What's wrong with this place?

Post: # 78806Post Jack »

Gidday

I know I am old and getting slow, but at times, especially at night, this site is so slow that it makes me look like lightning. Oft-time I just caint wait long enough to even read whats here.

I also know my computer is a bit like me, old and slow, but it is not anywhere near this slow on other sites and forum.

had me scratching my head for a while.........I know the server is a good fast one - I suspect two things may be responsible - some plonker has grafted in "Statcounter" which I gave up with years ago, as it can slow sites to a crawl
(their servers are always overloaded) - so easy to use one of four different flavours of stats accessed from the website control panel................ :wink:
The other thing that may be slowing it is the positive plethora of Googleads....... but then I may be seen as showing bias there....... :mrgreen:

Must say that I've not had a problem with the speed on here for a good long time... but I do have problems on other sites and forums/fora whatever.

I agree with Shirlz - since the last server change I haven't noticed any slowness on the site - something we used to have a problem with.

Well I am sure Martin has answered the question brilliantly for some but sorry mate I don't understand a word of what you said. It all went right over my head. Like I said I am old and slow so that might be the problem.

But seroiously, it is only this forum and the Irish one that are ever slow to me out of about 6 that I frequent, and this is the slowest by miles, or to be more midren down here kilometres.
