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 ?

Hi TD,yes I have.Its been quite random.Using FF this morning and had a bout of pages loading very slowly.Very spasmodic at present.

Edit

Its very hit and miss at present.I can click a few pages that load instantly,then all of a sudden very slow.

Me too  .... I use FF and it's been 'sticking' on a few pages  ...   I wasn't sure if it was me or not ... with the thundery weather        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.

I can`t say I`ve noticed/had any problems?

Might just be luck on my part..

No problems here either.

No problems, IE8 and XP Pro.

But I have a lot of add sites blocked.

It appears to be 'flying' now          but 

[UncleUB]

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.

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 ....   Kate

[tuftedduck]

@ 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..

[scottiesmum]

Thank you for that TD   ....

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.
