Is Anyone else having Problems with Rootschat..Today
« on: Wednesday 17 October 07 12:22 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Is it just me...I got kicked off at midnight and could not get back on so I gave up and give Joe a battering at chess  ;D

After trying for about 1/2 an hour at 11.00am I managed to get on then it took another 20mins to post a reply.

Im still struggling now..it takes an age to open anything or go back or turn a page...is there more behind the scenes work going on  8) ???

Im trying to post this at 12.15..

Hi Jane,
Yes, I'm having to wait a very long time for each page to load up as well.
Its not just this site though, - I'm trying to look at another, unrelated forum & can't get onto it at all.
Somethings happening out there in www. land??
Cheers

Yes everything is really slow on Rootschat today but I am also having problems on other web pages as well plus one site I am trying to connect to has vanished

Did think it was my computer - have re-booted 3 times

Another one who has been "wading through treacle" today - only here, not had problems elsewhere. I am just about to log off & hope the treacle has gone when I return!

My browser has a timer, so I know this thread took 169 seconds to load :o After clicking reply, I waited 79 seconds for the reply box.  Clicking links in topic notification emails also results in a long wait.
I've also found FreeBMD extremely slow for the last few days, & Ancestry keeps telling me the site is too busy.

I'm going to make a cup of tea while I wait for this reply to post ;D
