I have just had a post which took 41 seconds to load, it doesn't bother me other than the delay in correcting embarrassingly daft typos it might cause.
We do appreciate all the comments, and are continuing working/investigating this issue, we will update when we can
Thread resurrection. Nothing has changed for me with this. It still takes 20 to 30 seconds for a new post to appear. Yep, first world problems 'n' all but wondered if there was any joy in sussing out what might be causing it?
Me too aye.
Yeah, it's a weird one. If you have the forum open in two tabs, you can see that your post has uploaded to the forum quite quickly. You can even open it in the second tab quite quickly. It's the refresh of the tab you posted in that is experiencing the big delay.
Edit: about 15 seconds.
Edit 2: but only seconds to add that edit.
Posting new threads takes about 30 seconds, posting replies is about 20 seconds and editing posts is about 20 seconds as well - the timings haven't really changed for me for a wee bit now, but I suspect we are now used to this new 'feature', but it is still an issue.
Whilst waiting for this to post, the wee status bar thing at the bottom was sat reporting that it was Waiting on region1.google.analytics.com - or something very similar...I've just been reading it aloud so I'd remember it and gone to type it and can't recall it!!!
Waiting on region1.google.analytics.com
I've blocked Google Analytics (NoScript plugin) and still have to wait, so that's unlikely to be the problem.

Enjoy my contribution in all it's glory, use the 27 seconds I've saved to update my memoirs.
While waiting for my post to load, I managed to take 2 screenshots, save them, upload them, paste the links into Notepad and STW still hadn't loaded. 😀
These were the things slowing it down -

Just me, or has it all gone screwy again..?
Posted 3 words, took over a minute before I got
"Error: Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds."
Post appeared when I refreshed. Other weird stuff experienced too.
Bit slower response but only a 5 second longer wait, so all done in about 10 seconds for me...not as fast as before but much quicker than it was.
...7 seconds, I just counted
Very slow tonight, perhaps some tinkering going on?
