MN operating at 1990s dial-up speed…

[LimeRedBanana]

…why?

It’s 2021. Isn’t there a better platform?

Thank you for this thread, OP. I had been blaming my WiFi.

Very slow and cranky, and has been like it all evening

(the site, as well as me)

I was expecting it to be slow tonight, I'm sure others were as well.

I don't understand how the internet works. I thought it might be like GPS and was blaming my poor connection on too many rainclouds in the sky.

Anyone else imagining mnhq operating like a 1950's telephone exchange?
'Ah look Dorismumsnet, Trainspotting is trying to open this thread, we'll have to plug the line in between the two as soon as we've finished our tea break'
'Right on it Normamumsnet, we're slightly behind tonight because we've only got enough staff in to connect 10 posters'

On holiday and thought it was the terrible airbnb internet! A while back the site would go down completely every sat, so maybe it‘s a alight improvement.

Slow bandwidth isn‘t a good sign. Two forums I used to be part of had the same errors MN has for around 2-3 yrs and then abruptly closed down due to unpaid server fees.

It’s really strange such a large site continually has so many tech issues!

It is really s..l..o..w..

Slowwwwwwwwww

Yes, I noticed this today. Although it hasn't happened for me for ages though (a few months ago it was getting ridiculous how slow it was).

Thought it was me. Like when I first joined on my PC and dial up

More weirdness: 2 people have posted on a thread I'm on, but when I click on them, I'm brought to the first page of the thread. And mine is the last post its showing.

What's going on?

Trying to force us all onto "Premium" perchance...

It's just MN not your wifi. Other sites are loading at normal speeds.

I'm premium and it's doing it for me.

Some threads won't load just constant whirling slowly..

The site is becoming unusable and it's very frustrating.

Yes, I agree. I’ll go and do something productive instead 🤣🤣

This sucks, again.

I’m on a 30 day FB ban, no MN.

Suppose I better go clean the kitchen or something.

Ffs MNHQ.

It’s awfully slow still. And I’m getting an error message. I’m going to have to clean my house at this rate.

I thought it was my phone FFS.

It's crap. Same yesterday too

Hush your mouth, no need for silly talk...

Yep. It's gone glacial again. Almost unusable; sort it out, MNHQ.

It's awful - I've lost so much time this weekend trying to figure out what's wrong with my internet when it's just down to MN!

It's forcing me onto Reddit & the dregs of YouTube.

Same here again - it’s driving me mad. What’s going on?
