Nick Trollope Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Or is the forum being very slow (again).For example, to get this new post screen took about 3 minutes, with about 2 minutes of blank white screen, after about 1 minute of the previous screen and a very slowly moving progress bar.& no, it is not my computer - every other site I try works as expected.Time for a tidy-up or have ghosts in the machine (you know, Miki and cohorts..)

cooperlola Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 This and another forum I'm on have been really slow recently, plus a couple of sites, in particular Photobucket, have been awful. I think the entire internet's been under strain in the last couple of weeks. Are the spammers having a field day at the moment, or are there an inordinate number of those awful round-robin e-mails going about the place?

Does he have a bunker which he retires to when things get bad? Just a suggestion and not meant in a horrible way at all. Can't he log onto the internet from time to time when he's "out of the office" and keep an eye on these things? I think I would if I ran a site like this.

Nick Trollope Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 It was back to normal within 2 mins of original post. My subsequent visit to the site, to check this thread took 2 mins to access.....Can't concur with the generally slow internet comment. I downloaded all of Ubuntu (700+ Mb) in rapid time this morning.

Clair Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I am not technically minded, but theer seems to be a cycle to this problem (slow, normal, slow again...) and I am wondering if it could eb linked to one of the servers used to back up the forum...

powerdesal Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Sorry Steve, perhaps my tongue in cheek, cynical, sarcastic comment was mis-interpreted. I didn't mean the ads on the net. I was referring to another thread - since blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
