Bob Cotsford Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 As per the title, has anyone else found the site to be extremely slow loading pages for the last few days? I've tried company desktop, company laptop, home desktop and tablet but they all seem to spend a long time 'waiting for www.modelflying.co.uk'.

kc Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes, very slow today - I thought it might be my computer as HobbyKing also seems slow, but other sites (BBC News etc) seem OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yes - same here. A friend has said that he is getting page not found and can't access the site at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejay Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 just got onto site after several hours of "site not found" messages and it is very slow, logging in took 5 mins and posting anything or swapping pages is taking mins instead of seconds, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Very, very slow yesterday. Today it took ages to log in. Only on this site though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 To be fair, or rather unfair, this website has always been slow! I regularly got dropped pages or slow responses irespective of what browser I used; Firefox, IE or Chrome has made no difference. This week, however, the problem has distinctly worsened. Everywhere else in the t'internet world works fine though. Edited By John F on 19/11/2014 12:52:27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Sorry folks. A new server so the tech people told me this morning, they're looking into it in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Clarkson Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yep, the site is always slow which is a real shame and puts me off sometimes but today its even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yep, it's the same for me too. Like many others I thought I had a computer problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Site has been very good for me since changing to Firefeox, bur has been exceedingly slow this morning. Had another go and saw David's message about the new server. Isn't technology wonderful. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not sure about the "always slow" comments above... It's slow at the mo, which D.A. has explained, but 99% of the time its completely fine and on a par with any other sites I access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's been slow for a few weeks for me but a lot worse than usual at the moment. We've all experienced slow responses on occasions - as evidenced by the frequent multiple posts where people hit the submit button again when nothing happens.

Andy Green Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 At least I'm now getting emails for my posts, haven't had any for weeks. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 yes, the site is usually a little slower than most sites to load a page - that can't be helped by all the animated graphics - but this verges on unusable. I'm certain it will improve once the techies tweak the server settings and put another couple of hamsters in the treadmills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Blackburn Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yep, I could login but can't get to my albums at all at the moment. Going to give it up for today and try again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The site is always slow, an average of eight seconds to load any page. It's like being back in the dial up age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Etherton Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi It's always been slower than most other sites other than Hobbyking which is even slower. Not noticed any thing special lately on Safari. Robin👋👋👋👋👋👋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
