During the last 3-4 days or perhaps more, AWF has become slow. I wait for every page while staring at "Wating for scripts.access-programmes.co.uk."

All other sites load as per ususal, so apparently something has changed here, and not for the better. I hope this is not permanent.
 
It could be due to hurricane Sandy?
 
@Jon, Has been going on since BS... Before Sandy... :rolleyes:

Sometimes I leave my browser on that "Wating for scripts.access-programmes.co.uk." screen and return to it 30 to 45 mins later and it is still actively waiting.

Perhaps it has been going on now for a couple of weeks, randomly. Some times I have a fast connection, sometimes it is "slowsville".
 
I was going to bet on the alignment of the planets as cause, but this morning apparently the planets have aligned properly, since so far the response is back to normal. So far.
 
Spike was probably onto something, but rather than the planets probably the increasing activity of those witches on their broomsticks, now that Halloween has passed they are back in their caves.

I have the same problem.

Sometimes when repling it actually freezes. If I go to advanced it works better.

While I am complaining my Email has not worked for a month or two. This means that every person who tries to join using the same ISP is rejected. The ISP is Bigpond which is the biggest in Oz.

PS I have had to use my Google email instead.

Thanks for listening.

I love the joke. Blame everything on Sandy while you can.

The system now appears to be slower. Sometimes it times out when uploading a reply.

Also the email notifications have not been fixed.

This is now Saturday Night so one would think that the traffic would be reduced. This site is much slower than more complicated ones.

Hope you can help soon.

I am happy to report that my Email is now working. Thank You.

The site is still slow and sometimes replies time out.
 
May I ask when it started working again?
 
LOL

The devil made me do that.

To answer the question, I don't know.

My mail has been going to Gmail then diverted.

Every now and then I test it, which I did tonight.

So other than that I can't give you any clues.

To explain more, Bigpond is my prefered email. I used gmail while Bigpond was out. I can now use Bigpond.
 
I asked because I got a couple of spam emails today from the sites email address. So, I went to my host and they implemented some SMTP setup that should stop that. Perhaps they adjusted something that fixed the supposed email problems some people have been getting.
 
Well I am happy with the emails working again.

If only you could fix the speed.

Thanks Jon
 
Hi Jon.

I can confirm @bigpond.com is receiving emails directly from this site.

Chris.
 
Mine is different. It is @bigpond.net.au

Same ISP
 
Hi Jon.

It again appears that bigpond (at least) is not getting emails from this site.

This also means that new members can not join because they can't reply to the confirmation email.

Regards,
Chris.
 
We are still getting people introducing themselves in the introductions forum so some must be getting emails. Not sure how I can check if people get them or not.
 
Hi Jon.

When I say new members will not be able to join I mean new members using bigpond as a domain, or any other domain which may have been blocked, will not be able to join.

Some people are getting emails, I can redirect my emails through GMail, but the bigpond domain is currently blocked. Perhaps you will need to ask your host if they are currently blocking any domains.

Regards,
Chris.
