QuoteWhat's a PITA?

Pain in the  (crude version of butt)

I have been trying to upload pictures between 01:00 and 02:00 this morning and in the last hour and the sites progress is almost glacial, which is a nuisance as I have written a tutorial about N brass bogies ant the pictures are part of it and I cannot post it until these are loaded.

Dorerstmike: Shows you how much time I spend on social networks 

Hailstone: Please see Tank's notice at top of forum 

It's 9.30pm here in downunderland and things have started slowing up. I can't do much about it personally (Tank is on it, see post at top of forum ), but I still wonder about traffic density.

Having typed this, it's suddenly super quick!   

My download speed is normally around 90M, but forum loading is always much slower than the majority of other sites.

Very slow image uploads 16/5/16:

Hi

Tried to up load some pics to a post at 16.22. Nothing happened, so left site.

I have only just been able to get back onto the site - 16.34 it just hung for the intervening time.

Hope this helps

After waiting 20 minutes for a image to upload I resorted to Photobucket again today, ,something is not right in the NGF server world. :'(

At 8pm on 17/05/16, site took 2 minutes 50 seconds from clicking URL in Bookmark to Home page appearing.

(Speed test shows download at 88M)

I've noticed for a little while now that the website is taking some time to load (not uploading / downloading anything). Very occasionally it will time out!

Are people who are having problems with the site having problems with any other site? I have been having problems loading the NGF site for a couple of weeks - I usually get the mesage that the site took too long to respond. However, I am having problems with other sites, but it seems to be a totally random thing. I live in a very rural part of Ireland and up/download speeds have never been brilliant, although they are much better when I log on at work, (using the same browser (Google), the same dongle and the same laptop). And yet, sometimes, I can download a problem site pretty quickly. I have tried using Firefox without any noticeable difference, so I am at a loss to explain what the problem is. I must admit, it is getting  annoying, but, as I say, it is not just the NGF site.

Addit:  amazing, from hitting the 'save' buton to getting the above post on the site took about 3 seconds!! 

Can't post images again - just hangs - 08.48

Frustrating or what....
