We know! Why the site's slow every hour
Finally we've tracked down the cause of the sloth! Basically there's a database backup being done every hour - so if the site crashed we could recover data. We're now exploring options of how to do it so the site doesn't go slow, should be sorted soon :)

Megabytes UP-loaded

So why dont they up it to 10 or 20 stickies to be allowed but with only the most important top 4 showing, and the rest are…

Knighthood for Martin Lewis (Yes)
Do we lose money if we save only £13 a month through a remortgage, that cost a lot more in fees in the long run? I have just looked into changing my mortgage into a buy to let, and I can't believe how much money I am losing in real terms, for though the cost of the mortgage is less over the fixed period, the cost mof…

Painfully, painfully slow this morning????
Not my connection, every other site is fine. It's like the 'on the hour backup' slowdown is happening all the time. :confused: Can't stand it. Going to clean my house instead. (There, that should tell you how frustrating the slowness is!:p )

Something similar to www.swapthing.com
I would like this site to provide a new service to the users http://www.swapthing.com/ This is an American website where users can swap their goods with other members. There is no such website in the UK, so it will be a good oportunity for new people to sign up for these free services and also take advantage of the…

log-in times out - article lost
I'm totally scunnered. It has happened to me several times now that I typed a long article and lost it: To create a new thread, I log in and tick "remember me". Regardless, when you take a long time to write (might take 1/2 hour to write something involved), by the time you submit the log-in has timed out. You then get…
