The server seems to be 'under high stress' for a lot of the time.  Can't get to 'replies to posts' or to 'new posts since last logged in'.  Also lost a couple of personal messages recently, because after the send button was pressed, the server was not responding and later only gave the 'back' option.  When this was pressed, all the text I had written was gone and I had to start typing the pm all over again.  Very frustrating!

Yes, it is a tad slow. The runup to Christmas puts a lot of providers under a bit of strain! We are probably losing out to a professional site that is sucking up our bandwidth!!!

Broadband went down last night, and I really missed checking any replies on this site.  Just found the number to ring, and looking forward (ha, ha) to long conversations that I can't understand what they are talking about, and it has come back for now.  Agree site a bit slow.  What with our exercise TV (ie keep losing picture so have to get up every 5 mins to bang it), did miss internet last night.  All blue lights on today, so hopefully OK now.

I've had a tweak today which has improved things (a lot), but there still seems to be an issue.

I'll continue investigating ...

Thanks for your patience.

Funny, mine is running really well. Pages loading really fast, and I'm working on a hotspot, waiting for BT to connect Broadband.

Not like my Mac to be so efficient :computer:

I'm having probelms with Ravelry last 24hrs. Keep getting bad server response messages when trying to get to loads of pages :hmh:

Is anyone else still having trouble with the site being sloooooow again or is it me.  It seems to take ages to do anything today.
