Hi, sorry this continues to be an issue. We are looking at a couple of things that should help. Is anyone else seeing the "waiting for skim" or similar message when a page is slow?

WoofToYouTooLady · 13/09/2011 18:43

''waiting for a1 twinm''. or summat like that

MN IS BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

handsomeharry · 13/09/2011 18:28

I've spent ages trying to read threads again tonight and have decided just to give up.

When I click to open MN I get a blank page for ages. Eventually I get a blue advert for, I think, a babies book. It is taking up to ten to 15 minutes to open up AIBU. Primary Ed is quicker but still not loading normally.

Even if I manage to open a thread I have the same problem clicking on to the next page.

I know when I click 'post' that will also take minutes instead of seconds.

i really want to stab tech in the eye, and tech - i love you, but this shit is GETTING ON MY TITS

Feenie · 13/09/2011 18:00

Still slow tonight. Totally sick of it - no MNing again tonight. Sad

ggirl · 13/09/2011 17:41

I gave up mnetting last night cos it was so slow.
Still really slow today!

''waiting for rskim resources''

hiddenhome · 13/09/2011 17:24

Is the site still running slow for everyone?

I'm struggling again today Sad

oldsilver · 13/09/2011 16:54

Tech you were asking last night what adverts, if any, was it happening on - my laptop doesn't do adverts and on the pc it has locked up at the moment with the MN babies guide banner flashing away happily and is only showing up to the purple "advanced search" button. Rest of the screen blank. I am on another tab doing this!

Hope that helps Smile

CroissantNeuf · 13/09/2011 16:38

Please can you fix this. Please.

I'm having to keep 2 MN windows open so that one is loading whilst I read the other. I just keep giving up though as its so annoying being faced with a blank screen and a page that won't load.

I know I sound desperate but I'm at home with a broken ankle so MN is much needed at the mo! Smile

deemented · 13/09/2011 15:57

Is there any solution to this yet?

bigTillyMint · 13/09/2011 08:03

Yes, and loading very long threads is the worstSad

It's still running really slow for me - it's really hit and miss. Sometimes, like now, it's fine, but others it takes absolutely ages to load a page, and even then it doesn't do it properly. I keep having to refresh.

Hi, Sorry you're having troubles with slow responses. We are looking at it currently.

Tortington · 12/09/2011 21:42

same here - i was going to actually ask if there is a reason why fb always loads fast but mn is rubbish?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/09/2011 21:38

Having the same issues as Feenie. Is it a virus?

oldsilver · 12/09/2011 21:36

Ditto what Feenie said ... it's basically trying to do anything, it hangs or half loads or just blank white page and that's active convos, refresh, I'm on. It improves a little then locks for 10 minutes.

Feenie · 12/09/2011 21:32

Tonight, from about 6 o'clock, it's been whenever I tried to load Active Convos, Primary Ed or Threads I'm On, etc - anything I want to do, basically. It's slightly better right now, but has been unusable for most of the evening.

Haven't noticed any ads in particular, but that would be because most of the time the page hasn't loaded enough to see any adverts.

It's like a Dial up connection from the nineties!

Hello
Sorry to hear this again (and sorry to be late to the thread)
Can anyone say if there's a specific ad that's loading when the site does load?
Thanks
MN Towers

Feenie · 12/09/2011 21:12

It's so slow that there is no point in MNing at all tonight.

Why haven't MNHQ come on to explain this today?

oldsilver · 12/09/2011 20:00

I have arrived!

oldsilver · 12/09/2011 19:48

... still going round...

CroissantNeuf · 12/09/2011 19:46

This is a real PITA. Its just taken me 10mins to get to this page.

I keep getting blank white pages (or sometimes just the top of the MN page) whilst the little circle thing goes round..and round...and round.... implying that the page is loading. But it doesn't
