    I have found the forum to be much slower in loading pages and general lag especially when hovering over topics for a summary, and more often when posting i just get a general error page of could not contact. So i have to ctrl+a ctrl+c all posts before submitting, already lost 2 posts today.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    Will also agree about slowness of pages loading.
    Just "Thanked" a post and it took forever, as did returning to it once the "Thanks" had registered.
    Sorry to be so grumbling, but I'm sure these are things you need to know :)!

    Usually I can log in via the tool bar at the top of the page, but now I've had to click reply and log in from there.
    Strange:huh:

    Replies to posts are always welcome, if they are done in the correct manner. If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you

    One of our servers was running slow but is behaving itself now. Generally speaking speed should have improved - though you may still hit a slow page on occasion.

    Not just new posts I'm afraid, flower.
    Words like Lucozade got absolutely no results. I mean on the white background page too, not the little green forum message box which has been known to lie about "No results" on occasion!

    I can't log in through my normal route ~ it keeps saying wrong username and password. I've requested a new password, and clicked the remember me button but it won't let me in :mad:

    I've only managed to go in through IE which is not ideal for me most of the time. I hope this is only a glitch and that I can log in like before.


    Edit:
    Seems to be ok now, just loaded the page and I was already logged in ~ strange! (but I'm happy now :))
