I often find getting on this site slow, uploading blogs takes ages, and changing between subject headings too. I thought for a long time it was my broadband provider, but have changed to BT and whilst all my other site access has improved, BLF remains slow and sluggish.

I have the same experience with the site.

Yes it is slow, I just give up sometimes. A pain when you have typed out a long post and it just disappears ...Grrr

A lot of other posts make me laugh so it is worth coming back.

It happens to us all - but I've found that I can usually hit the 'back' button and my intended message is still there, so I just click submit again. Sometimes that causes the same post to appear twice though.

What's the 'back' button? I use Google Chrome and it's an arrow in the top left corner. I can also right-click on the page and the little menu that pops up has 'back' at the top of the list.

If the site is really slow I cut and paste my message to notepad or something and save it, then post it a bit later.

For those interested in the techie side of things - the site is hosted by Virtual Internet (vi.net) of Fulham. The site IP address is 212.78.89.126 and a traceroute of healthunlocked.com reveals some bottlenecks, causing the trace to abort with timeouts. I gave up after 27 steps. Just what the problem is I do not know, perhaps the site owners can raise a ticket to get it looked at ?

I have some domain names of my own and have those hosted in Telehouse, London, the trace to those is quite fast, and only 12 steps. It's here that's s-l-o-w...

Having great fun this morning - not. So slow it's throwing up 404 (missing page) errors - in error.

So s-l-o-w trying to do anything at present. Has the site got a chest infection perhaps ?

If you use Firefox you can get an Add on called Lazarus. This will save what you have typed so you wont have to retype it.

Very slow. If it's taking too long to submit a post I copy it quickly so I can paste it if nec.
