All - just a quick update on progress.

Work continues to identify the root of the slow performance issues, with an end-to-end review being carried out on the forum (I.e. server / database / forum). Unfortunately, this is a timely process and there are currently no timescales for resolution.

In the interim, we will be making a number of changes to the forum over the couple of days which should improve the way the forum loads (things like how the browser caches a copy of the site, how you view images etc). During these updates, I'll try to keep any downtime to a bare minimum.

Apologies for the current performance issues and I hope you can be patient for a little longer till I can resolve the issue.
