Is anyone else finding this site painfully slow!?!

[Oldgirl]

Bit like my running speed really I have a wonderful new fast laptop that chugs along whenever I'm in here the past 2 days, sometimes can't even get logged in.

Oh yes, it is particularly bad today. I thought it was my work PC playing up again but I see you are having problems too Oldgirl. And I have so many blogs to catch up with too. Grrrr. Let's see how long this comment takes to appear ....

I've had lots of problems getting the site to load messages today except, ironically, getting in to read this one!

It was really bad earlier today, wouldn't load anything - appears to have gone back to its usual fairly slow speed now!

I've sent John in Admin a message re probem with slow site, it did however take 3 minutes to update it so if as it seems its gone by snail mail don't hold your breath for any speedy solutions

Hi,

Yep, and I've posted long blogs (what me? long blogs??? I know, I do go on sometimes!) and they have disappeared into the e-ether only to have the site say it's down/unavailable; so frustrating! I've taken to blogging to a word doc and pasting it over; at least I've got it all saved then! Why is is so sloooowwww?????

My little bit of IT knowledge ( can be a dangerous thing I know) but there could be one of a few reasons. a) Site computer is just too slow to cope with the number of members it now has! b) Members staying logged on even when not using it which could also slow things down. c) Its too knackered trying to keep up with us speed merchants! d) It hasn't worked on the Stamina podcast yet Oh heck I don't really know but it is frustrating, cos I can't run just now so I try and do the next best thing and thats come on here.

Yep, yesterday and today very bad and keep getting the "oops" message too! Emailed support yesterday morning and they just said its always slower in the morning....!! Very frustrating and annoying.

[AnnieW55]

Slow for me too and over the last couple of days I've had 'pages not found but we're on to it' message

[DeliaItaly Graduate]

Absolutely. It's doing all sorts of odd things, like blogs disappearing and then returning, not loading etc.etc.

[arablue]

incredibly slow.........! I was beginning to wonder whether my laptop was feeling poorly.

I am sad that this site is so slow, as I love it here. The support and advice is fab! Hope it improves soon.

[underlay]

[laj1987 Graduate]

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow. Please fix it admin

I like to read the blogs on my lunch but today got no further than a blank screen

[SuspendedInGaffa Graduate]

I'm glad it's not just me then! At first I thought my old laptop was about to give up on me. Very slow at the moment.

[Ginthestring Graduate]
