Pages slow to load and then...site offline!

[SpottyDottie]

This keeps happening over and over again. Not just today but in recent weeks. Its not me, other websites are loading just fine its just mumsnet. Any ideas what it could be? Unless its just all us mumsnetters logging on at once and overloading the servers

I use safari as a browser.

I brought up this subject last week and have had no proper reply. Happens to me on Chrome.

I haven't had it recently at all but tonight it is doing my head in.

On the plus side I'm all up to date with BBC News.

Happening to me on Opera. This happens incredibly regularly, I'm not sure MN is really aware of how poor its site's availability can be.

Happening to me tonight too

I use the app

yep me too. why.

i'm on lappy, firefox.

Sorry about this folks. We've had to do a quick bit of emergency work on the site. It should be OK now for the rest of this evening.

Any threads bigger that 30 odd post it kicks me out of the app completely and if I try to flip a thread on the iPhone app it kicks me out completely, just tried it now, it's still happening.

You forgot to feed the hamster again, didn't you Tech?
