[mshrmh]

Thanks Berlin Bob for the update - I've been following your advice already - amazing what you can do while waiting for a page to load!

Best genealogy boards bar none, being let down by technology. This has being going on for some weeks now, but this afternoon is by far the worst. 5 minutes waiting after clicking on the thread on Recent Posts.

Steam is beginning to come out of my ears!

The moving finger writes!,  but not the spacetime continuum,  which is blocked by worms and wiggles!  Deo Gratia for the written word!!

RootsChat is very slow for me too   yet  Google, Ancestry etc are fine.
Does anyone know what is happening?

me me me me big problems  driving me mad but I have done the ironing, chased my mother all over Berlin airport with help of my friend in Germany, long story, short version, her brother left her booking reference at his home and she could not check in without it!!  Don't think the people in Berlin could understand my Northern accent    anyway she is checked in, so one problemm solved now to Roots

It's slow for me too, today.

I have always valued Bob's advice - up to now. Housework indeed!    I go here to avoid the chores!

Oh well it wasn't just me and it meant I actually did work today at work, instead of peeking into Rootschat!!!!!

About the slowest I have ever seen it, it's as bad as trying to get on late evening in the USA while maintenance is running.   I guess it's the price we have to pay for RC being so popular - and free - let's not forget it's free

Maybe if a couple of thousand of us were to donate a pound each they could do the necessary upgrades to the system.   I wouldn't object to the front page having a link where you could make donations using Paypal or similar.   Any thoughts?   

I think paying for RC would cause a lot of people to not use it, which would be a shame, but I think there are enough regulars who could afford to donate a small sum if it was suggested to help maintain it.
