Every other Mumsnet page loading reeeeealllly slowly - don't think it's my computer.

[BalloonSlayer]

I come on to Mumsnet, look at a couple of pages, then click to another (no particular page) and it takes an AGE to load.

I don't think it's my computer exactly - if I click onto, say the BBC it loads immediately, then back to Mumsnet and it's slow again. If I try and try eventually it will load at normal speed and I get a couple of normal speed page changes till it does it again.

Could it be a new advert? Has anyone else had this?

OK. Did you notice which ads were showing when it finally loaded?

nope, i don't think it is linked to ads now

yes, changing a page/commenting takes an age

and it's definitely MN problem, have logged in on 2 differing browsers and is still slow

Yep - I thought I had got a nasty virus too!! First page loads ok, then next page takes ages and ages (actually quicker to log out and log in again!!). I am quite relieved that I'm not the only one

my screen is blank when it happens, white over, so can't tell which ads are playing, HelenMNHQ

I have noticed it says connecting to ads2.mumsnet.com and even b.scorecard.research.com if that helps. Getting so fed up I may have to disappear for a day or so....... I also use Firefox - would this be the problem??

That P&O ad on the MN home page doesn't even fit on my laptop screen, it goes off the edges.

Google chrome here.

aha!

just noticed 'waiting for skimresources...' on chrome

'waiting for cdnmn' or similar on firefox

OK. We'll try to work out what's occurring.

Do let us know if it gets any better.

it seems to be better - what did you do to tech Helen?

less more gin?

More whispering - it DOES seem better - fingers crossed.

not brilliant though, but better...

Actually DameMargot I agree - it STILL isn't brilliant is it - back to the drawing board please MNHQ

Ive got this too

Still?

All ok again here.

am not convinced, i bet you've let Tech go by now haven't you?

Been doing it to me too, just happened a couple of minutes ago.

Oh, thank goodness it's not just me! My wise words posts are taking ages to send as well. Also getting the white screen.

nah, is bad again this morning

Worse this morning.

Seriously contemplating returning to real life.

BalloonSlayer- but...real life is just as slow and frustrating! And there you don't get wonderful halloween themed emotions! [hsmile]

We are sorry that the site is being so sluggish. Tech are aware, and we will try to sort it out asap.

Mine's fine today.
