      Yes the site is quite slow, but I remember Dial-up, now that was really slow. Have patience folks.

          I found it has slowed a little, particularly when selecting a rating. It's probably just a function of so many online at the same time. Or some other little maintenance issue the admin are working on. I don't find it inconvenient. Nobody died because I didn't get a rating up there in milliseconds! ;)

            I used to change the page and then go and make a cup of tea, usually it would have just about loaded by the time I got back.

            I thought it was amazing.:biggrin:

                Very first thread I've visited to see how things are, having spent six hours working on it yesterday...

                Sorry folks, that exhausts any tools that we've got access to as Admin - this one lies deeper, so it is now over to @Webmaster

                    Nothing to apologise for! Better to know than not, for sure.

                      It could be worse. You could be going up in Artemis II and it all goes wrong and you have to sort it out.

                        That's faster than you typically get from a human.

                          Ground control to Major Tom @Fat Controller , you’re doing a grand job spending all that time on working on the site. I’m sure everyone is very grateful for your efforts and when things are out of our control, we have to look to Major Tom to take our protein pills and put our helmets on.:biggrin::biggrin:

                            Thank you, but sadly it isn't such a grand job as I've not made a jot of difference. We've escalated to @Webmaster and await his response.
