Slow and error pages?

126 replies

MrsMackesy · 12/05/2021 14:03

Yesterday evening the site was very slow to load pages and at one point was showing not available and error notices. This afternoon the pages are still very slow to load. I'm on a laptop and using Google Chrome.

I give up - another not posted, try again but both post. Also a double post on another thread which now isn't letting me post at all. Argh.

Yep same here - so slow to post, people thinking their post hasn't uploaded, so post again.

On a Mac, Safari.

Ha, as if to illustrate my point. Duplicate post alert.

You watch, there'll be another along in a minute or two...

I don't see any duplicate posts but the site is really struggling. Accessing on an up to date iPhone.

SciFiScream · 12/05/2021 15:39

(it's taken me 20 minutes to get that ^^ to post) Sad

GCAcademic · 12/05/2021 15:49

I'm having exactly the same problem. Posts not posting.

AnneLovesGilbert · 12/05/2021 15:49

Same. Really bad now. iPhone 8, safari, site not the app.

Keep seeing multiples of the same posts so it must be an issue for others.

Mummylin · 12/05/2021 15:49

Also on Safari 14.4.2 on iPad. Cannot post message.

LOL me too. Not making any more posts until it's cured.

Hello, hello! Thanks for letting us know that there's a problem here. We've just had a whole bunch of reports about duplicate posts and duplicate threads, so we're aware something's up!

Really sorry for any inconvenience this is (clearly!) causing. We're on the case and will hopefully have everything running smoothly again fairly soon.

GCAcademic · 12/05/2021 16:00

Wow, my post reposted itself over an hour later!
