Your website is very very slow. It also keeps kicking me out to a Google 'can't connect you to..' page.
It's tedious and makes me and I suspect others not want to keep trying. It also makes accesing it from a smartphone not really worth the bother.
Just saying.
not just me then
Seems normal to me
Get a better smart phone? Working fine on mine
happens everynight to me on here 🙁
Me too.
struggling too
1 in 5 clicks crashes for me
always very slow for me too - worse in the evenings

oops its more like 4 in 5 clicks crashes
Yet again the Hamster needs a prod.
Or maybe upgrading to something that can actually do the job properly?
Annoying and one of the few things that makes me think I can't be bothered waiting, so I go and look at other websites that don't stutter when they get busy.
It's a big site, it's very popular, time to live up to that?
Yep very slooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww with firefox.
Cor, I genuinely thought it was my terribly old laptop at the end of a really shonky bit of the interwebnetthing.
Glad to hear that it's not just me...but it's still ****ing annoying!
Comes and goes for me. I have noticed over the last couple of weeks it's been a bit slow between 7pm and 10pm ish.
Just like the shit old days.
I suggest repeatedly posting a thread entitled "MODS PLEASE SORT THE FORUM"
same here.

it'll just get deleted & you'll get banned. Then there will be less posting & the forum will be faster.
Winners all round?
It a nightmare when I'm at work
It's all the bloody +1's!

It's all the short bannings, the banees flooding back and posting about bannings and everyone getting het up like it's Eastenders = loads of traffic. D'oh!
I've found for the last week it's been slow but thought it was my shonky PC skills. 😳
Cynic-al - there's still time to edit that.... We dont want to lose you. 😀
Phew that a relief I thought it was my puter so have just given it a good clean .
and guess what no better .
they must have replaced the hamster with Jo Burt
Running fine here and I can barley scrape a 1mb connection. Works well on my smartphone and very rarely get dropped links
-3 me thinks
I do have the "p" next to my name so no adds might help
Yup - same here again tonight 🙁
nope slow here and a few failed attempts to connect and I am also a P
my laptop is 5 yrs old and I have a huge 3.7 mb connection which cannot help matters

as a long-time firefox user here (and running, ahem, certain blocking software) been suffering with shonkytrackworld the past few days - just installed Opera in its default install and its working ok.
Also running very slow for me, every other site runs OK, just STW that seems to take about 20 seconds to load.
My download speed is 18.9 megs per second?
Is that quick enough to make it the site that's slow?
On Opera here too- although I don't think it's officially supported - and not noticed any issues. None on my Blackberry either.
Me too - probably all those ads loading. Can i disable them anyhow?
Might have to migrate to Bike Magic.
its bound to be worse in the evenings..everyones trying to get on ! 😉
Doesn't seem particularly slow here.
Always very slow in my experience, even on my 80mb/s work connection.
Well dodgy servers. 🙁
OP I blame all the +1's taking all the bandwidth
either that or midlandstrailquestgraham 😆
Me too. Thought it was Flash so I turned that off, but little difference.
iMac running Safari, updates current
much better here tonight than it has been for the last 4 or 5 days
With all the meaningless junk posted on here we need a 'worthy' filter.
Weed out all the threads that are not worthy, then there'd be almost nothing left, and the site would rocket along. 🙂
Mudpup.. You are a Premier user. Turn the ads off! The button is in your account settings.
It's not the ads though. They are served separately from the rest of the site on their own dedicated server.
I suspect that with the mag being delayed we are experiencing a lot more people downloading the digital version which is a 100mb PDF file.
As it happens though I'm waiting for a couple of prices on a new server to add to our collection because we are aware that the rate of downloads of content combined with the massive increase in user numbers we've seen over the last few months has started to send our current servers a bit red at times.
This is the spec of one of our servers...
Processor Quad Core Xeon 2.66Ghz
CPU Cores 4 CPU Cores
RAM 4GB DDR3 RAM
Hard Disk 1 x 300GB Ultra-fast SAS
Hardware Raid RAID 0
Port Speed 100Mbit
We are looking to get another one to serve purely Premier content. The way the site is being used has changed remarkably in the last few months. Sorry for the slowness but we'll have it sorted asap.
Slow here. Whip the hamsters harder.
Ok now.... almost bed time tho. Sweet dreams STW!
