Let me test it out. Nope...at least not this time. But I did notice that when I click on a thread with a bunch of pages it doesn't bring me to the last page..kinda in the middle of the thread. example: I just opened the "do you recognize the blade above you thread" it took me to page 619 of 671. Sorry to go a little off topic..maybe I should post it in general feedback.
Goes pretty fast for me, and that's with my parents terrible internet connection. It's even faster at my place.
its faster now than it use to be, but i still get those 404 errors sometimes too. alot less frequently tho.
