+Bob Smith Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I've just been trying to log lots of finds from yesterday and it's taking ages for the pages to come up, it's like being on very slow dial up. It's so bad I've just given up. Other wbsites are loading Ok. Anyone else got his problem? Bob Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Anyone else got his problem? Bob Absolutely, it is bad on broadband so must be an absolute nightmare on dial up, afraid it is a kinda same s**t different day thing! Quote
+The Cluehunter Duo Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It was slow an hour or so ago, but seems fine again now. Quote

+hiho9 Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 i have already given it up, will try again tomorrow morning. Quote
+keehotee Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It's been pretty dire now and then since the "upgrades" a few days ago. Absolutely, it is bad on broadband so must be an absolute nightmare on dial up Think this must be server-side, so it'll be no worse on dial up than dsl. Quote

+TMM-Sarah Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 It's been bad for the past few days...absolutely no fun as I'm still trying to log the last 20 of my 123!!!! At this rate I'll be finding them faster than I can log 'em! Sarah Quote
+The Book Of Shadows Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Also remember what day it was yesterday Quote
+scottpa100 Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 It was awful last night, but quite nippy this Monday morning. Either its because us Limeys have finished logging all our finds (the other side of the Atlantic could still be logging at the moment) or they've fixed it! Quote
+Delta68 Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 We tend to log our finds in the evening whilst relaxing with a glass of wine or two. Last night it took us nearly 2½ hours to log 10 finds! Quote
+keehotee Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Has anybody else been having problems following shortcuts to cache pages? I've put a couple on my desktop - a new cache of mine that I'm working on, and a local cache I'm keeping an eye on - but if I click to go to the page I get a "Runtime Error" message. I can get to both pages well enough through GC / my account / etc - just not via the shortcuts (even if I get there successfully the long way, and create a new shortcut) Just noticed this is also now happening with email notifications. Ie click the link, get a runtime error message. Go in the long way, page loads OK....... Quote

Im getting the same runtime error with my email notifications too although going through my account the page opens fine, although its very slow loading. Quote

+keehotee Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 The same thing happens with Memory Map click through... Quote
+Wadders Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Yep, same old slow pace...how much longer have we got to put up with this? Occasionally, you can put up with, but this is becoming all too regular now Quote
+Wadders Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 JEREMY?? JEREMY....you come inside now and sort these computers out....it's just not good enough, you will be grounded if you dont!!!! Quote
+Simply Paul Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 It's been fine for me- Maybe it's just effecting premium members? Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 It's been fine for me- Maybe it's just effecting premium members? You could be right. We're premium members and it's taking nearly 20 seconds for pages to load Quote
+Wadders Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 zzzzzzz.... slow tonight? As it seems to be every night, every afternoon and every morning as well, but the powers that be are clearly taking no notice of their disgruntled customers Quote
+Wadders Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Problems link Perhaps they are trying, it's that old addage though "If it aint broke................" Quote
+Mr'D Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Hmmm... and I thought things were sorted out a month or two back? Not good enough Jeremy! Maybe we should take a leaf out of SP's book and all become non-premiuum members! Quote
