No idea if this is just me or if others have experienced the same, but the site seems to have been very very slow at times over that past couple of days, to the point it's been quicker to exit the site and log back in sometimes, rather than waiting for page (New posts for instance) to load, now my internet is not the fastest at 5mbps, but this evening especially the site is taking forever and a day to load, but other sites i visit such as YouTube, Vimeo and some other forums are loading up as fast as they ever do, it just seems to be here where the slow speed is evident?.

Ive done the usual cleared the cache, etc etc etc ad infinitum, but it's made no difference.

What browser are you using Mark... it might be related to that.

I'm using Windows 7 with Google Chrome and as I said no probs at all

Sorry to say Mark that I have been off for a couple of days and modding a fair bit with no change to my usual speed - Mind you that doesn't say much when 100kbps is a good day for me.

I dream of 5mbps :)

Cheers

Mark, use Chrome or Opera, Firefox is very 'bloated' these days. You've done 'disk cleanup' and a defrag recently?

I've upgraded my FTTC recently and now get around 76mb/s down so everything is pretty quick for me:cool:
