Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow

Is it just me or is the forum a bit 'all over the place' lately?
Normally it all churns over at a reasonable speed but all of a sudden in replying to a post or reading all unread posts and it just hangs for what seems ages.
Likewise, most of the time when I give a 'Thank You' it just hangs while 'Loading' is displayed at the top of the page. This often takes so long I abandon the 'Thank You' and just move on by pressing 'Home' and then reading the next unread post.
If it's just me then I'll shut up and suffer.

i have had the same issues, checked my connections, equipment, glad somebody else has noticed

I too have noticed the same.
It's not too bad but just a bit of a niggle sometimes.

Unfortunately, that is normal for me, living where I do. The, (slightly better), internet connection at work is the only reason I work part-time and have not fully retired! (Well, that and the money of course).

And another reason why I am looking to return to blighty in the not too distant future.

Yep, been a bit ropey here too!

Yet_Another · June 23, 2018, 10:37:21 AM

Yep, randomly hangs, irrespective of which connection I'm using

Is there anyone out there?
It's still going on.

For me looking at unread posts brings up 6 or 7... I used to get 1999 pages or I may be exagerating a bit.

Probably talking this up but not having any problems here in Spain.

No, no, slow, slow!

Just wouldn't load one particular page.

Yeah, I'm still here, Mick, but didn't want to say anything that might upset you cos there's no problems here

Just after 3pm today and it's slow, slow, almost stopped, slow I'm afraid.

Nope

Surprised it hasn't 'timed out' this morning

Newportnobby · July 02, 2018, 10:22:01 AM

It's totally inconsistent. One minute it's racing along and then, for one or two posts or replies, it just hangs. Then it's off again like a good 'un. I don't have any such issues with other websites.
I agree BT Infinity speeds are not the best they could be in my area but they are the best of a bad lot. I won't contemplate a smart phone as reception in this area is :censored:awful on all networks so my prehistoric mobile doesn't even work at home

(Mind you, my last company supplied me with a mobile phone which didn't work at their premises

)

Maybe your solution is that I move home. Happy to do so if you care to underwrite my mortgage
