Its being really bad tonight.

I've surfed milk floats faster than this place

[jim..c]

I've been struggling as well. Why so slooooooooow?

[D_T_W]

It's appears to have been getting steadily worse recently, though last night it was taking 6 or 7 attempts before the pages would load, though the classifieds seemed to be suffering more than the forums just now.

no replacement yet?

or have they all gone on mourning leave?

Came in here to find one of the many threads on this. I cannot believe this is still so bad - for me it's been over 6 months now.

I know it's not costing me etc. but it's a real pain in the arse and I am actually considering getting some work done in real life, that's how frustrating it has become

[PetrolTed]

I'll be in the office today. I'll find out what's happening.

[leerdam23]

yep, bloody slow, since you sold out infact!!

[pikey]

I've got to be another voice to this.

Different ISPs, different computers, different O/Ss and different times of day and I definitely feel a slowdown.

Could it be the ad agency changed since Haymarket took over and their ad supplying servers aren't as beefy??

That's a definite issue with the site at the moment but it reveals itself whilst the page is halfway through loading. Although I don't think there's an inherent problem with Accipiter's servers - a lot of my clients use them and don't suffer significant page load delays.

I think the main problem is that nothing happens at all when trying to access a page.

I was wondering whether it was just me, but again, other sites load quickly, just seems to be PH I have trouble with.
Sometimes all activity stops dead, I have to open new browser windows and paste the multitude of links I was trying to open.

Being on the other side of the world I would have though I was mainly surfing during your quiet time? (like now?)

i find it quick but then all of a sudden it will hang which then requires several applications of the virtual hammer

[Kinky]

I have to agree with all of the above.

Particularly frustrating when you reply to a post and click submit and it just sits there doing nothing.

[Mrs Fish]

Another one here that agrees to the above.

[PetrolTed]

I am investigating it now.

[Kinky]

I have to fully agree with Furyous's comment on the other thread ....

[PetrolTed]

Think I made some progress in understanding the problem today. Will continue tomorrow.
