Sooo Slowwww

[tara20]

Why is new AB so slow today? Does anybody else have this problem? And I have the 'Have Your Say' results on the homepage although I haven't voted and the questions still (unanswered) appear on the other pages. Maybe it needs a kick start. Do you think if I give it a kick, it'll start ? ;-))

its so slow i could deliver my answer in person and get back home before it was shown on the screen !!!
maybe the tech team are having a tea break or they could have popped down to the Hawthorns to watch the Baggies take on the wolves !

I'm really struggling to open each question, my post took ages to send! I have to keep closing the window and trying again!

Same problem here, whether in the old AB or the new one.... and now the new one isn't working when I use Firefox, I had to get in through the side door using IE....

The new *improved* AB (now there's any oxymoron) has the strangest layout I have ever seen too - lots of >>>>> and degree signs and no pretty pictures or orange rectangles - do you think they forgot to put up the colour filters this morning ?

Morning tara
I know, i thought it might have been the Beta site and so i have signed out of that one, but it is just the same in here, doing some genealogy in another window whilst this site catches up!!!

It's not just new AB - I can't get that: if I try it closes the whole thing down. But it has taken me more that half an hour to get on now. I wish they would sort out the infrastructure before trying to introduce new fancy alternatives.

AB is running slower than a slow thing with all four legs tied together

Morning all!

Thank goodness it`s not just me.

very slow - can have a shave and shower before the next page opens.

It's slower than dial-up, and the beta site is even worse. It's killing this site. I've managed to get on a couple of times, but trying to move topics is so painful I've given up. Really frustrating. It's so hard to believe they've put so much work into the new site and still allow it run so poorly.

Seems very slow on the new AB, so come back on here for a while.

just seeing if I can post without being timed out.

To all posters on my thread(s)

I wanted to give more stars, but it was taking too long!

Please accept theoretical stars all round!!!

Thanks

this is ridiculous, its taking ages and some of my questions and answers, probably this one as well dont appear at all, whats going on???

[Psychick]

I dont think the problem is the new version as the old one would be as bad as this from time to time too. It is a problem with the whole site. I bet a snail could run a marathon in the time it takes to load a page!

Ed, any chance of at least letting us know why its slow or a time line for when its going to be fixed?
