When using the forum it is often terminally slow, despite me having a good internet connection and bandwidth. Has this got anything to do with the 3 advertising banners on the forum website, which show 'rolling' images as opposed to static ones.
Any chance you would make these static, or at least get rid of 2 of them (they all show the same thing)?

I was watching the bottom left status bit on my browser, its the actual adserver bit that seems to take a while to load. It might need a size 11.5 wide up its backside.

I don't think I've had a page properly load up all afternoon. To the extent I've not seen my avitar or my sig photo once today.
Forget seeing smilies too. Yet I always seem to get the iritating animated adverts load... Go figure.
By the time I posted this I'm still waiting for the green stats bar to even get to 50%

Imurg, that sounds more like an issue with your local server exchange. Its a very common problem.

evening all
I agree its been a real pain especially today
unfortunately its a company wide problem that we (ie GM) does suffer with more than other IPC sites. Upping server capacity is an ongoing proejct and I hope we will see an improvement soon

Not the best of welcomes if you visit the site and cant even view the forum though.
Something needs to be done, at times the site grinds to a halt and is unuseable.

The site has seemed a lot nippier over the past couple of days 
EDIT: Although this post took some time...

fingers crossed!

Sometimes I wish it was just slow. I've lost posts tonight due to the excessive slowness, and then IE just stopped and I had to close it. On re-opening, I can't even get the forum loaded at all for about 50% of the time.
I know it's being fixed. But I'm ticked off! Especially as I can't get out to play at the moment.

Its good that GM are aware of this problem and are actively taking steps to address the problem. The slow load times probably put a lot of people off posting or even joining the forum, which is a real shame.

It's frankly shocking for me sometimes. The forum hardly loads. Why not just move the forum to a 'proper' server?

Its taken me 10 mins or so to get to this far.
Visited other sites to see if the problem was at this end but loading other sites took no time at all.
I accept the traffic this site generates will cause problems but hopefully GM will solve the problem.
