It was slower than stink earlier but it’s rapid for me now?

nah, you’ve just lowered your standards cougar

So what’s new?

More concerning is the loss of STW income for the day. Any estimates of that?

engine dead, air supply low, advice please..

That wouldn’t seem possible.

Everyone frantically clicking refresh will more than cover any actual use of the site…

Don’t worry they’ll supplement it with some extra redirects to dodgy websites over the next few days.

Anyone else finding it extremely slow loading pages?

seems slow here 🙂

Where has the new view of profile posts started and replied to gone? Also the reply to post button? Was I dreaming?

No you weren’t dreaming. There also appeared to be image hosting options!

No you saw the promised land, as did I, oh my it was good and then in a flash they take it away – sadists

I suspect they’ve all been Xmas shopping.

Yay!!!

Aaand the ad redirects happen immediately….

Facebook survey if anyone cares.

Oh and don’t go on the homepage, sucks bandwidth like crazy!!!

the fonts were different.

I actually had to waste time in town today!

Particularly cruel given your recent need to concentrate on household chores. If they had timed it right you would have all the motivation necessary!

Stuck in the hospital and they take my one form of entertainment / time wastage away 😥

I spend hours imagining what awaits when the forum returns and……….

It’s exactly the same.

The other massive disappointment is not seeing ten locked threads about this very topic only with bizarre title choices

Evening.

Sorry… something changed?

Engagements?

Is this a dating site now?

What’s that about?

Phew. I can stop working.

New forum is soooo much better than the old one. Erm, maybe.

I like the grey.

Was it just a snow day for the mods?

If you had to have one guess at when the STW Christmas party was…

They had to shut it down whilst they partied or we’d have created too many duplicate threads and broken the swear filter

On the mobile site, seems like there’s now a link to the last page of the thread. Not always, though (5.5″ screen here)

Edit, no ignore me. It’s no different

It’s verrrry slooooooow

Click, count to five… .

Played more riffs than usual today, my fingers are sore. Visited more alterantive sites than usual too, my d….

I checked Grit.cx out of desperation. Thought a temporary thread may have been running there to allay the boredom. No…nothing on there for a whole month.

Plot twist, the upgrade was a smokescreen, the forum is actually hosted at ukfast which has been down most of the day. 😉

In History you get to see what people have actually posted, not just which threads they have posted on.

New forum being delivered by myhermes…..

I just lost patience waiting for the EU thread to open. This upgrade is ace !

The problem isn’t at my end. Would it be faster if I tried with my old 56k modem?

I’ve been so bored today I’ve had to do some work.

Just for a vague attempt at something helpful for the techies, the speed is woeful on laptop (I’ve done a speed test and all checks out fine).

Mobile fine from the same connection.

Extremely slow here too.

Particularly cruel given your recent need to concentrate on household chores. If they had timed it right you would have all the motivation necessary!

I know, they could have told me beforehand and i would have explained that the inspection would have to wait until tomorrow because STW is down. I could have done it all today.

House looks really good, inspection done, no problems at all. Now to try and sort this xmas thing i have been hearing about.

Apparently it’s not that long away?

I thought I’d observed that bigger threads take longer to open. But that was before today too.

I am a big fan of the admin not posting anything at all about what’s been done, new features, the stuff which was removed etc. It’s like they’ve gifted us the gift of working out what, if anything has changed.

It truly is a Christmas miracle!

It’s dog slow here too, which makes it harder to post illtempered poorly spelled rants that you instantly regret (but will defend to the death with more illtempered poorly spelled posts)

I really like the maintenance screen though.

Nothing’s changed Jamie, the maintenance was aborted.
