Crikey I hope this is restricted to overseas only but the forum was out of action for quite a while yesterday and today its as slow as a wet week, anyone else having problems ???
The site is affected today for sure oldrailbug i usually have Show unread posts since last visit. here & resreshing it is a lot slower.
I've not got any probs here... I'm using firefox and sky broadband (not my choice !) and everything is fine.
It was reported to me by Lawrence that it wasn't working this morning (GMT!). Otherwise it's up to speed this end for me.
I can only guess the forum was down because of the Host, as we weren't doing any maintenance.
hi Chris I just sat for 4 minutes waiting for a post to be sent off, weired as everything else on the net is flying.
Better slow than down
There is nothing on the hosts Server Status page about any downtime
The issue I experienced was unable to connect to database, suggesting overload
Its been very slow here on and off usually waiting on a response from
www.ngaugeforum.co.uk.nyud.net (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk.nyud.net)
which seems to be where some bits like the style sheets come from
On the bright side I've laid an awful lot of track as a result 8)

Rather strange to have some of the website files sourced externally, visitors may have to wait while these files load or they may load first, resulting in the page jumping around as the style sheets are applied
the style sheet is loading from the same url as the forum
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/Themes/default/css/index.css?fin20" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/Themes/default/scripts/script.js?fin20"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/Themes/default/scripts/theme.js?fin20"></script>
there is no other domain being used for the css.

should be fixed now. but i dont think this is related to any slow downs
