Admins

i am having lots of trouble with this board. 45 seconds plus to access a page. this section shows no posts even tho several are indicated in main menu.
this is not my pc/isp(sky/easynet). i have tried from work same thing(I work for BT and they have a massive connection to internet) and from my mates pc who uses another isp(virgin).I am in the U.K.
Any one else having same problems?

It is indeed painfully slow, Martin. Something needs rebooting, more memorory, or more disk space.

I'm using the OPERA browser on a home PC running Windows XP (+1 GB memory) and a 56k dial-up connection. The Forum pages usually load in 2-3 seconds (including downloading most of the zipped files).

Hi Martin,

I have enjoyed looking over the posts on your website for some time now since I learn just from reading other's questions and replies.
Just recently, it has started taking about 2 minutes for my computer to open this website, or move to another post on this site. However other websites seem to be opening ok. Is this an issue with my computer or your website?
Thank you.

It'll probably take you a few minutes to follow this link!

Merry Christmas

ditto for me, I've almost read 1/2 a book while waiting for a few posts to load (up to 6 minutes at a time)!
See you in the New Year - hopefully Admin have any problems fixed by then.

Thanks oldchippy,
I feel better now thinking it may NOT be my computer.
This website plus the educational links that you have put together for us has been a "Godsend" over the past months and I as well as I'm sure many others here want you to know how much we appreciate your help.
I want to wish a Merry Christmas to you and all the helpful folks at EXCELTIP.COM

Hi all,

I've sent Joseph Rubin a e-mail about this problem. Hopefully he will take a look after Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone

Is it just me or has the server been difficult to access the last few days???
I get errors more than connections lately.

Hello Admins/Moderators,

I'am still having problems with this forum, yesterday i can't access it and always it prompts me with "Server Busy, Please try again, "Network error", "Program Error occured" etc... Is the site under construction? Hope they fix it soon.

Thanks! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
