no problem here at all, I expect Dave or Ian will know!

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

Heart Internet (who provides our Server) have their own page at which they record any problems with their equipment:
http://www.webhostingstatus.com/

I note that some connectivity issues have been reported today.

[Fester]

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. 
       


    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.

That is exactly what I have been getting as well !!

[Fester]

So has SCOTT apparently...

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.

I had that all day yesterday, seems OK at the mo.

edit: tell a lie, I'm getting this most of the time now

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.

[Nemesis]

Same problems here-- usually I re-connect, but yesterday evening couldn't.

Still got that b. irritating thing flashing that I have won something top and bottom of the page---Grrrrrrrr :rage:

Another forum that I look at had some problems at the weekend, hopefully none here were!

I'll join in as well, I've had the same problems, I thought it was a problem with my Dongle connection.

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:

[Ian]

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.

[Yorkie]

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

[Ian]

Not sure;  Dave handles ads.
