Snail site speed?

[Flummery]

Still getting it slow Ben. Also just lately I find that when I click on first unread, it stays on the first post and I have to scroll down. Don't want to damage me scrolling finger!

Very sloooooow for me too!

So, erm why do we need 'guests' then? Apologies if this is a bit dumb/ old fashioned or I've got the wrong end of the stick.

I was raised to join and pay for what I want in life- I give my knowledge/opinion freely to other members- should they be interested; not to be scanned by marketing firms or freeloaders. Hell, it's free to join and you don't have to register anything but an e-mail address.

I could be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off mark here but I don't think they're all people just having a nose around. Yup there will be a few of the 'Guests' number that are peeps having a look round the fab site, but I think alot are also search engines. i.e. when you do a google search on say, parsnips (hee hee, sorry couldn't resist )and it brings up GYO as a result, it's showing on here as a guest

Well, it's now doing the 'first unread' thing ok but it's still painfully slow.

Better than last night but still pretty darned slow here too.

Took me ages just to load this thread!

Seemed very slow yesterday, I gave up & not much better today. I wasn't sure if it was because a lot of members were online at the same time or a problem with the site.

I'm finding it a bit better now than it was yesterday, thank heavens!

Very slow.....takes ages to go from page to page.

Mine's 'running' at a crawl. It took me the best part of five minutes just to connect and I was about to give up when it managed it. It's taking a very long time to open each topic that I want to read too.

Hi everyone, We've turned a few dials, flicked a few switches and pushed a few buttons and the site's now running as normal... Apologlies for the brief 'snail-loading-speed' of the site.

Cheers,

Dave
