    Has this Forum caught the BBC site's cold?

    Seems very slow responding this morning.

    They used to say that New York tended to go mad in August because that was when all the analysts took their vacation.

    Perhaps we're now in the Techie holiday period?

      Seems all right to me ...
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        The only site taking an age to load/update here.

            Does that mean that other sites are also taking a age to load/update where you are?

              Judge by the speed with which I respond here!

                You must be running on Windows.

                  Wherever the bottleneck was, it now appears to have cleared. It was taking up to a minute or so to load/update until a few minutes ago.

                    No problems accessing the forum on my Windows 7 laptop this morning ....... but deathly slow on the infernal MBP with retina and all the trimmings which my employer requires me to use ..... as per usual !

                      Have those who found it slow today cleared out browser caches and other similar measures?

                      I have found this site very slow on occasions, but sometimes a few user end fixes speed things up quite a lot.

                      Interesting comment about the MBP - I thought most employers would rather force their employees to use Windows. I use my own high end retina display MBP which I even bought myself from choice.

                        Been perfectly ok here - and I'm on Windows. However, yesterday seemed a little slower than usual.

                              Thorough clean out at the start of day, as usual. The response time of the Forum has been up and down all day here, from a couple of second to a couple of minutes, Other sites have not been similarly affected.
