Sorry techs, but at 12 noon it is taking around 30 seconds to load a thread and 42 seconds from pressing post to message being shown

[Twiglett]

and that's just one count.

The site is really too slow at the moment for it to work.

YMT I am shocked at your statement

[prim]

Dang forgot to add

No, but I like being called young!

its very slow now 20.41

i huess this is busi=yness

too slow for me

i have firefox

Can we get rid of the AOL broad band ad - it really is screwing things up for me! Taking about 30 secs for a page to load!

In fact, forget it - I'll install adblocker.

it just crashed on me when i was replying to tech.

one of the worst ads recently was that one with the cartoon chimps on oi couldnt mn at all because evertime it appeared my pc crashed

Look, we know it's slow, we're very sorry but we are working on it, please bear with us. .

(We really are working on it honest - throwing cash at new servers like there's no tomorrow - and dear YMT is totally on the case so it really should get better soon because he's v clever and spends a lot of time thinking about ad performance and stuff. It's not that anyone's broken anything either - it's that MN's getting bigger and busier and we're just scampering to keep up, what with being lowly amateurs and having no big owner or government grants and all that .)

So please bear with us. A million apologies again - blame me, blame me. I'm usually to blame.

(Blame me)

it's so slooooooow

seems to be waiting for ad.doubleclick.net (or something)

I too have an adblocker but its usually disabled for MN (not that i ever click on a MN ad but it feels wrong!),

can't we just close the doors?

or how about this .. let's have a grammar test before you can post

aww g'wan Justine, you know you wants to

(I personally think it all started going wrong when you stopped locking Techs in the shed .. I think you need to put a shed in your spacious new office and lock the Techs in it)

Just to say that I sympathise bigtime with Justine and YMT, currently being on the receiving end of similar complaints at work. And I'm not the really tecchie tecchie so I really can't do anything about it, except make a damned nuisance of myself.

How slow is slow though, honestly. I am using Mumsnet on a 33kbs dial up connection (not being able to get broadband in my neck of the woods) and it's perfectly usable. Are we all just too darned impatient these days?

I'll download that plug-in YMT (if it's any use for a dial-up connection that is).

jusdtine i did ask about mn numbers recently and unless you secretly answered while my back was turned you didsnt reveal your stats

can I say that I have met YMT and if you want to know what he looks like, look at the third picture on his profile, and that is EXACTLY what he looks like behind his ENORMOUS monitor. EXACTLY. It is a terrifying likeness.

heard a rumour that mn hq were negotiating a deal powering the hadron collider via posting energy or was that vice versa

What a fab thread. First I get called young, and then Justine calls me dear. Hmmm. I bet she wants something.

And as for you MP, that's utter crap. We look completely different - I wear glasses!

well you arte quite sexy and assertive

"It's not that anyone's broken anything either "

Thank the good lord lidl and his reasonably priced catfud.

I logged onto facebook earlier this week and the whole thing crashed.

I was expecting blame here too, tbh, but thankfully YMT took one for me the team, so to speak.

i think this yetmoretech is a bit of a loose cannon sweetie pie enigma clever bloke

lol

It's a gremlin that weighs very little.

in fact, it is akchully a little know fact that gramlins are loyal only to MN, and are not found elsewhere. they came about because of not named people and rockets!
