Ron Gray Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Not sure how many others are experiencing problems but for the last week I've noticed a dramatic slow down in the response from both the forum and the messaging system. I've just typed a message and from pressing the Send button to getting confirmation took 2 minutes. I also sent a message earlier today and it was sent 3 times despite me not refreshing the screen. A couple of buddies have been experiencing the same issues too, and before anyone asks my internet connection speeds are >70 Mbits down, circa 18 Mbits up and it is only this site that I'm having problems with.

kevin b Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Lucky you Ron. Where I live nobody will guarantee me more than 3.5Mbits down and 1.0Mbits up and yes I have been having problems with the site for a week or so. Sometimes it doesn't load at all.

Andy Stephenson Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I've also noticed a dramatic slowdown on this site. It sometimes more than a minute for the site to put up a post and around 15 seconds to download a page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme White Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yes, same. For around 1 or 2 weeks now, very slow compared to perhaps a month ago when there was no issue. It only seems an issue during the day though. As I write this early hours it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Instantaneous opening of post, 4 minutes from submitting reply to it actually refreshing with reply in place. If you hit refresh before it has done it itself, the reply gets duplicated / triplicated….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here Ron - taking at least 40 seconds to 1 minute to make a post. Summats up, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 @Engine Doctorthats the problem, we all suspect it’s something to do with our ‘gear’ whereas the problem is at the server end, that’s the reason I put the post here, to raise awareness! I do get occasional messages from Cloudflare telling me that the problem is on modelflying.co.uk and of course I do immediately check other websites to confirm that the problem is only related to this ‘site! I will keep posting on this thread whenever I have a problem, hopefully this will get picked up by the techies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Griff Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yep, hamburger option still refuses to work. At 5 notifications at the moment unable to clear. How high will this number go I wonder...using cheapo Tesco internet phone but signal hear is "poor"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Manuel Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Slow for me on all devices. On Android phone, the hamburger menu just makes the screen darken but does nothing else. Edited May 29, 2022 by Gary Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stephenson Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 It seems to be running OK right now but during the week it was frustratingly slow, could this be due to the forum running on a new server with heavy demands on it during office hours.

Mike T Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Anyone remember the old RCMF forum? Whenever issues like this cropped up, the answer was always "everything's fine here, the problem must be at your end!" ? PS - this post appeared almost instantaneously, so everything's fine here - the problem must be your end...

Ron Gray Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 I'm off to bed, it's just taken 10 minutes to post two replies! (probably another 4 for this one but I won't wait to see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
