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?

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!

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

Now the fast flowing bickering may commence...

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

MissAnnersley · 20/01/2013 20:57

Really slow again. A total pain.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 20/01/2013 21:00

duende · 20/01/2013 21:01

Very slow for me as well :(

BonkeyMollocks · 20/01/2013 21:01

GetOrf · 20/01/2013 21:02

Really slow, and often is.

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 20/01/2013 21:03

HQ please give tech a poke and get it sorted, dh has had an early night and i am bored!!

wewereherefirst · 20/01/2013 21:11

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.

SweetSeraphim · 20/01/2013 21:22

Yeah I'm getting a bit pissed off with it as well Angry

Sorry to moan, but what on earth is actually wrong with it?

Lilyloo · 20/01/2013 21:31

So slow it timed out before my post came on!! Which was incidentally complaining how slow mn is generally :)

DoItToJulia · 20/01/2013 21:35

Yeah, it is painfully slow, might have to call it a night, this is no fun!

WorraLiberty · 20/01/2013 21:59

Why is it fine in the morning, when people want me to do stuff and talk to them?!

When every one is in bed and i'm bored it's slower than slow thing from slowville.

S'up with the evenings, come on tech?!

Apologies, folks. We are on the case.

And re the mornings/evenings thing: evenings (and lunchtimes) are our busiest periods, so it's logical that if things are going to slow down at all, they're going to slow down most obviously when the most people are on Mumsnet.

I know that the Tech team are working on improvements, though, so hopefully, the slowness problem should be sorted very soon.

SweetSeraphim · 21/01/2013 10:40

It's still awful this morning.

DoItToJulia · 21/01/2013 10:44

Still slow. Is it because. We are all on a snow day, bored and clogging it up?

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 21/01/2013 12:44

It's even worse today!!!

I think maybe the 2013 gin budget needs to be moved to the 2013 new server budget Wink

OhYouBadBadKitten · 21/01/2013 19:51

is it those pesky ads again?
tricky this evening.
