Forum (and website) outages and performance (April 2025)

[admin]

Our service providers seem to be having some problems getting to grips with their new systems - this seems to include responding to (certainly replying to) support tickets.

Everything is under review....

It is taking forever to load the forum page. Hope they figure something out soon

Thanks for the update, SG. Same here, pages are crawling and I've had a few that just timed out completely. Good to know it's down to the hosting side rather than something at our end.

Hopefully the providers sort their support queue out soon, because a ticket that sits unanswered doesn't help anyone. If it drags on, it might be worth asking them for a status page or a rough timeline, even if it's only to know whether it's days or weeks.

Appreciate all the work you put in keeping this place running.

The train left on this issue a very long time ago, and if you read the other posts and announcements in this section it should be obvious that things have changed a lot and the post today is completely irrelevant and totally inappropriate.

In fact, waking up long-passed threads isn't at all appropriate and there seems to be too much of this going on in the last few weeks. It maybe works if there's something very specific to what was discussed, but from what I can see the new posts that are just about all general summaries of previous comments/advice.

Is there some king of competition going on with someone here?
