Rootschat very slow today
« on: Tuesday 09 August 11 17:59 BST (UK) »
Are other members finding the site is running slowly today? It is taking me up to 20seconds to load a page.

Mine is abnormally slow. I updated AVG last night and installed the upgrade today. I wondered if that might be the cause, but other sites seem OK. Is it just your avatar or all of them you turned off?

plural - all of 'em; especially the animated ones which I find distracting  :P

I guess it also depends on your ISP, his equipment and anything else in the route misbehaving ...

Not just RootsChat.

In the light of the news from Britain and from the plumetting stock exchanges it's possible that more people than usual are staying glued to the news channels.

Makes sense Bob, thanks for that! I'll make some space on Rootschat, and watch the news instead!

I'm finding that surfing is very slow and also our local newspaper website crashed this afternoon.
