I had enabled a feature to check everyone's IP address against an IP blacklist to help prevent SPAM bots. Apparently this feature kills the speed of posting on phpBB. I disabled this feature and have noticed a incredible speed increase when posting on the forums. If anyone else can confirm that this problem has been resolved for them, I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

My internet's always had terrible speed and has been worse recently itself, so I think I just put it down to that-I'll see what happens posting this though.
EDIT: Well, it was certainly better
Not great mind you, but as I mentioned my internet speed's always been on the poor side
