    I'm about to give up for the day, I have several screens open now as the delay is so long in pages loading it is almost dead for me.

    It's absurd that there's no update on this problem from anyone at MSE Towers or the BG's for this Board. If it's affecting the ability of BG's like Soolin to do what they do, then the site becomes far less effective.

    Hi folks

    I didnt know that we were struggling this badly. Its been fine for me and I thought the problems we had were sorted. I've already agreed to more servers and they should be coming online soon. I will speak to the team.

    Sorry

    Thanks Martin - if there are 4 pages of posts on this part of the board you can guarantee the problem is fairly widespread.

    Thank you Martin, I have tried blaming my dreadful Virgin broadband but when it is only one site affected then I fear I may be being unfair to Virgin.

    That's what I hate about slow internet, I am always blaming Virgin/NTL Broadband, but it can be the website, very annoying as you can never be certain.

    Had numerous problems over years with Virgin/NTL, I am sure it was quicker response few years ago & is getting slower/more overloaded, so I always assume problem is with my broadband.
