ya'll have prob noticed i havent been here much in the last few weeks..

every time i come here i get the following problems, and this happens at home and at work.. so i'm sure it cant be just me.

its taken me 15 mins just to post this message.


1) about a third of the time navigating around the site i get "site not foudn" errors instantly.  this is most annoying when trying to post a message, which then gets lost.

2) sometimes it never finishes loading the page and sits there forever.

3) sometimes it part loads a page and just shows rubbish beyond a certain point.

Sorry overseer matey, I've not had any problems for a while now and I must sit on here all day. Strange that you get the same probs at home and at work though  :(

I sometimes find the forum a bit slow (even though I'm on 1meg broadband) but I just put that down to the fact there are usually quite a few users logged on.
I get the occasional site not found error, now if I've just typed a really long message I highlight the text and copy it just in case it gets lost. Occasionally I also get a timeout message. In general though it tends to work pretty well for me.

its definitely improved as of late, obviously slows WAY down at peak times, 1pm - 2pm , and 5pm - 7:30pm ish. Even on 2mb adsl, but loads eventually.

I was about to say it has been ok, but I still get the occasional message, as seen above.
