I like how GapsAGoodUn explains it:
I assumed there was a problem with the cables under the ocean

What I think has happened today is:
problem with the cables under London

AnyFucker · 18/05/2011 00:33

impressive, nonetheless Grin

and completely unintelligible

nannynick · 18/05/2011 00:32

Nope, only computer nerd languages Grin

AnyFucker · 18/05/2011 00:31

NN, may I congratulate you on your mastery of a second language

do you know any other foreign languages ? Smile

GapsAGoodUn · 18/05/2011 00:29

Wow, that's weird, because I was having those problems all last week.

Justine - have a look at <a class="break-all" href="http://myspeed.visualware.com/servers/namerica/iad.php?testtype=-3&codebase=mcslhr.visualware.com&message=Speed%20connection%20test%20helps%20to%20pre%20qualify%20customers&location=UK:%20London&ver=9&map=uk&pps=50&bpp=160&codec=G.711&provtext=Visualware&provlink=www.visualware.com/&width=600" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VisualWare Traceroute (requires Java)

It's still showing for me that there is packet loss at car2.London2.Level3.net
Level3 I expect have engineers working on the problem.

nannynick · 18/05/2011 00:19

I do unlimited, no pages. It's been fine mostly for me this evening (only one occurrence of the CSS not loading).

I suspect Level3 having connection issues... would result in it working for some users and not for others I believe, depending on the routing.

MrsShrekTheThird · 17/05/2011 23:58

yep, speeds up about 11.30pm Grin

piprabbit · 17/05/2011 23:56

Do you think it get's better when all the lightweights go to bed?

AitchTwoOh · 17/05/2011 23:54

yup, much better here too.

AnyFucker · 17/05/2011 23:50

yep, improved here too

just like last night < hard stare >

simpson · 17/05/2011 23:46

I'm not doing pages either, but tbh in the last 30mins or so it has beeen better

AitchTwoOh · 17/05/2011 23:43

i like one big loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong page. Grin (when it loads)

AnyFucker · 17/05/2011 23:36

is pagination even a real word ?

sounds made-up to me Smile

ChristinedePizan · 17/05/2011 23:34

You killed the theory Aitch :(

AitchTwoOh · 17/05/2011 23:31

JustineMumsnet · 17/05/2011 23:24

We are looking at this folks. Can I ask do you have pagination on or are you on unlimited messages per page?

nannynick · 17/05/2011 22:36

The mumsnet site is working fine as far as I can see. The issues are between you and the mumsnet servers. You or Mumsnet are unable to do anything about that. Tis the way the of the internet at times I'm afriad... if a cable goes down the traffic gets rerouted and gets snarled up.

Think about it like the M25 on Friday night. Things just grind to a halt at times!

hulababy · 17/05/2011 22:15

Tis very very slow again tonight.

HauntedLittleLunatic · 17/05/2011 22:11

Pip...

2 (or more documents) make up a web page. One makes it look pretty called a stylesheet. The other contains the words.

Yesterday the style sheet wasn't loading but the words were...giving the effect you describe.

piprabbit · 17/05/2011 22:03

When my MN was going funny yesterday, it looked like it had lost all the sexy formatting and alignments. Just had everything in a long list down the left-hand side of the page, no pictures or anything.
