Usually refresh the page and it loads again. I haven't had a complete outage in a while.

I suspect it has to do with with ads loading on the page.

LOL if DU is slow I hit discussionist and it loads fast.

Some factors might be if you have a lot of threads hidden by keywords or ignore, its going to take more processing to load.

Also the lag could be from 3rd party ads, which Skinner does not have that much control over. If they are slow to load the whole page will hang, huge threads also load only half way sometime.

Fear not I'm sure skinner is working on DU update 4 for the election year. I suspect that could be a reason DU3 not a big priority.

Peace Justin
