not  for me.
however, having said that - BT have been messing with the broadband nodes and connection sthis weekend past. this has led to some outages on my service providers network as well. we had routing problems last night to any sites in the US,  and europe.

when did the problems start, rosebud?

A4A was fine last night, and is for me this morning on all the forums as well.....

This morning?  Try all bloomin' day!  It's been driving me nuts!  Think I'm going to have to limit my time on A4A to once or week or so because it just makes me want to tear my hair out these days it's that slow and non responsive. 

Blaming nobody, I guess that's just the way things go sometimes :)

As always - some get it, some don't. Quick like a bunny all day. And mostly so.

(We are now on Broadband - does that make any difference?)

I don't think broadband makes the slightest difference, you only have to surf round your other favourite sites and that makes it quite clear. Tonight around 2200hrs it stuck and I went off for refreshments and on return it was unmoved.

Solution...click the white cross in the red box top right corner, then come back through the front door but don't go back to the thread that stuck...works for me for the time being although very frustrating. >:(

Sympathy Dan, this am you cannot go from one posting to another with exiting the site and posting a reply is like waiting for Godot!
Still no show on the Chat listing either. Dan, you must be tearing your hair out with it at present.

The problem appears to be ....

The host we are on run regular backups, unfortunately these sometimes happen between 9 and 11 in the morning UK time !

I am trying to negotiate with them, to see if we can use a different server with different backup times, if not we will be moving host again (I'm getting very efficient at doing it!).

I'll keep you all informed of progress.

Cheers

Dan

I had a look to see where the info from your website comes from and at some stage in the process it goes via america.
I get a reply back from a ney york server owned by Voxel.net

If you are using a uk host it may be worth asking why they are routing you through american servers.

It may contribute to the slow down.

Dan the man you do a wonderful job here with us all , even though we grumble
we know it is not YOUR fault, it just gets touchy when we cannot get into our favourite site. ;D  Thank you for all you do Dan, have a nice weekend. :D

Will that affect the showing of whether there is anyone in the Chatroom or is that a different problem?
