Is anyone else experiencing unusually long times in connecting from the main page to the threads? It takes ages.

Yes,I agree,it's pretty snail-like-just did a quick check before posting,there are 4394 users on line-950 members and 3444 guests.Could(orshould) it have anything to do with this?

Hi folks,

We're doing some upgrades and modifications in the background this weekend so there may be the odd disruption and periods of slowness. Hopefully they won't be so noticeable and in the end, we also hope to gain a little more speed out of the system.

Thanks for your patience,

Webby

Hi Webbie - you may/may not want to know all sorts of weird stuff has been happening on the boards this afternoon and they are still really slow.

I thought I made a couple of posts but they don't seem to be appearing, IE is really playing tricks on my eyes - must be a glitch so I switched over to firefox and it's a lot faster and reliable though unfortunately not my favorite so looking to switching back to IE - thanks for the update.

Yeah I get an error message fairly frequently today - my tip is to copy any post you type, so if you lose it you can start again and just paste it in.

Just had to do that right now for THIS post... :rolleyes:

Wow Quasar, those rosettes are seriously impressive! First time I've seen anyone with them.
