Thanks Brian,
and yes the site is still very much useable, despite the minor inconvenience. The main point is that people know where the problem is ... otherwise once might get the idea reloading Os'es and have "fun with that".
Perhaps if this continues for some time Chester could put up a login message (motd or whatever that is called these days) informing people that there are issues with the site and that repeated reloads may be required.
Where does the traffic come from? Certainly not from the board, there are at most 10-12 concurrent users.
This would lead the main site? Is the traffic due to excessive "false" hits?

currently trivialities is all I have to worry about
