As we have all noticed, the forum software has for some time had a tendency to hang, sometimes causing a Cloudflare timeout, leading to duplicate posts. I investigated this a month or so ago, but did not reach any definitive conclusion about the cause, although my main suspect is the we server package.
Early today I rolled back that package to an earlier version to test for a few days. Please report any cases where the forum hangs for more than 15 seconds, or triggers a Cloudflare timeout. Don't bother reporting shorter delays, as they could be due to other causes.

All good here this morning! 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

i have also re-enabled the web-server cache (which has been switched off for a couple of years), and it has reduced the server load by about 90% (which says quite a lot about the coordination between the 100s of "guests".
