State of the forum

[ixid]

The forum has a number of issues, is there anything practical 
that can be done to address them? A forum should really work.

Regular forum errors (XHR error)
Posts disappearing after getting stuck in a waiting for message 
response loop
Often very slow
Broken up threads with the same title
Often has layout errors when loading that require a refresh
Works poorly/buggily on mobile browers (Android Stock/Android 
Chrome)

Also the user habit due to the combined use of the forum as an 
email discussion and as a website forum of repeating the whole of 
a post, often to respond with a one-liner. Posts without the 
whole email/context repeated receive complaints that people do 
not know what it is in response to.
