Anyone else finding the main site to be painstakingly slow? In any web browser I've tried (and on different computers) it just seems to stop everything working/slows them down to the point of unbearable-ness.
Say it's not just me... It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm unkind

I can't say I've noticed anything.

For a good few weeks now. Thought initially it might have been because my computer overall was playing up, but is working fine now, just the site taking a while. Main page is the worst- others still take a while, but not quite so bad.
Wonder if its anything to do with vista? It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm unkind

on my home laptop and pc at work (which is generally super fast) the home page is slow........when i scroll down it all gets a bit messy. the messageboard itself takes a while to load sometimes too.

It's slow because the front page is heavy on images that have hardly been compressed. When you load the main page:
Documents (3 files) 31 KB Images (58 files) 1290 KB Objects (1 file) 817 bytes Scripts (5 files) 158 KB Style Sheets (3 files) 3 KB Total 1482 KB That's like downloading a 90 second mp3 file every time you re-load the front page. The images could very easily be compressed without quality loss, cutting the page down by well over half that size. -------------

I just dumped all date from my browser and reloaded. It took 9.5 seconds to reload the lot. It's a little image heavy given the general design of the site and some of the current content but if the messageboard is giving you trouble too, then best look at your external data connection because graphics aside, the board is hosted elsewhere. If there's a general consensus that it's slow, then Ill have a look at slimming it down. There's probably some room for that.

What Hank said, only messageboard generally works fine. Takes a while to load if I go to it from the link on the main page, but have it bookmarked cause can't be arsed with everything else being frozen/slowed down cause of the main page. Really irritating and off-putting...

Oh I don't like change... I'm getting used to the MB format though as it's pretty much the same. Don't like in-line advertising though. Why is
Mangoes trying to sell me dance shoes!?!!

Yeah, I'm not seeing that here but I suspected it might be there. I'll have that removed next week.

Oh Elly you're all about the Poker today! They are a bit annoying. Also annoying is the messageboard randomly not loading? Have been getting a 'cannot
connect to the site' message loads yesterday (hours at a time) and all this morning too. Nothing else isn't working, just this site. Is it only me that
this is happening to?
The main site is working better for me though. Still a bit juddery, but seeing as it actually works its definately an improvement.

The board had maintenance yesterday for long periods. I trailed it last week but but you might not have seen that.

I saw taht last week aye. No wee sign was coming up though so I presumed it was vista being shit again- it has a habit of doing that.

I initially wondered whether it was my 'pooter being shite - but then I saw that other sites were all fine...
