Moved to Technical Support.

Thanks for the info. The chat server has always been a problem child, not sure why it's even worse now. It's mostly a budget issue, but I'll see if there is anything I can do.

Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the server's performance at all. In fact the load is pretty low at the moment.

So I looked around and I noticed that the DNS servers that the host provides are extremely slow. I switched over to Google's public DNS and that seems to have helped some already.

I also noticed severe packet loss (bad network) and I've raised a ticket about it with the provider.

They replied, packet loss is now fixed.

Oda just uploaded a crapton of images, so I'm gonna tentatively declare this issue fixed. Please keep me posted if any issues re-arise.
