I think maybe it's just the servers are a little overloaded since everybody is trying to figure out how to get the new side bar? I am getting the down page, but when I refresh everything is back to normal. (for the moment)

*nod* It's slower than normal for me, and I'm on broadband.

It's on and off down for me - mostly down. I did get a nifty RE where some ice devil or something stole my spooky shake, but then it went down again and has stayed down.

Well boo on this..

trying to get the DoN challenger and trying to get a RE for the side bar is nigh impossible now... I guess it's time for bed now

works fine with me

It's up for be, but it keeps yoyoing. It had been slow for me actually, for about half as yesterday as well.

I'm on broadband and it's taking 2 minutes to load pages like the shrine and healing springs when it should only take a second. I keep seeing the smelly pteri as well

EDIT: oh, hang on, everythings going fine now...
EDIT2: no, wait, it's being silly again...

Well, this may not be a very favourable option, but if you REALLY hate the lag, you can always disable images. In Firefox, you go to

TOOLS > OPTIONS > WEB FEATURES

There should be a lticked box that says "Load Images". Untick it for lightning fast Neo, but a really crappy experience. Or, if blocking all images isn't your bag, try just Ad-Blocking the little image at the bottom of the sidebar (The blumaroo and polarchuck) It speeds it up a little.

It's a "wintery" sidebar.

It's mentioned in the news.
