A bit of feedback from the mods/admin would be nice :)

To load this thread took 5 mins

Thanks to others who are also having similar problems

It's so painful, I have to sit on a soft cushion after managing to read 3 posts.

There was GJ, at 11:24am today to be exact, but I guess they would prefer to spend their time getting it fixed.

If it makes you feel better, it affects the Admins and Mods just the same and it took me ages to post this on my mobile broadband.:roll:

Neil has promised that we will all get an extra free month use of the forum to make up for any inconvenience.

at the moment watching paint dry is better...lol

Same as the others have said.Not sure if this helps, when the actual forum loads there appears to be a lengthy holdup while the forum sponsor adverts load.

I really enjoy and appreciate this forum and check it daily, but I must say it is one of the slower websites and forums I use - and the last couple of days it is basically unusable.I'm not sure where it is hosted (looks to be through a local company Cyanide who claim fast local servers...) or what type of hosting this site runs on, and I know it costs money that isn't coming directly from my pockets but a general boost to the bandwidth for the site would be great :)

Pretty much back to normal for me this time so maybe problem solved. Let's hope so for everyone's sake.
