The forum has been running incredibly slowly for me for the last few days; it is patchy but sometimes freezes completely halfway through loading a thread while advising ‘waiting for ____://forum…’
No other site I use seems to be affected; anybody else noticed any change? :confused:

All I can suggest is that your run a tracert like this and then forward it to BT.

Note the age it is taking to get through Ilford 😮

Is there anything that can be done or is this normal service from BT now? 😡
A couple of weeks prior to this specific problem with the forum my PC started to sporadically disconnect itself from BT and I sometimes had difficulty reconnecting; it was very similar to problems I experienced a few years ago with BT which I put down to there being too many people in the village wanting to use BT broadband at the same time (always worst at peak-times).
Other sites, some with lots of photographs, seem to work (if a tiny bit ‘clunky’) but this forum is unusable; it has taken me twenty minutes to get to the point where I can post this!
They are working on it! hope to have it sorted by next Thursday they say. 😮

I finally gave up with BT last year and have been with Sky since, without any serious problems.

I’m on BT. What geographical area has the problem?
It is any BT account that passes through a couple of jumps in Essex.
I have the issue and it is simply dreadful.

Most people facing problems, seem to be on a BT connection and in a specified geographical area.
The forum and Key Publishing servers are working absolutely fine.

The ‘search’ function is broken at the moment, and will be fixed in the near future.
The forum running slow has already been notified to the WebMaster and he will be looking into the problem. Do note that the forum seems to be working fine for most people, try clearing your browser cache and see if that helps.
