    Thanks, I didn't realize that. It's only this site I get trouble with, everything else is normal. I'll remember that for the future :smile:

      It could be - depends on how fast the connection is to each. Phones do tend to be a smidge slower, especially older ones

        My connection seems to be back up to its usual slowness :thumbsup: so hope it stays that way.

        Hopefully Cloudflare have sorted out their problem. :fingers crossed:

                I've had problems with slow page refresh and also having to 'Post Reply' several times before it's accepted. It's been like that for a few days. I actually gave up waiting earlier this morning as it was taking so long to open the box to post a reply! No problem with any other site. The same problem has happened a couple of times in the past too.

                  Hopefully everyone will have seen the notice informing of maintenance being done.

                  This maintenance is proving to be a lot more challenging that was first anticipated, not least as it relies on multiple server call-backs as part of the process. The net result is that the first process (of many) crashed no less than 19 times before finally being coaxed to the end.

                  I am still utterly convinced that the problem sits outside GC, however it also pays to run this maintenance to be sure.

                  It is likely to take the rest of this evening at least as I plod through this, so please bear with me if you get delays and timeouts... I fully appreciate it is frustrating, but sadly it can be unavoidable at times.

                    It's been very slow on my phone for some time. I cleared cache and history, only made a minor difference. Much better today than It's been for a while.

                              It is our pleasure @On the Levels :)

                              Sadly, on this occasion, I am not convinced we're out of the woods as I am quite firmly of the mind that the issue sits outside our control.. but time will tell.
