Likewise; mostly poor.

Same here

Tried just before 2300h and it was painfully slow. Again now at 0230h, so slow that some icons etc don’t even load.

I experienced similar issues accessing both this newsgroup and in accceesing the Accurascale website during the past week, otherwise no problems with internet access here in New Zealand or internationally.

High noon on the 24th, slow to load on the wrong side of the Irish Sea, but does eventually.

Could it be your ISP? Or wifi? 

I’ve been monitoring and haven’t detected any slowness 

No, I wouldn't say so. All other sites are behaving perfectly normally. And apart from that, a lot of other members seem to be having some trouble on and off  as well. Working fine at the moment. Strange. Thanks for the reply

Phew, as it's the only forum I am on, I thought me auld phone was giving up the ghost

After a few slow days, it's back to normal for me at the moment.

But, I have just been reminded that any emails alerting me to an incoming PM on here are being popped into Spam by my Gmail account, despite me always confirming them to be 'Not spam'.

Strange. Same thing has happened to me, but the opposite. 

About four months ago, my emails alerting me to a notification began going into my spam. Like you, I confirmed it not as spam, but it continued to happen. Then, I stopped getting email notifications completely. 

For no reason whatsoever, over the last four or five days, I've started receiving email notifications again.

Forum brutally slow the last few hours. @BosKonay must be winding it down before merging it with RMW!

Happy New Year everybody!

It’s a bit faster the past few minutes. Was woeful for an hour or two before midnight.

[Patrick Davey]

I've had zero issues at all.

Happy New Year everyone!

Still slow here - especially on iphone. Since all this started, it varies from adequate, rather than quick, to stuck-wont-open.... Right now, slowish.

[John-r]

I'm the same still speeding up and slowing down to the extant that I just leave the page , and will add its only this forums page that seems to give trouble, don't know what is causing it, happy New year to you all on the forum.

Until yesterday, it had been as fast as usual for a good few days - then it went very slow, to the point of timing out before it connected at all.

Now, all is normal again.


Well, as normal as it ever is here...

I’ve activated external monitoring too and it’s also seeing nothing. Super odd

If he’s doing a merger all the pages have got to be half the width.

Very occasional long load times for me.

@BosKonay HAR file attached showing long connection and SSL times for a couple of GET requests within a page but normal behaviour for others - might indicate server resource limits being reached? Page tested was a full reload of /discover.
