Is the slowness GR's fault? Here's me thinking the local teenagers were grabbing the band width for on-line gaming :-0

I am getting fed up with the slowness tonight in trying to open a thread, post on one or edit

I am sure GR will say there hasn't been any problems

For some time now there have been problems with the GR website - across the board in my experience. Those problems have been highlighted by a great many members.

To compound it, the decision to "improve" the site today by adding new chat boards would appear to have merely exacerbated those problems - problems which many members have been trying to highlight and draw attention to for some considerable time.
In general terms I think the new boards serve a useful purpose and should prove popular - if only people could actually access the site and those boards in a trouble-free manner!

Very often, members have received answers to their queries regarding the problems which tried to put the onus back on them - they are using the wrong browser, they should do this, they should do that.

This is not good enough!

If GR will not work with certain browsers or certain operating systems or certain setups then this should be highlighted before people part with their cash.

I have never encountered a website like it!

Nor, I might add, have I ever been involved in the design of a website which presents so many problems - at least after proper testing and being released generally.

Whatever I do, be it posting, looking at a thread etc etc takes me bloomin' ages and several attempts.

Think about this. If you use a dongle to connect to the internet, for example, then you will be on a limited data cap. Because it is taking several attempts to do anything on the site and you have to continually reload the page and you get booted off and have to relog in then it is costing you money because it is using up your data - I am furious!

Will GR offer current members any sort of genuine guarantee that matters will be resolved ASAP?
Will GR offer current members some sort of recompense because (a) they are not receiving the service they believe they have subscribed to and (b) it is potentially costing them money in terms of excessive data usage?

Any other thoughts?
