Every time I visit this forum - no matter what time - I find pages load so slowly I inevitably give up waiting.Frequently pages don't load at all - after 30 seconds of waiting I get a 'page unavilable' error.
There is something seriously amiss here. It should not take 30 seconds or more to load the next page. This is what it was like in the 90s with 14400kps modems! With superfast cable capable of streaming HD video flawlessly, there is no reason a simple web page should take more than a second to load.
I did notice that the replies were slow to load up earlier today but put that down to an ancient laptop.

No it's not your laptop. Trying to view or upload pics is particularly difficult. Many pages end up with 'error' but no explanation. I post on many forums and this is the only one I have problems with.
I get the same thing, Sam, so it certainly isn't just you. Or Pete's ancient laptop.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thirded - it has to be the servers the site's running on - even when working fine, it's slow (if that makes sense!)

But it has shown great improvement in the uploading of pics - not been getting that red X in a box for well over a week!
