Is DU running slow for anyone else?

For me, it's taking a long time for the pages to load. I'm not experiencing this problem on other websites.

Perhaps a high traffic issue?

Happens every time!

People need to remain calm and lower their voices. Then, DU may return to normal. (Usual caveats apply.)

That turned out to be my problem.

Loading was suddenly slow for me for a couple of days (and I was getting long-running script msgs in IE 10) until I changed that DU account preference from "Display" to "Remove." Bingo--back up to speed!

I'm happy to be able to pass that on. I had no problem displaying those tabs until a few days ago, when the slow loading suddenly began. Looks like it's a new long-running script issue with one of those tab displays.
