@Administrator whatever your names are.

The forum has been slow for a fair while, to day is being particularly bad with 503 errors, clicking on links takes forever that's if they do open, page refreshing is taking forever.

Posting in a thread is bad, it takes to long. I have triple posts in one particular thread.

I have mentioned / complained about this before but it it still persists.

It must be time to change hosting company's and get on a new server farm that is faster.
 
Yes, It was taking far too long to access most Threads - I just gave up and didn't bother coming back on this evening. However, just come on now and must admit it is so much better. Whatever you have done? = Thank You :).
 
I have to agree with all the above, earlier this evening :(

Posting replies - I've actually copied my replies (2 of them) into Word, then gone away / another site to do something else for 20 mins or so, returned and still posts not gone through. Just gave up in the end

Opening pages/threads - Taking a good 10 mins before the site gave up on it

Totally exasperated and so gave up in the end. Just popped back now (12mn) and found the site much more responsive - maybe due to fewer members viewing the posts, perhaps???

If this continues, I'll not be visiting for a week or so, until improvemenets are seen. I can't sit around while the site takes so long to process. Sorry :(
 
Yesterday was bad, I managed to log on eventually but just couldn't, t do anything. Then couldn't, t log out.
I know tech people are doing their best to sort things out.
It's just one of those things and am being very patient
 
There is a banner a the top of my page saying

'Forum slowness issues have been logged and are being investigated! App users seem to be unaffected. Thanks for your patience.'

so I guess they are doing all they can to rectify the problem.
 
Yes there is a bit at the top saying about the site being slow.
That's why I am being patient.
 
Tried last night but failed miserably, so I watched the footie on television!
 
I'm struggling on the app (both iPad and my Android phone) - gave up last night but seems ok this morning
 
I think there was a general internet problem last night as another site told me they also had issues. But it has been slower I general recently and the notice has been up for a while.
 
I notice the speed is so much better this evening :)
Thanks to whoever is responsible
