The generators which supply the forum had a reported hiccup hence the speed..

Oddly it was very slow 15 mins ago (on a chromebook using my OnePlus as a 4g hotspot) whilst the BBC website was quick - but now STW is very much back up to speed.

So what did I manage to view earlier ?

It was all Times New Roman font with green tinge to layout.... didn’t like it at all

Being back the forum as it was way back when I say.

Slow for me on iPhone but has been for months now. Clearing browsing history did used to resolve it.

Edit: I must have entered a parallel universe. No sign of the thread I posted on earlier

Update = I can now see ‘P’ against some people’s names. Privileged, petulant, procrastinator or amazon prime ?

Flying for me. Was slow for the first few pages - are scripts or images cached locally?

I hate to be the IT Guy but, try logging out and back in again? I had some odd cookie weirdness earlier and that fixed it.

Very slow here (iPad safari)… not sure why or where I found the patience for this thread to load, so that I could post this!

Hi Guys, so we (myself, Andy and Tom) had big hopes for today that haven't panned out yet. To be honest it's been a massively frustrating day in the tech corner. We started at 4am this morning and it was meant to take just a few hours to bring you an upgraded forum, which is the first stage of a larger plan The challenge and what has got the best of us today is how to build a system that can take the existing 8 million posts and still handle up to 1000 concurrent users. It was a load thing and we felt sure we had it but something in the database wasn't working right and it ground to a halt pretty quickly. We have ideas as to how to fix it and we'll regroup in the morning but to be honest we all went home earlier this evening utterly knackered promising ourselves we wouldn't look at the forum. As it happens we can't stay away. Tom has already been in poking it during these random slow downs and I thought I'd give you an update before I head for bed.

Thanks for the update Mark, must have been massively frustrating. Hopefully just a temporary set back.

A block thread mode would be beneficial to my general well being!

Thanks for heads up Mark!

Must be annoying as hell.

We'll survive until it's sorted I'm sure! 😀

Tried to get on a little while ago, and the site just sat doing bugger-all, so restarted the pad, still a lot of bugger-all, closed it down, re-opened it, and it eventually opened up, now I’m wondering what, if anything, has actually changed.

It's taking roughly two minutes for each page to load on my iPad using Safari.

This will make witty retorts and snappy comebacks somewhat problematic

No change there then.
