Query: accessing the forum

[french frank]

Has anyone been finding the forum very slow lately? (The software, I mean, not the contributions ...)

I've had one enquiry about this but I certainly have had no problems. We were moved on to a much bigger server several months back because our hosts thought there might be a future danger of overload from the amount of traffic we get (), but it went very smoothly and I know of no problems being reported since.

Morning ff, my computer and the forum are VERY slow but I'm not experienced enough on line to know what the trouble is.


Windows is perpetually 'not responding' but I don't think I can blame the forum for that

Otherwise, I mostly use Emails and they seem quicker than the forum.

I certainly hope we are not in any way to blame for that, saly

The problem would be if you had no difficulty in loading pages on other sites and the forum was always markedly slower.

Normal service here, I'd say.

All present & correct here thanks

No problem.
Microsoft have just done a shed load of 'updates'. Could that have affected some PC mixes?

I think in this case it was a local connection problem which appeared to have been fixed, the forum site excepted.

Looks like it's, 'Not us, guv.'

Yes, my screen froze three times today and, as always, I thought I had done something wrong. No, it was pesky updates, more updates, then configurations. This never improves anything, as far as I can see and the MBs go haywire

I had problems, particularly with posting, from an iPad. They may have been reduced/eliminated now I've flushed my Safari cache.

Actually not all the problems have gone, but could be a local wireless or router problem. We have had severe broadband problems, but I thought TalkTalk had finally managed to get them fixed- they actually hit the buttons and called in the BT OpenReach engineers to look at the phone line, and also the broadband. Assuming those problems are now fixed, some problems still remain.

For anyone using Windows, and perhaps with a pedagogic interest in teaching and or mathermatics you could watch this - http://youtu.be/hC0MV843_Ng It's a bit of a slow burn, and maybe not terribly interesting. You can save time by watching the first few minutes - say up to 3, then the last minute, with the punch line!

I'm experiencing no problems, either at work, at home, on on my ipad.

Dave, I'm using Atomic Web on my ipad, and I find it excellent. You may wish to try it.

Nor here. Very quick indeed on my phone.
