I've had this happen a few times lately but it just happened about a minute ago when I was trying to send in my last post to my Finders and Seekers thread. It sat for a long time on 'connecting to Elliquiy' and timed out, so I tried it again and it worked very quickly. At the same time it was being slow/not working, I tried opening the Elliquiy 'updated threads' link in another tab and that didn't open either, until things suddenly started working again.
I ran a traceroute right after it started working quickly again, but it was working faster by that point.
