During peak usage times. Its alright early in the morning, but lately it has been downright abominable at night when theres a lot of people on. Like sometimes so bad i have to just close my NS tab and reopen it later.

Im quite sure its not my internet because i can load other sites much much much faster, i think its something on NS's end

Same thing happened to me literally ten minutes ago...None of the pages on NS would load and I had to close the tab and open again a couple time and than it started working fine again.

Same thing is happening to me, pictures are the worst though. Sometimes it can take them like 5 minutes to load.

For those of you having trouble replying, try going to Manage My NS next to your icon up top and turning off the Fancy Editor. It sometimes messes with some browsers

Can we get more details as to what is happening?

Also give browser/OS/any detail possible. Screen captures are great too. If you experience this, give us as much information as is humanly possible, and we can usually figure it out.

I'm pretty sure I know the cause of this and am working on a fix.

Can you all plz confirm that this tends to happen around each 20 minute mark on the hour?  Eg: 1pm, 1:20pm, 1:40pm, 2pm, etc... ?

This is what happens when it happens to me.

It will be around 10 or 11pm Pacific time and I will click on my Home button to go to the homepage for NS. It will sit there and have a blank white page loading for about 10 minutes or more sometimes.

I am using Firefox I think upgraded to the newest one and it is Windows Vista. And don't blame Vista cause I can load Sherdog, GameSpot, TGR, and Facebook just fine at that the same time in a different tab.

I'm on the east coast, windows XP and firefox.  my computer will hit 75% usage when newschoolers is open during peak usages and my computer will run at a snails pace but as soon as i close teh newschoolers page it drops to 3% and runs like the day i got it.

It's been happening to me as well. NS won't load on any page for a couple minutes where sites like Facebook are super fast at the same time. Linux/Firefox/No Ad Block(Looks like its all operating systems and browsers)

Two days ago (Tuesday), between 10 and 11AM PST.  Specifically I was trying to check out the SIA pages on IE8 using Windows 7.

Two hours later, load times for those pages seemed to be fine.
