very very sluggish

pavlovs_dog

the site is just about usable at the mo, but these constant problems are really starting to get annoying.

even my grandmother runs quicker than this place


however much you're paying the new server people, i think you're being conned!

But it is still painfully slow where I am!!!

I don't suppose it helps the bandwidth problems with multiple copies of the moneytips email being sent out today. I received the email twice. Once at 12.16pm and once at 4.18pm.

These slowdowns can only hurt the site in its quest for new members. Regular users at least know that there have been problems, and know that they are eventually sorted out. If I went to look at a site, and it was down (as has happened in the past), the chances of me going back to the site are not that great. It's a very bad first impression to give to a new user.

When this site is on a big slowdown (like last night and today), I've got used to either going away to other forums, or opening multiple sites and reading elsewhere while I wait for pages to open.

If it gets much worse than this, I might have to talk to the missus!!!

I got two as well but the trouble is if delivery is interrupted they need to start again......................it is getting to be a right royal pain though,ever since the new servers it's just one problem after the other :rolleyes:

still ,I expect it's as frustrating for the team as it is for us

Picking up some speed of late..well in the last 10mins or so.

I gave up trying to use the site last night between 1700 and 2100 amd tonight is the same....just not worth waiting an age for each page to load.

I like others on here never had a problem with the old server

I assure you the old servers were tosh beyond belief, whilst there are problems at the moment with the new servers we do have to remember that the switch over wasnt to long ago so I suppose its fair to say that there will be teething problems.. But the failure last night was due to the hosting company and not MSE... so its frustrating for all concerned..


Think Good Vibes and it will be back to full speed.. Negative vibes are a no no.

The speeds here are still stop-start. Very slow on the whole though.

Could you ask ask whoever has been chosen at your servers to hold the two broken ends of cable together to keep still please.

Terribly slow for me yesterday and today. Just like having dial up even though we have got broadband.

Here he is..
