Yes it is definitely slower than previously, and seems to be getting a little slower each time I visit.

PS
OK I submitted this reply some minutes ago and the thing just hung there waiting for woodworkforums.
I stopped it to add this edited post script.
I would estimate a 3-4 minute hang-up. Will now try again and I'll time it this time

Stopped timing at 6 minutes and 30 seconds with no result
will try again

Very slow response for WWF site to open: from 20:18:12 to 20:27:39.

Went straight to here: 20:36:39.

I had the database error message from about 8:00 pm until approx 9:00 pm.

EDIT - ADDED INFO: This post took a little over 8 minutes to actually post.

I had a "Database error message" come up tonight. Eventually got in after about an hour.

Also, recently I'm being logged out when I try to go to a post or sub forum when I first log in. In fact clicking on the link to this post logged me out. Once I log back in the 2nd time it seems to be fine though.

I'm using Firefox.

Cheers

Please note that although the forums are back up there are still problems. Our guru Steven and the site host staff are working on it.

Pac man and Scribbly Gum, I have deleted a number of duplicate posts you have made.

Hi All,
I've been on & off The Forums all Day, but have not encountered any problems of any kind.
I have not done any Post Reply's, but have read quite a few posts, & looked at Photos.
Have been shown how to do a speed thing, but can't remember now, but I'm happy with what I've got, as I see no change, & it is just as good as ever.
Regards,
issatree.

Fair bit of Swahili going on I'd reckon

It's been very slow navigating the site today and I have got Database error about 3 times now and couldn't go anywhere.

I will update this thread when the providers send us confirmation it's fixed.

Just took a little while to load my last thread, not too long but a little slower than normal. 5 photos attached.

"Database Error" - don't know what time as I had given up after several attemps to connect to the Forum and just left it. I believe that this week has been getting worse day by day. Today was the first time that I could not connect to the site at all on several occasions.
