It seems to have got back to normal for me now, but it was very slow earlier.

I've been finding the site slow or difficult to load for the past few days. I recon Tony is doing some deep and complicated computery stuff. Though we're bound to benefit from it in the near future.

Thanx Tony

HI Guys, sorry about that, it should all be fine now

 

[-Switch-]

Just letting Tony etc know that the site was doing it again today about the time I posted this and for 45 minutes or so before hand
Thought I'd let you know in case it's not something you're doing and there's a problem. (It's taken about 25 minutes to access this thread and post this )

Quite a problem for the last half hour or so....back later

 

[andyn]

site has been a pain all evening Page cannot be displayed a lot of the time, or just very very slow.

I actually had to get out my chair and resort to practising some skills - oh the shame of it

 

[The Joker]

Its that slow it makes my old dial up seem fast!!!! :sulkoff:

There seems to be a huge amount of packet loss along the line (broken router somewhere?), causing everything to be excruciatingly slow. Tony, have you talked to the hosting company?

 

[moduser]

Still running slow this morning

[jdlenton]

[moduser]

[andyn]

Phew I can settle back into my armchair now.

 

[tanto]

Good Job!

It would seem that someone has been having a go with D.O.S attacks (|Denial of service) on the site, this lead to the slow down.

All I can think of is that some person/s have an issue that they're not happy to sit and chat about but would rather try the underhand route

We're sorting it out and we've informed the authorities so all should be well.

On a seperate note, the upgrade to the forum that has been talked about for a while will take place in the near future which will lead to some down time so don't panic!

I can't seem to be able to send pm or private emails. guess it's related. just an error message about permissions.

Will probably regret asking this [ over my head ] but whats "packet loss".
Ian.
