General Chat

Like Supercrutch, I have used various servers, iPads etc.

Although I've never had any error messages I have found this site extremely slow at times and it's the slowness that I find offputting.

I wonder whether it's a case of too much traffic because I have had no problem getting into the site this morning, entering rapidly on the iPad when the majority of the UK may not yet be online - and, yes, I know that online correspondents are not confined to the UK - but I think they'll be spread more sparsely around the rest of the world.

I'll try again when I get back this afternoon.

Say you go the tap for water and nothing or only a trickle comes out.
Aha it must be the water company. Blast them.

Much easier than considering other possibilities such as lack of rain, broken pipes, unpaid bill ....

Especially when there is little understanding of how the service is provided and refusal to consider that the majority do not experience the same problem of the muddy brown trickle.

Not if I have just had my pipes surveyed, my bills are fully paid up and there hasn't been a drought so the reservoirs are full.

Unless everyone has turned on their taps at the same time, in which case it is those higher up who suffer most.

during the past few weeks there have been some major changes in the way that Chrome/webkit and Firefox handle static resources. A performance improvement of 60% is claimed. make sure yr browser version is latest , flush cache and restart.
nb: excludes XP users.

there have been no such changes to Apple browsers tho' Apple claim no need.

Hi all,

I have had the Error page again this morning and I was having all day yesterday.

Hi Peeps,

My oh has just refreshed Friefox for me and I am not having problems at the moment.

You'll never guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't open my tree.........

O Just tried again and I am there.

I have just had the blimmin Error page again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well its still going on and I think its worse than ever now as I just can't get straight to my threads.

I am sick amd tired of the blimmin Error page and the time it takes to get on the threads once you have got into the site.

Your connection to GR is timing out.
A quick check on GR shows no problems.
There are lots of local issues which may cause timeouts.
As you say nothing about your setup it is not possible to comment.

I'm still coming in by the back door :-)

Having just had a 'new', old computer which is about 10 times as fast as the old one, I still get the error message and come on via the 'support' link there. It's become a habit now.

Back after 2 weeks away .................. got on 3 times today with no problems :-D
