I too agree - been very slow all day! One only has to look at the last post times to realise we three are not alone! Pity we can't put the clock back :-(

I agree> The time being taken to load a Forum page is excessive. I have given up at least once today, but may well leave a couple of days before re-trying. One of the things that annoys me about using IE9 is that there are no bars to show you if anything is happening, exacerbating the problem as to whether - or not - something is being loaded!

The assurances given about the 'tweaking' of the site to improve the many shortcomings seem to have little basis given the reaction time being experienced today. It really is not functional compared to others and the 'old' version - which did fail occasionally; but not consistently. Every action from gaining access to viewing to posting takes forever.

I must be lucky, I have just come on and the page loaded p.d.q. having said that, there has been times when I could have gone and made a cuppa in the time it took, but not Today :o}
