After generally good performance for much of today, the forums are timing out for me again. I assume other folk are having problems too.
Your assumption is correct.
I'll take the time to mention that there are easy ways to test individual internet connectivity, from the trusty old ping to simply taking samples of page refreshing on the tested site versus some other known site. Once it has been established that local connectivity is fine, it gets a little trickier, as one could move on to a tracert to the forum's IP address and see where it fails, since the failure could be regional (in a wider-reaching network node) or at its source (i.e. the forum server).
And judging by the information we have so far... yes, the forums need software updating. Picking a good time for that is beyond me, but I'd suggest sooner rather than later.
