Terrytraveller Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi Carol, It's the forum, its a bit slow sometimes tonight, if you have IE7, right click and open message in new tab, if IE6 right click and open in new window. You can open as many tabs or windows as you like, while keeping the main forum index open. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think they've just been and bought another of those cheap Woolworths servers like they had before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Jones Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've not had any trouble getting back to the main page for the particular forum I'm looking at (either via link of via "BACK" button), but mine IS taking forever to open individual threads in the first place. Probably just me being different again. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 It's taking an age - like being on dial-up again instead of broadband! Perhaps they ought to feed the hamster a bit more often!!! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wints Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think it's the bikers (me & a few others), and the red wine (wife has just opened the bar ! ) that's slowed it down. I've just had a game of squash and got beat by a 65 year old, and I'm only 53. The shame. regards Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chapman Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Just noticed this thread. Was slow on IE7 but no problem using Firefox. Several forums have reported problems from users after having upgraded to IE7. Regards, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest starspirit Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 No problems on Firefox although some threads are too wide for the screen. Never mind as it is very inexpensive (well free really) fun I can't complain. Not that I ever complain or grumble you understand. Viva Grumpy Old Men - they've all got the right idea.

Dave Newell Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Slight hijack: Anybody using Firefox who has experienced slow response on some websites despite broadband connection can improve performance with a few simple changes, see here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1299854/posts Hijack over.

carolh Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I use firefox and it was like watching paint dry last night, so switched off in disgust. timed out this morning too, but tried again and it loaded and seems ok now! only time will tell. hey ho, nearly time to get ready for work - but it's P.O.E.T.S day.

Mike Chapman Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hello Carioca, Carolh and Starspirit, Found exactly the same with IE7 although I did stick with it and had Firefox already for access speed comparison. This morning IE7 seems to be flying and Firefox crawling especially when returning to Home when the system seems to hang for anything up to 15 seconds with "Waiting for www.sptag2.com". Starspirit, Have noticed the wide page problem with Firefox but it does not happen with every thread such as this one for instance and only seems to happen on this forum. Any idea why? Regards to all, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gootler Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I believe It only happens when somebody puts in a partuclarly long website address in their message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
