is it me, or has the site been horrendously slow today ?
several times I've sat there for ages watching the 'circle of indecision' rolling away on the top of the page, and a couple of times received this
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
no idea what SMF is, but it might mean something to someone.
no other sites are affected, so I assume it is not my internet thingy.
Mine's been slow, but not all the while.

I have had and are still having the same problem.

Yes, a bit slow at times today, though not enough to be more than mildly annoying when trying to upload piccies. Anyway, I cocked that up a bit without any help from anybody anyway!
Seems fine at the moment, suggesting @Tank (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2) has shovelled some more coal in and we are back to a full head of steam. :)
A little bit slow occasionally but generally been ok today.
@class37025 (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=311) SMF is the forum software. Simple Machines Forum (as mentioned at the bottom of all pages).
Slow here on and off today.
Very slow for most of the day, here in East Yorkshire
Also at times here slow. I updated chrome and was and am being patient..Chris @Tank (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2) any ideas please ?
Much quicker at present.

Yep, look like someone's either put a shilling in the meter or fed the hamster ;)
speeding up here too :thumbsup:
It was so tediously slow this morning I almost gave up but, of course, being a Mod, soldiered on with rolling eyes and curses flying everywhere :).
Luckily I found 2 rolling eyes and put them back in again

Amongst your Rolling Stock no doubt ;)
Try it from a cruise ship moored at Nuremberg, if you want to really understand the meaning of slow!!
Back to Blighty tonight.
