Slow forum ?

Has anyone else found the forum to be slow and "sticky" over the last two or three days.
Seems to be coming adrift when trying to load googledoubleclick ?

but other sites are running normal.

We had a similar discussion in January, and it was thought that the occasional slow-down was caused by slow loading of external links such as google ads. I suspect that the same applies now.

Ok for me (at present).This doesn't happen all the time just occasionally and as Roseway has said we had a similar problem a few months back which was related to Google ads

Seems ok here and I cant see any probs with the server.. it is supposed to be one of the fastest in the UK.
>> googledoubleclick
Obviously I have no control over the server state of outside sources and if any images or links that are hosted on external servers. If an image that is hosted elsewhere is on a server that is experiencing problems, then unfortunately it will affect the loading of these pages.

Thanks Kitz ... I did wonder about images ... I use Village Photos for some of mine and VP does tend to be slow sometimes ... I think I shall do what I should have done a while ago and move the lot to photo-bucket ....

@ scottiesmum..........your images were not the problem, so don't expend any effort fiddling with them.
All down to Google in it's varying forms.
All seems sweetness and light again today..

Well I put a block on the banner image, not the Kitz part, but the one in the middle and the page loads like lightening.
That's using Opera.

Spasmodically slow loading for me at present.
I know Google ads are blamed for this,but on other sites that use Google ads there doesn't seem to be a problem.
