party CDN, who has been notified.

Exactly the same from about 8am-noon CDT today on verizon network.
