Ahhhh! WHY?

[NewNameforNewTerm]

I've had two days of VERY slow page loading, but at least 50% of the time I get
^www.mumsnet.com
503 Error

It appears the website you are trying to visit is having technical difficulties or is no longer available.

Please go back and try your request again or try searching Google to find another website with what you're looking for!^

or it diverts me back to my search page (even when moving between MN pages within the site) claiming it cannot find the page/site.

When I type a message it tries to load for ages, then drops out. I despair and have run out of patience to stay!

It is only MN, all other websites are fine.

Hi NewName

We're so sorry - we've had an awful lot of site traffic over the past few days, and it's made things very slow to load.

Is there any improvement for you today?

Thanks for the response Rowan. Better, but still an issue, yesterday. Not so good today. Too much site traffic on a Saturday morning?

Problem seems to be solved now.
