Yep - spoke too soon :(

thumbwitch · 08/10/2010 09:58

ooh! it seems to be fixed - I no longer have horribly big white spaces - hope I haven't spoken too soon! Grin

Thanks Tech

... but my bookmarks have made a reappearance!

fedupofnamechanging · 08/10/2010 08:46

Funny how much we flap and panic if MN is down. I nearly had to talk to my DH and do some housework!

BecauseImWorthIt · 08/10/2010 08:27

It was very slow yesterday - but then so were other sites - I thought it was either a problem with my router/home broadband or a wider www problem.

First attempt to get on this morning failed, but it's been ok since then (although some threads are a bit slow to load).

thumbwitch · 08/10/2010 08:05

TECH! What's with the white space? IT's affecting my Threads I'm On now as well!!!

thumbwitch · 08/10/2010 02:58

Well, it was so slow earlier I had to give up and go away, I couldn't bear it.

Now it's back to normal speed BUT BUT BUT...

I'm getting stupidly large areas of white space next to the ads on pages 2+ of each thread. In other words, the OP's post on subsequent pages is appearing below the ads on the RHS - that's a lot of white space to scroll past!

C'mon tech - what have you been up to??

I've (well ok DP) downloaded cc cleaner to get rid of all kinds of rubbish on the computer, although it seems to have sped things up, MN is still slower than a big bag of slow things

onadietcokebreak · 07/10/2010 22:57

slow here too...arrgghhh

Insanitybecomesme · 07/10/2010 22:07

keeps slowing down here as well

Valpollicella · 07/10/2010 22:04

Maybe Tech has Seasonal Affective Disorder Zapostrphe? .Should we all chip in to buy one of those natural light boxes for him?

paisleyleaf · 07/10/2010 22:01

Slow for me on safari.

FGS whip them harder, they've slowed downagain.

ps. are 'they' oompaloomas or weevils?

spamm · 07/10/2010 20:42

I thought I was the only one experiencing this - very very slow and that is in the office Blush where they have much better bandwidth that at home.

usualsuspect · 07/10/2010 20:34

mines slowed down again

Olihan · 07/10/2010 20:32

Mine's sped up to normal speed now.

It does seem as if it's got a little quicker but do keep up posted if it's running slow for you.

MissBeehiving · 07/10/2010 20:27

Faster YetmoreTech, faster!

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 07/10/2010 20:22

Actually, while I went away and read a very long thread, it's got faster here... Grin

mummylin2495 · 07/10/2010 20:17

mine is still slooooooooooow.

fedupofnamechanging · 07/10/2010 20:13

Mine is slow too. Wish I'd seen this thread before I spent half an hour defragmenting the laptop etc. Have also been going offline today (just when I'd written particularly long and interesting posts Wink).

YetMoreTech · 07/10/2010 20:07

Blimey, I go away to eat something then come back to this again!

It'll speed up again in about 30 seconds.

camerondiazepam · 07/10/2010 20:07
