they have been getting slower over the last few days, and tonight it's getting quite painfully slow - all other websites seem fine....

example is 30 seconds to make a post. other forums i post on respond much quicker although i suspect they are not as busy!

    I've had this problem for a good few weeks now and only on this site.

    I find it takes ages to post as well so I press the post button and once it shows the page as half loaded I just go back to the thread to check it has been submitted properly and it is always there! It does eventually get there if I leave it but takes a good couple of mins.

    Searching is ridiculously slow as well! I give up more often than not!

    And it takes ages to load someones profile too!

    I'm glad it isn't just me. I was going to contact my ISP about it but it is literally just this site that we have the problem with.

    I think it's just the massive load on the server with so many boards and posters.

    Very slow for me too, around 30 seconds for each thread to load fully. Have used IE and Firefox with same result. 7788 users online at time of posting. Slowest the site has been this week by quite some way.

    I had thought it was just me, but this site is extremely slow for me aswell. Every other site is fine.
    Finally, I can see you crystal clear
