GC.com very slow this evening

Recommended Posts

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?

Yes, it's dreadfully slow. I'll give up and try again later if it doesn't work soon. :blink:

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.......
