Forum go slow?

Is anyone else here experiencing very slow forum loading at all, also getting some other glitches?
Just want to elliminate this posibility before I phone and ask my ISP to bend over and take it like a canoeist lost in a very remote back waters.

I don’t think our sponsors have installed the latest version of the software and wonder whether that would have any effect on the efficiency. :confused:

Must be something at your end, mate.

Could be, I’m wondering if my ISP just disagrees with the forum host, it is awful loading time, and often times out, but only with this forum it seems.
Smart phone works ok, but wasn’t sure it that used a different system – like magic or something

Been using here over the past few days and haven’t noticed anything. Last time it was a router with Key’s ISP iirc

The internet is so slow where I am, it would be faster to recruit a Pygmy to run a data card around. :dev2: So if the forum is slow I wouldn’t notice. 😉

No problem here.

The forum loads up smartly on desktop PC, laptop and smartphone.

Must be something at your end, mate.

I’m getting this again today, as per my post #6.
Other forums and pages loading fine in comparison.

I get the same problem regularly with these forums, but never experience problems with other websites while it’s happening, so it’s obviously a server issue – no idea if intended/planned or not. Doesn’t bother me too much though, I just come back later.

I’m browsing via 3G on a Windows 7.5 phone, and the speed is just fine.

My provider is Orange so that wouldn’t have effected me, forum seems fine again now, the odd thing is that when I have the problems it’s the forum that really seems to struggle to load.
I will get on to my ISP.

There was a huge BT outage yesterday. I have no idea if this is relevant or not

I had database error messages all of Sunday.

Never really get a go slow though always round about the same speed.
