Slow

Has anyone else noticed a slowing down posting over the last few days, sometimes the the thread times out, maybe i'm waking the boards up too early

 

I've noticed it too Eric. I was blaming my own ISP which is getting worse after being taken over by the dreadful Tiscali but it could just be more members putting a strain on the server or the fact that all ISPs are getting worse in their provision of service. Rip off Britain strikes again?

 

I've noticed it too, and sometimes there are really only a couple of us on board at the time.

Since it is just here on GC, perhaps shiney's theory is correct about the chicken link at the bottom. Thank goodness the cackling has gone - that was worse than awful !

 

I am having it to,its gone so slow i have a few times had double posts,its been more in the evenings do you think its the volume of people on the net that slows the performance

 

thats been happening to me, drives me crazy, iv'e been shutting down for 10 minutes, and that doesn't help either :D freezing too, now that really does'e get to me

 

I think the chickens have multiplied so much and are now bogging us down

:D :D

 

Yup,same here. I started GC this morning and it took so long to get going, I gave up and got on with some gardening :D

 

Last night was terrible...very slow!
Tonight things seem to be flying along..

 

It's been dreadfully slow from here ... forever for a page to turn ... but a bit better tonight although I wouldn't say flying along! I'm changing the batteries on my mouse every few days and I'm hardly using it. :confused:

Now photobucket is doing site maintenance and I've got my pictures from today loaded in there but now can't get them out ... maybe later.

 

I have just got a new computer with a firewall, and although I have noticed the slowness I wasn't sure if it was my computer. However I have also, just today, been losing some pictures and avatars. But its not always the same ones - could this be part of the same problem? I think the picture loading is timing-out sometimes.

 

Evening, PeterS.

Photobucket is doing maintenance and their link is going up and down so, if you use them, this is the problem.

Whilst speaking, the Salvias are coming along a treat considering mine have to survive without constant temps and the one from the hills (S guarantina?) is shooting all over the place, so ...

 

I think things are better tonight, but anyway the webmaster has it all in hand should the problem continue.
