Is it just my PC or is Mumsnet slower lately?

Pages are taking ages to load/refresh....

I may end up internet shopping while I'm waiting and will have to ask Mnet to fit the bill for any Jimmy Choos I may order.....

Yay! It's faster!

CrackerOfNuts · 18/05/2008 21:59

Oh yeah I know we can refresh like that, but I could have sworn we had a refresh button by where is says add, watch, flip etc.

I am losing my mind.

There was one before wasn't there ?

CrackerOfNuts · 18/05/2008 21:55

Am I going mad, or do we not have a refresh button anymore ?

I think they're all holed up in the shed, drinking vodka and having a great old party.

They're definitely not watching us or interested in all our moaning!

twinsetandpearls · 18/05/2008 21:51

drives me mad, I also shop whilst I wait for the pages to load, sometimes I give up and do something else.

Sidge · 18/05/2008 21:48

It's driving me BANANAS!!!!

I may even have to resort to talking to DH...

QuintessentialShadows · 18/05/2008 21:47

I seem to have worked it out!

Yippi!

You havent seen the last of me!

I increased the security settings in IE, but ENABLED video streaming in ads. Most of these norwegian ads are with videos. I kept MN as a trusted site, but enabled security and kept protected mode ON.

I have disabled firewall and parental control for my childrens log in in McAfee.... Shall try and enable it again and see what happens.

Argh SO SLOW today grrr.

I'll post this and then check back tomorrow as I cannot be arsed with MN any more today.

The Adblocker thing says it's for firefox. What is firefox? I think we have internet explorer. I know nothing of these things and do not want to start messing with the puter as DH will get his "what have you been doing now?" look on his face.

And MN towers please hear my cry. If it is these ads doing this then please do something to sort it or I'm going back to talking about the merits of delta pegs on UKCampsite. OK.

I'm loathe to install adblocker because I'm very conscious that that's how MN makes its money but ...this is getting ridiculous. BBC, google, everything else is fine. Seasons change, sea levels rise, tumbleweed rolls past etc while I wait for a page to load.

Off to redecorate the entire house and do my nails while I wait for my post to appear now...

SaintGeorge · 18/05/2008 21:38

Ouch!

I haven't had any problems on MN but other sites sometimes run a bit slow so I downloaded the firefox add-on south linked to...but NOW MN is slow.

So is it the firefox add-on doing something strange or have the MN problems just finally caught up with me?

Carmenere · 18/05/2008 21:37

That was YetMoreTech, who seemed to get a little bit tetchy about the whole thing. OriginalTech is not around any more but surely there is someone called BigTech who could be helpful?

dramaqueen · 18/05/2008 21:34

God it has just taken over 1 minute to load this thread. All other sites are loading really quickly, so I know that it's only Mumsnet. I can't be doing with this.

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 18/05/2008 21:31

Make it quicker, otherwise I'm flouncing to Babycentre (or whatever it's called).

QuintessentialShadows · 18/05/2008 21:27

ooooh, I remember in the days I was working for a laaaarge internet media firm, and there was this fussball tournament we had to attend (all in good spirit of course) and the doubleclick girls attended with t-shirts saying "Click" where one could imagine their nipples were..... So in essence, doubleclick ... Tasty.... [hmmm]

sorry for that piece of nonsensical trivia!

I am still tearing my hair out, btw.

southeastastra · 18/05/2008 21:27

tortoiseSHELL · 18/05/2008 21:13

I can actually load the page now I've got adblocker - I know MN wanted us to see the ads, but I couldn't see them because they were crashing the page, couldn't load any MN pages!
