    It's certainly NOT OK now! Currently there are 2245 users and the new platform clearly can't cope.

    It has never been as good since the move to the new servers.

    Martin says that it's not a budget issue, so why has the problem not been resolved after all of this time?

    I had this problem last night too. For me, it's still doing it this morning as well.

    Its just taken 30 seconds to log me in.
    Last night the site would not load at all, is it a coincidence that the news letter had been sent out just before this happened?

    I'm sure the problem is being worked on, hope it gets fixed soon.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Taking forever to get on, but at least I can, as last night it wouldn't let me on at all.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .
