Moderators, Folks - Website Sloooooow?

[Classic Finn]

Just had to ask, have you been experiencing a very slow Website here?
From our end its very very slow and Ive checked all possible on my end.

It has been now for a few days..

It takes forever to changes pages and post ...

It's working OK down here in Flada too... The only time I ever have a problem is when I have been running the computer for many days, WindowsXP slows down a lot sometimes. It seems some programs are just memory hogs and don't release the memory they were using even if you quit the program? A reboot always cures it though. Microsoft Internet Explorer is particularly bad about doing it... So I use Firefox and Opera browsers instead. I hope it speeds up for ya over there.

It was slow for me for about two minutes last night, and then it cleared up.

Ok Moderators

This getting to be frustrating.. what can be done? Ive called our cable tech service and all is ok on my computer and all other websites but here
it takes me a loooooong time to get a post up or even to change over from one page to the other

What can be done? Its worse not than it was this morning.

Heikki,

Can you do some testing?

Surf to a few other phpBB sites, in this country, and tell me if they are slow. Try pamplingrove.com and camp-cook.com for starters.

Then try with a different browser,

then try with a different computer.

It could be your ISP, a cross Atlantic cable, who knows...

Maybe you could run one of Brick's speed tests. Brick, where's that test again?

That's sorta slow, but that could be cause you are crossing the atlantic.

Try the Opera browser... see if that makes a difference...
