Speed (Slowness) of Opera Forums

Well I'm in the UK, and can't say I've ever had any problems with the speed of this forum, on Opera 12.17.
You could be right about it being worse in the States.
I do agree about the annoying anomalies that keep happening around editing posts!
Having to keep on refreshing the page to see what you've really got is very tedious!

@davehawley, what is curious is that the "Opera" server for my communicating with Opera forums is currently showing as located in the US. Obviously, there must be some handoffs with other Opera servers elsewhere, and I suspect it is those handoffs that are causing the bottlenecking. For example, this site just now took 23 seconds to load after coming here fresh from the DSLR forums (which took all of 0.9 seconds to load), both from "cold' starts with a freshly restarted browser, but with log-in cookies already stored in place.

That is odd, I've almost never had it not load instantly for me, except on the odd occasion that it's actually been down altogether of course!
The only thing it does always do is to load and then immediately refresh to automatically log me in.

I get the same "immediate" refresh behavior to automatically log me in as well... but "immediate" here typically amounts to an additional 15-30 second load time. However, I have noticed this afternoon a marked speedup of forum page loading... this page just now loaded in 2.7 seconds, and I've never seen an Opera forum page load so quickly here before.

Today?
Today I came with Firefox, it's slow, but I tend to blame it on my browser.

Yes, the forum does seem to be slower than usual at the moment (using Opera 12.18).
