    I am using a satellite connection with Firefox using a company called Clearnetworks and apart from the normal satellite latency mine is firing along nicely. I have this program for which I paid for http://www.regcure.com/ and it does a scan and clean every so often which seems to speed things up a bit.

    I'm with Optus and I have been getting regular pages cancelled for the past day or so, but only on this site. Everywhere else seems as normal.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Default Same problem

    I'm having the same problem. Realllllly slow, or page-not-found/timeout error. Only happening on this site. I'm using ubeaut.com.au, and I'm with TPG on ADSL2+

    Yep - giving me the Tom Tits - been like it for the past 48 hrs or so---- Vista Sp1, Optus, Firefox.
    Another thing I've noticed, but can't really define is the apparent disappearance of the thread I have just viewed from the "New Posts" and prior posts. As I said, I can't be specific but there's something amiss

    This should hopefully explain the disappearing posts

    Unhappy

    See my post of yesterday!
    This site is still really slow when loading pages after initial login. Frequently receiving Error message "Network Time Out - Server at www.wodworkforums.com is taking too long to respond."
    I'm on Bigpond, Windows XP (with all SP's), & Firefox 3.0.4. All other sites appear OK!

    I've been suffering too for a week, or more - IE says "cannot open web site", so I did rudimentary research and came up with the suggestion that a firewall maybe the trouble - NOT my computer but the host. This is the third attempt to post to this thread tonight.

    soth

    ps: Hooray, It worked, and on my 700th post too.

    I have been having this problem for a few days now also.

    I am logged into woodworkforums.com, using Firefox and my ISP is Westnet (256k ADSL, really need to go faster though). All other sites are loading no worries at all (wife would have told me if there were problems with facebook)

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Interesting - just now downloaded Firefox and the whole shebang has speeded-up. I wonder if this post will enter correctly.

    Edit: Hmmm. Well that tells me something.

    Your browser really shouldn't make any difference.
