WOW! I managed to get to the forum games section, and post in all of the A-Z stuff with out a holdup with forum slowness or lack of response.

9-58am

Struggling to get anywhere on the forum

 

[Goonergal]

10.25 am. Very slow responses- difficult accessing alerts; slow to move between pages. Took several attempts to even get on to the forum. About 45 minutes ago wasn't able to get on at all.

Website struggling at 2.30 am, gave up
Still struggling at 9.30 and again at 10.30. Taking ages to load pages etc. This site is an amazing resource for all who use it whether they be newly diagnosed or masters in diabetes, and am concerned as to how many people will give up.

Has been slow since 7am, sometimes impossible to access or post.

Slow earlier this morning but all looks good now, log-in and Recent Posts loaded quite fast.

Slow as a lurker (not logged in..) at 10.40am.
Logging in just didn't happen. (Long wait.)
Cleared my browser history..
Then I got an email notification, followed the link. Logged in via the thread & pretty sharp now with fast response time on all loading..

11.20am and it has suddenly come to life.

Along with taking your quote & setting up a response to this thread.

[serenity648]

Hi, I've also found this most days this week. Does management know if we are getting a lot of non members hits? Isn't this the way some hackers foul up web sites? D.

 

[Bluetit1802]

Ha ha. I spoke too soon.
12-12pm and back to being slow. 3 minutes ago it was fast. Now I can't even leave this page.

 

[Bluetit1802]

3pm

When I try to change pages I get this message
This site can’t be reached
www.diabetes.co.uk refused to connect.

and anywhere between a few seconds and a minute, the page loads. It isn't happening on any other website, and it isn't my internet connection.

The site is like the M6. Occasionally you get where you want to go with minimal delay, but all too often you are stationary and thinking of what you could be doing if you weren't sitting in a traffic jam. I think enough is enough now for me. Watching paint dry might be a better use of my time. There's one thread I want to have a look at (I hope I have the patience to wait long enough for it to load) and then I'll get on with my life and give the forum a miss at least for a few months.

Good Morning! 6.2 at 0725 today.

@pleinster I couldn't log on at 0830 today. The site does seem slow early morning, could it be because a lot of us are trying to log on then to post fbgs?

Over the past couple of days, I couldn't even get the log in page up never mind actually get in..and that was trying at various times. I usually post in the wee hours anyway when traffic is less. I got here today ok...but to say it is slow would be an understatement...this needs to get easier of I'm off. No-one appears to offer any real explanation which I find very frustrating. Anyway...let's see how many attempts it takes to post this reply.

Moved by moderator to appropriate thread.

 

[pleinster]

I've had probs too, but please don't leave us. Your comments are very valuable. And VERY funny.

I got on today ok...just wanted to to kick something last night though! Surely, the site management team are aware of this issue; why are they not resolving it? The site is great in every way (and I think actually very important) except this. Thanks for the encouragement though. I don't want to abandon it but I am not the world's most patient person when it comes to this kind of thing.

Awww Zand. It is very slow, but it doesn't take a few months to load
