Since the turn of the year the forums have been incredibly slow on the first day of each month (January to April). Will this trend continue tomorrow on the first day of May? Answers on a postcard please. Ian

Approx 21.20, the site seems more like normal speed now, like Ann I do hope people don't give up but also like Robbo I believe the site is not fit for purpose (& that is a phrase I normally dislike). Ian
TEEJAY - I have often seen "webenquiries@rspb.org.uk" or "web.enquiries@rspb.org.uk" ??? when there's been a glitch.
EDIT - I just got this in Edge while trying to post in YD Kestrels:
And yes... Why haven't they come here to explain?! It's not as if they don't know - MIKE has been corresponding with "admin" for days!
GARDENBIRDER - "we may simply need to put up with the annoyance." I would find that less difficult if I were simply posting comments, but if we need to use the RF to post snaps and videos and get on to the next cam, it is absolutely soul-destroying. One dare not refresh a page to see if an "event" has already been covered because that will take several minutes - then when one eventually completes a post in RF and one does find that it's already been covered, one looks like a very inattentive, inconsiderate, self-promoting poster.
Having said that, I can't imagine giving up - I'll probably continue to annoy everyone with my whinges and excuses ;)
After several hours of reporting on the evening/overnight Osprey cams (plus Yorkshire Dales Kestrels and Sydney White-bellied Sea Eagles, the latter having to be omitted in the end) I slept for 8+ hours solid, mentally and emotionally drained and physically exhausted. And to add insult to injury, it doesn't look as tho one's done much at all
IMAGICAT
At approximately 22:00... the site seems to have recovered !!!
However, I have just reminded myself that the site was fine yesterday evening and proceeded to seize up overnight, it was in that state when I started posting some time after 03:00. So we'll see...
And that took about 2 minutes to post in plain text.
EDIT - 2 minutes for the edit box to open.
Birdies LG DU update.
