Connection time outs

[Sumpter250]

There are two boards that I visit daily.

KOTF is Powered by phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Group
BBT is Powered by phpBB © 2013 phpBB Group

I should add here, the index page comes up almost instantly, when I click on a "post" it takes forever to load, and more often than not results in the "time-out" error

Maybe it's the different releases of phpBB that's causing the problem, because other than that they are both the same "format", and the KOTF is much much quicker. Until recently bigblue was just as fast as KOTF, now, bigblue is running at about the same speed as it did when I was on dial-up - - - - and yes I am using Firefox for both.
