    If it's the database hanging, why does it seem to affect only certain users?

    Or, potentially, the issue is that the HTML is fully retrieved, but for whatever reason, other assets are not - I've seen this break pages before, where it'll even appear that the page is "cut off" when the full source code is present.

    Again, it depends on the browser and a host of other variables.

    The presence or absence of source code is not entirely meaningful if most browsers refetch when you view the source code. I haven't done a survey of browsers recently, but I know IE6, Firefox 2, Safari 1, and all versions of Netscape refetch.

    Was that this morning? The DB decided to pitch a fit this morning at about 10:30 or so. Got 99 e-mails about it.

    Yep. That corresponds with the down time (my time was PST). In other words, that isn't the reported issue (although still an issue, one which I honestly have no clue about).

    I restarted the DB when the process hung. I believe it was down for 7 minutes. Unfortunately, that seems to have no bearing on the current problem.

    Also, FWIW, I can't run a complete traceroute from WF to any of UA's IP addresses; it starts starring out on one of their servers. This definitely leads me to think it's a problem on his ISP's end.

    Well, again, what are the shared traits? Your computer, and the web site you're trying to visit. I cannot think of a reason why a server would steadfastly refuse to serve a handful of people properly if we haven't told it to.

    Refresh my memory - how does the site behave in IE? Also, how does the site behave if you're logged out and browsing? Maybe there's an issue with your account specifically.

    Also, much like UA, I could only run one successful traceroute on the IP addresses associated with your account (and there are a lot of them), and it seemed to be one of the one-off ones. All the others failed. Traceroutes aren't infallible, of course, but I was surprised to see so many fail.

    But it's multiple ISPs, different locations, different browsers. Skins?

    Odelay for the record - and it doesn't work fine.

    Face, there's a boatload of IP addresses listed for you. Which block of them are you having problems from, and which block are you not having problems from (ie, which have you used, working or not, recently)?

    FWIW, I haven't had any noticeable problems with page loads, either at home (on an ancient computer over a DSL line or at work on newer boxes over a T1 line). :shrug:

    And if you're only having problems from one (set of) computers, PM the results from the computers where it is working.
