... another user having serious problems with this. 80% of the time forum pages are not loading; just the Internet Brands Travel logo is displaying.
Really annoying, as the site is almost non-functional - I hope Tech Support can fix it soon!

Me too from the CCR yesterday - refreshing and other issues, just got the top line banner, the IB logo, and a blank page. Sufficiently frustrating that I simply gave up, and I know I have a high pain threshold! I suspect unregistered lurkers will be most impacted. Under VPN the situation wasn't helped by Russian banks advertising, which are blocked by my provider as part of sanctions.
Fine on my usual version (I'm allowed an ad-free FT profile).

This is a big problem - as the site is loading up video content now embedded. I found it was making my Safari browser fall over.
I actually dont mind Ads but increasingly websites are getting greedy, so its their own fault if they dont get the revenue from people like me.

Wow. I hope this will post since it took me *many* refreshes to even get here. Here are my details, hope this helps:
I'm in Vancouver, Canada. FT has basically been unusable for me since Oct 27th or 28th last week. It's happened on the following:
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PC's at different locations
IE9 and Chrome v46, doesn't matter same problem. Can't see the boards or the messages, just the same "Internet Brands Travel" banner...
Anyways, I will check back in a couple weeks, but FT just isn't usable for me as it stands. Sorry, I don't have any screenshots.

This issue has made this site completely unusable for me. Have to reload 10 times in order to read one page. Tried on Chrome, IE, Firefox all the same (on Win10). Found a solution but not sure it is good for this site...

1) the techies are having trouble loading the page to post their update?
or
2) nobody cares
