N.B: Please accept our most sincere apologies for the current speed of the site, we are aware of the issue and are looking to resolve this as a priority.

    Hi All, we're making a slight change this afternoon to help us with performance.

    You won't see any visual changes, it's a behind the scenes change that might help speed things up a touch.

    Not sure of the exact ETA on this, but when I know I'll post up again.

    Has this tweak been made?  Just come back and had to login again (which makes me suspect it has) - site response is much brisker than it was this morning....

    Hi, yes this has been made a little while ago, unfortunately I had been called away, this is the first opportunity I've had to post.

    Thanks,

    F.

    I received an email notification for Doggie's response.  First one I've had on the new system!

    I did too, look top right Joe you may need to turn reply notifications off

    Yes, a small change just a moment ago, notification emails are now on.

    yeah, I saw the email notification a while back, but didn't bother altering it since it wasn't working.  Fills up the inbox a bit quickly if there's a lot going on :-)

    How long will it be before someone works out the environmental impact of too many emails do you reckon? :-)

    yet when i open my profile page in a new tab it is taking 30+ seconds to load...not at the top of the list to fix but just logged.

    Same for me but it's much quicker to refresh or open a new page. I've also found that the Insert Media dialogue box opens quicker and I can now upload photos larger than 200kb - hooray.

    Not sure whether this error has been reported previously, but when I tried to use the spellchecker I got this

    My profile page also takes 30+ seconds to open, whether in a new tab or new page, or just overriding the existing page.

    Also, when replying to a private message the scrolling is slow - however I do it it scrolls down frame by frame and jumps.

    Cheers, Linda.

    Has this always been the case or just this afternoon?

    It has always been the case Frankie not just this afternoon, could it be linked to why we can't see our friends list?

    I think the Friends List is an issue at the moment, I could simply switch it off, but I'm concerned of the impact of simply doing that without testing it. It's noted and will be looked at as part of performance.

    Would be good if you could set it to remove the notification when you have read the post it is notifying you about, at the moment you have to click notifications link even if you've read the post it's notifying you about

    This will be a feature request. I'm going to try next week to get a thread up in a sensible place to allow users to request features.
