Since 'tuning in' this PM, I've noticed that the forum seems to be slowing down on and off. My other internet stuff is zipping along at its normal speed, so I assume this must just be affecting AOS.

Is the forum slow today?

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
There is a fault apparently Geoff, the backroom staff are working on it

Yes, there was an intermittent issue this afternoon from around 2.30-4.30pm UK Time which caused extremely slow running / forum offline time. This appears to have been resolved now. We will be monitoring the situation.

Sure, sure... put the doughnut down, get back on the bike and keep pedaling and there's no problem, now is there, Nick.Originally Posted by Beechwoods
...kidding... I'm sure you're on top of it.
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Terrible at the minute.
Right, I have had enough. Attempting to wade through all this treacle is becoming very frustrating. May I respectfully suggest that you guys find a new hosting company because we've had more downtime in the last couple of months than I remember in my previous three years of membership. I will be back when everything is up and running properly

I think there is a network issue here. The server load / memory usage looks OK. Even images like the banner are taking time to download on the very front index page. We are as frustrated as all you are.
I noticed images were taking an age to load Nick, even members avatars were taking their sweet time.
Alan, I don't want to get into a fight with you, my points were valid mate.

It's not the same problem as the last time, because the forum is up, just running very slow. We suspect that it's a network issue. As soon as we get any info, we'll update everyone.
In the meantime, it's a nice sunny night, so go and get some fresh air in the garden, instead of moaning like big girls!
