Seem to spend a lot of time staring at this... for some days PH has been running like crap - every click/page takes 10-15 seconds to load, sometimes more.

Can you put some more coal on and build up the steam pressure a bit please?

I have also noticed this and checked my internet connection is running properly to verify that it is not a "my end".

I think everyone is busy fixing the bug with posts containing single quotes in the title.

Oh.

[Simpo Two]

Seems much better today.



You serious about the quotes?

It was a poor joke. Clicking on this thread throws an error because it has quotes in the title- the error has been around for some time.

It works fine for me!

It won't if you click through from "My Stuff"


We'll fix it when we have the time. All us techies are quite busy with other parts of the website. There is more to PH than just the forum.

Ah yes, the legendary and amusingly named 'search' facility of course!

Dump the 'my stuff' thing (whatever it is; I've never heard of it) and move on

I've been having lots of problems accessing PH over the last couple of weeks and it seems to be getting worse in the last few days. It frequently hangs on the 'waiting for ...' message until I give up and refresh the page, or click on another link. I'm using Firefox, I've tried clearing my cache etc, PC is fine and other sites work ok. Just thought I'd let you know, not sure if others are experiencing the same problem?

Me too. Word for word.

Takes ages to load forum pages, take sages to load classified, and won't load most pictures on the classifieds

Yesterday evening was poor. My answer is to have two windows open and run PH in parallel, so I can continue reading one while the sits 'waiting'. Nothing a bit more coal won't fix.

[MattDell]

We have indeed put some more coal on the fire. Hopefully this helps.

We've gone as far as heaping it up and banking it in for the weekend. Hopefully there will be some embers left on Monday that we can blow on to get it going again...

What the hell are you going on about?

Same for me.

Seems to only be a problem on more modern browsers. An old work PC running IE7 is fine.

Not that I look at PH at work. No Sir. Not me.

Really slow again today

We've got load
