Slow site

Is any it just me? Or is this site running slowly this morning I have cleared my cookie cache and all temp files to no avail it's like running through treacle.

Things like ebay, flickr etc. are fine.

  • Hi all,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    The site's performance over the weekend was completely normal. The chart below shows that there was no significant rise in load times over the weekend (it shows the past 7 days). That suggest there may be an issue with your broadband provider.

    Regarding uploading images, this is an issue we are investigating separately. I will post about this specifically when we have more information.

    Best regards,

    Graham

  • Hi Graham

    We can't all be using the same broadband provider. I've just checked other sites and the pages load virtually instantly so whatever the problem is it's not my end. I've tried clearing the cache and erasing cookies but to no effect. What I have noticed is that it's the graphics on the page that are the last to load and very slowly so maybe that's where the problem lies.

  • My broadband provider is BT and I have no problem with other internet sites.

    In addition to the photo issue, I now can't post a PM.  After clicking on "send message" I get a blank box with a red cross in the top right hand corner.

  • My broadband provider is also BT and I had no problem with anything on this site.

    As mentioned before, it is just one of the servers. Everyone showing on my server had no problems. Everyone on the other server had major problems.

    Cheers, Linda.

  • I've had no real issues, except for photo uploads... our ISP is Zen (very good they are btw!)

  • How do I get on the other server, Linda, because I'm really frustrated. There must be something fundamantally wrong with the design of the system if people are on different servers.

    My service provider is o2 but as I've said elsewhere access to other sites is virtually instantaneous.

  • Hi TJ

    We were once told that it was 50/50 which server you logged in to. I have been careful to keep my cookies and cache intact so hopefully I will keep logging on to the "good" server. Other than that, all I can suggest is you clear all your cookies etc again and try again until you get the good server.

    Cheers, Linda.

  • My broadband provider is Utility Warehouse and I think (I don't know for sure) that they use Tiscalli (or is it now Talk Talk?). But I have to say that regardless of who my broadband supplier is, I was able to access all my usual web sites with no problem during the weekend. So if it was a broadband provider problem, how come so many of us had problems with the forum site and also how come I could use other sites with no problem whatsoever?

    bye for now

    My ISP is Orange.

    I have no problems uploading to Flickr or facebook. I have my own website to which I constantly update and add images all with ease and speed.

    The only website  have a problem with is this one.

    The pages is taking far too long to load, if in fact they load at all, and the reply box as woodpecker pointed out in a previous post is stretched out and hangs.

    The suggestion that it is our service providers is not credible
