Prior to yesterday, my internet connection was always slow at home. I acquired a new wifi dongle yesterday which seems to be working at 4G speeds, rather than the 3G of the old dongle. For the last 24 hours, I have been receiving notifications about posts, but some of them are very delayed - the worst was received 47 minutes after the time of posting.** If I click on a post, email, or any other site for that matter, the response, compared to yesterday, is almost instantaneous. (Daft as it sounds, I find that quite a novelty ;)). Because of the previous rubbish connection, I never noticed any delays before. Is this normal, likely to be something at my end, or something else? ???
** By that, I mean the time the post is shown as being posted on the forum.
I can't really help as I only get mails to say I have a PM (which includes notification of tagging) but only check my e mail a couple of times a day, if that.
I am not much help either, living where I do, I go to bed here and when I get up in the morning there's a dozen or so notifications waiting for me.
I don't bother looking at the time they arrived as it's not in local time anyway.
:sorrysign:
Although I can't vouch for earlier messages, I just received a notification at 9.47 am for a post made at 9.46am. So no delay I can see at present.
I have just this minute received notification of your post, which is timed at 0950. ???
Bloody Irish ;D ;) :thumbsup:
I'm saying nowt - I have to live here! :)

Well I received notification of your reply immediately.
You must be working in the Leitrim Stock Market. I understand that it is traditional for data to the outside world to be delayed about what is happening in stock markets to avoid people jumping on selling/buying bandwagons, or something like that.
So it's getting delayed somewhere in your email system. Now you have a faster Broadband speed, it may be time to reset it to fetch emails more frequently or quickly, if you have the choice.
Your reply notification was received at 1100 - 1 minute later! I don't know what is happening. ???. As far as I am aware, other emails come through okay, although I will have a look at the settings menu. It is not important though.
Well you're receiving me, and me receiving you, all across the world, mate!
An idea,,,, I'll have a beer! :beers:
Oh of course. It's early morning there! :beers:
Sounds to me like you have a time lapsed dongle :laugh:
I think it is the likes of Chris in Prague with their stories set in the 60s and involving time travel that have somehow upset the straight passage of messages. :). It only seems to be messages And posts Relative to the filling In of a Space on the forum that Time enters another Dimension. ::)
And there was me thinking it was a TARDIS, not an ARISTD :confused1: :P
This forum sends out hundreds of emails a day to members, so the forum automatically makes a list which is gradually works through. This is so it doesn't cause too much work for the server at one time - along with other tasks. There may be a short delay of up to an hour sometimes, but it's usually near instantaneous.
That could explain it @Tank (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2) as a lot of the post notifications do come through quite quickly. :thumbsup:.(Still blaming @Chris in Prague (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2895) though ;)).
And as for you @Newportnobby (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264) - I couldn't get the words to fit a sentence in the right order, so thought I would give some one something to think about! :P
(Or could I blame the space continuum?)
