Over the past week I've noticed that in the 'Last Post' column in the right hand margin, I'm no longer seeing post times.
Also individual posts are no longer time stamped in any forum.

The indicator arrowheads are no longer visible either. All I'm seeing is the Windows No Image to Display logo.

Lately the forum also seems reeeaaally slow to load & refresh.

Everything else on my laptop, other forums, facebook etc... are loading just fine.

Server problem?

no sir, we're good to go here - the problem has got to be on your end, sorry.  drop/flush browser cache and see if things get better.  if not, might be a system bug in your box.

 Thanks Rob. Cleared my cache & it seems to have fixed the issue.

yay!  dodged that bullet!
