Site accessibility problems

[Jerome]

Hello,

I have a lot of problems accessing this site. Sometimes I can open the site : http://www.access-programmers.co.uk but the forum section will not open.

When I start a new thread or reply on an excising one and I want to submit is it takes a long time before the thread is shown within my browser (Firefox). Sometimes it just hangs and I have to do it again.

Are there other people who also have this problem?

It seems to have issues every so often. I couldn't get in about 3 hours ago and when I did, it took forever to load a page. It seems to be back to normal. Not sure why it would be doing that unless perhaps the web host is having issues.

Yes! You cracked it Gary! I never thought of that! I can just see the little cherubs belting out of the playground rushing home to play "Access-programmers forum", far more exciting that the wi.

Lol, but seriously, this site is getting slower and slower. Even when I log in early in the morning, it's not up to speed as it used to be. Logging in sometimes takes ages. I wonder if the site owner is aware of this.

I did send Jon an email about it and have every faith that he will take a look, fingers crossed.

I'm wondering if there's a lot of debris needs to be cleared out. For instance, I'm sure there are a lot of accounts that could be made redundant. I try to do my bit by deleting a whole lot of junk that I've posted as often as possible from the watercooler, don't know if it helps at all, I can but try

The site first slowed down when google ads were introduced, it's gotten much worse since those colourful things were introduced

What colourful things? I thought Timmy had gone!

Has anyone noticed if the site is extremely slow today. It is for me.

Also, has the behavior of a reply changed? I get a redirect after a reply, which modifies the way in which I use the site.

The redirect has always been there just most of the time you dont see it as it is THAT fast...

Yes the site IS slow and seemingly getting slower by the week

Edit: Though at times it just *flies* like (ironicaly) this reply

How far back do you start that? If it helps, I would like to do it too.

I have been wanting to complain for a long time. The main forum page is slow but then to go any deaper or to reply to a thread is almost impossible - I even get timeouts every so often.

I am in Europe and notice that in the mornings it is better so the best I can come up with is the forum cannot handle the load when USA wakes up.
