Evening Slowdown

I've noticed that trying to access the site between 8.30 and 10p.m lately is becoming virtually impossible. It's especially bad tonight and I keep giving up and coming back to it later, only to find it's still taking ages to load a page or the connection times out. Anyone else having problems?

Also it keeps booting me out when i try to log in. It took 7 or 8 attempts. Very annoying and makes the ironing pile mountain look less frustrating

Yes, it's terrible!

Sorry Maryz Hmm

WorraLiberty · 05/03/2013 22:51

It's speeding up for me now but I suspect that's because so many people have logged off and given up Sad

I am to cross about it (almost) to post.

And the ad for core blood banking is doing my blood pressure no good at all.

Bon soir, & goodbye.

So glad you understand my need for MN Smile

LadyBeagleEyes · 06/03/2013 20:50

Slow again for me tonight.

AnyFucker · 06/03/2013 21:25

Doing it again < grrr >

LineRunner · 06/03/2013 22:01

Unusable again. Giving up.

It's been unusable for three nights.

BarbaraWoodlouse · 06/03/2013 22:11

Yes bad for me too. There's not even any football on tonight Hmm

Dreadful again tonight, earlier than 8p.m. and it's still pretty slow even now.

Every other site I regularly use was fine the past few nights - but MN wasn't just slow, it had ground to a halt.

LineRunner · 07/03/2013 12:33

(Christ that sounds like I use The Other Place - I was actually thinking of The Guardian online, honest)

Me too. I just went elsewhere and everything else on the web was running fine. When I posted past midnight it was still diabolical and kept crashing, with the notice appearing that 'Mumsnet was offline' about 5 times in a 30 minute period.

Well, tip top so far tonight! Smile

Thank you.

Seems to have been fast enough today, but we haven't got to the witching hours yet. Unfortunately instead this evening it kept logging me out, then going offline again and freezing so that I lost a long post.

LadyBeagleEyes · 08/03/2013 19:15

It keeps logging out for me too.
Is it because of those bastard spambots though?
HQ seem to be fighting battles on all sides at the moment.
Bless their cotton socks.
