Topic: Why has e621 been running slow?

For the second evening in a row, I've had to put off getting caught up on the latest postings because whether it's pages displaying individual images or the pages displaying thumbnails, they're very slow to load is they'l even load at all, which they usually don't. This happens regardless of what browser I'm using and while other sites of all kinds load just fine, so it's not my comp, browser or connection. Anyone know what's going on?
