My Favourite Website...

..looks like this http://www.pistonheads.com/errors/xml.asp

Seriously guys, what the hell is going on? At least 50% of the time i'm getting this page, it took me 5 goes to get into here! I wouldn't mind if it was happening occasionally, but it's all the time.

Sort it out chaps, please. It's ruining my enjoyment of the site.

We had a server decide to take a lunch break

I've kicked it back into action so hopefully everything should be better now

ETA: just kicking it again

Sorry, i know that sounded like i was having a go, it wasn't meant to.

Its just that the site is so slow. I can download a 20MB pdf file in 10 seconds, but it takes 30 secs - 1 minute to load the forum page

I'm only saying so you guys know there are errors and issues, not having a personal attack on PH. I'm aware the infrastructure behind the site is flawed and you guys are doing the best you can, but i just want the damn thing to work!!

As per my suggestion further down the page, use Firefox and install the free Ad Blocker Plus add-in. It nukes all the ads and PH loads much, much, much faster as a result.
