As the title says; this banner has been there all afternoon but there seems to be no impact on speed or functionality of the Forum, or any noticeable increase in activity here.
Is this on a server shared with other Forums, I wonder? It doesn’t seem to be us causing the excess load.
I’ve seen it a few times recently, the last was a few days ago when I knocked my keyboard over and didn’t notice for a minute or two. Presumably one or more keys were pressed.
Refresh the page and it should go…at least it did for me.
I can’t reproduce it, but it may depend on varying loads on the server from minute to minute.
Either way, @linux-aarhus reported a similar issue recently, then @philm said he performed server optimizations and that apparently helped. This all happened while I was asleep, so I never noticed any issues.
The reason I ask is it’s the first time I’ve seen this and despite the message, Forum pages have been loading consistently fast all afternoon (in the blink of an eye) on this T440.
I’m on a reasonable broadband connection:

I’ve had episodes recently where pages were taking ages to load (if at all) with no such banner messages.
