Blame Michael for the missing posts! He deleted his thread entitled 'Slow Website' after I moved the posts over to his thread.

Has been horrific all morning, but fine for me now.
The reasoning behind this is due to our host moving servers. Matters out of our hands, I'm afraid. See statement by Bihira below:

We will be migrating Mahal’s accounts to the new server this week. We recommend not making any major changes to your website during this period. We do not expect any downtime during the migration but it is possible and if it does occur we will try to keep it to a minimum. Lastly, if there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us. We are always happy to help.
