Is MN slow for anyone else?

I'm having a few issues with my internet tonight, but MN seems particularly bad.

Or is it just my fucking annoying piece of shit Internet?

Every bloody night this week Mn has been slow for me. It was early tonight and I am not impressed.

I may have to do RL things like talk to DH when I want to browse S&B and AIBU.

Really slow, and often is.

Very slow for me as well :(

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 20/01/2013 21:00

Jesus what is up with it tonight?!!

MissAnnersley · 20/01/2013 20:57

Really slow again. A total pain.

Is it just Zombie or is it slowing down early tonight?

Well your DH is very clever. Give him a UnMN hug from me please.

Now the fast flowing bickering may commence...

DazR · 19/01/2013 17:22

Fingers crossed I (well actually DH) might have cracked it (for me). DH was rambling about domain names and we found this webpage

www.isitdownrightnow.com/mumsnet.com.html

it gave lots of information/advice and we (my DH!) followed the one to clear the local DNS cache

He went into START then RUN
then he typed cmd (to get command prompt screen)
Then he typed in:
ipconfig /flushdns (and then he hit enter - don't forget space between g and /)

It then displayed a message to say it had successfully flushed the cache
and BINGO - mumsnet is zipping through the pages again... long may it last!

Pudden · 17/01/2013 01:21

dazr mumsnet has been very, very slow for me too for several weeks since getting BT Infinity. Pages take minutes to load and nothing I've done inmpoves it

@Pancakeflipper

Ok, is it time for us to set up a PayPal account and all chuck a £1 in to pay the electric bill or new servers?

Oh it's painful...

So sorry it's a pita. Tech is whipping the tortoises honestly.

Tech is now chasing tortoises through the treacle

What a great mental image I have now! Grin Grin

Isn't it dry January? Have the servers gone dry and they get pissy when it's drinky time?

It's slow, sooooo slow. I had to watch the flipping footie tonight as I could barely access Mn. I was in withdrawal!
