To use one of my favourite phrases..."I've had no problems"!  :laugh:

Heart Internet (who provides our Server) have their own page at which they record any problems with their equipment:

I note that some connectivity issues have been reported today.

This is the actual message I get... (far too often these last few days).

''The connection has timed out         

The server at threetownsforum.co.uk is taking too long to respond.

          moments.

          connection.

I was just about to use your favorite phrase and add this smiley  D) to wind-up Fester.

However, when I submitted the post I received the same message Fester received.  >:(

Heart seem to experience problems between 0800 and 0900, and I have experienced some issues this morning trying to get pages up. But I was on a lot yesterday doing housekeeping, which requires a pretty steady connection, and it wasn't dropped once.

I'm finding the Forum is running very slow when posting and moving between pages.   Sometimes the wait is so long that I get the no connection message.  Even re-booting does not seem to help.   Some of the pages with loads of photographs are too slow for words.    :rage:

At the moment, it's running fine for me, and has been since this morning's slowness.  But those links are interesting, M.  Some nasty people out there.

I'm getting some pop-up adverts from Travel Republic on the Forum.  Should this be happening or are they Spyware or something else?
