    I wonder if it works better under the new look? Perhaps I will try it. I am finding it is so slow as to be almost un-useable under the 'old look' and I keep getting an error message.

    What is the actual problem with the site, is it a technical fault? Are they going to fix it soon?

    This forum's practically unusable today. I even got a 'Your request has timed out' when I clicked on 'Thanks'!

    I have to remember to press ctrl-A, ctrl-C at intervals while posting to ensure I don't lose the lot.

    I'll come back another day. If I can be bothered.

    I clicked on a post and got

    "This webpage has a redirect loop"

    That's a new one and made me think 'no xxx Sherlock'
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    Now I got this when attempting to thank someone:

    footyguy, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
    1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

    Since you are "aware of the issues", could you spell out to us what you see them as being?
    And what your "tech team" are doing.
    (I take it that "on the case" meant that they are trying to rectify the problem, rather than it being the cause i.e. they were tweaking the live system again.)

    TIA.

    i have been experiencing the issues all mentioned above - mostly the time out issue though. I have been clicking back on my browser and then posting again. Just out of interest - what browser are people using? and are you on the old/new forum layout?

    I am using chrome - old layout.

    I'm still getting the timed out page every time I try to post, and sometimes to thank.

    I'm on the old green format.
    I use Safari, and I only have an iPad, no desktop.

    It seems to be affecting all systems.

    Does it happen if you log out and back in again?
    And if so, does it happen immediately?
