It can be a pain at times when a member is thrown off the forum for posting a thread
I had real issues trying to log in in on Saturday morning just past. I wanted to delete something and I could not at all. When I deleted it it reappeared once again later on the same day LOL - just a poltergist me thinks..... haunting me on here!
Hopefully there will be more upgrades coming our way to improve the servers that must be groaning with all the new members on here at the moment

Exactly why i don't visit as often as i'd like too.No other site i know, is this slow.

Think we all suffer, most in silence on forum but swearing at screen.

Hi Seymour
I have to agree with you on this one. Countless times, I have typed a reply to a Post, and then when I press the Submit button I get the dreaded yellow exception page and my Post has been lost. Sometimes I can't be bothered to go through the whole thing again, and I give up.
Getting to anyone's profile page, including your own, is ludicrously slow. I usually open a new window and go back and read other threads while I am waiting.
And the Search box! Well I could go and make a cup of tea and sit and watch the birds for half an hour before anything populates in there.
I think the Community needs a good old Spring clean at least.
Best wishes Chris

For me that would only take around 30 minutes 'cause I live in Oxford.... so, I think I'd go to Norfolk to tick off some nice birds and then come back!!

PS I haven't actually twitched off the turtle dove although I live near 'it'....

It's only just up the road from me, as the dove flies, so to speak.. I have been looking much harder at all of the doves that land in my garden, just in case. :-))
Hi everyone,
I have also had this problem when you have replied with a long note to someones post ,only to hit the submit button and then to lose it all, I now "highlight" copy it first before I hit the post it tag ,then if I lose it , I just paste it back on and try again ,saves all the typing out again, hope this might help
Regards Mick
Work is for those people that don't Bird-watch!!!!
