Hello To A RootsChat Members,

Yes, we have also been having the same 'Go-Slow-Problem' this afternoon and evening.  It definitely appears to be mainly with 'RootsChat'.

Everything is alright with 'Firefox', 'Google',
'Scotlands People', 'Free BMDs', even 'Ebay' is lightning fast.

I had thought it might have been our 'provider' out here in Australia, trying to convince us to convert to 'Broadband', by overloading the 'Dial-Up' system.  We are just waiting for them to lower their charges, otherwise we might have to go elsewhere. 

Would you believe it - while typing this message, just got logged off, the joys of 'Dial-Up'!

Well, lets hope 'RootsChat', gets a recharge and we are back to normal soon.

Time to sleep now, for us.
Back again, soon.

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

I'm wadding too!!

Ancestry has been a problem for me for a while - it doesn't like Firefox but will work fine with IE!

Somebody put another 50p in the meter and get Rootschat running at full speed again!

Some other sites are a bit slower, some just seem slower, but are in fact OK,
so I would say that is just the usual random fluctuations.

It looks like it's mainly RootsChat that is having problems  :(

Sorry Guys, we'll all just have to be patient, until Trystan can sort it out.

Shopping, dusting, ironing, housework, reading, sorting family history files, .........
I sure we'll think of some alternative things to bridge the gap  ;D
