Trackpins is getting an odd error message when trying to log into the site. He can view the site fine but when he attempts to login he gets a "Website not responding" message.

I was wondering if anyone else overseas had gotten this message at some point and if so are you also on a dial-up connection as he is.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

I'm probably OT, but :

I'm on cable...No errormessages, but it takes me ages to move from one page to another ... the site looks very slow last couple of days (since last saturday I think).

Just to let you know.

NB : The new gallery does work at normal speed... it's just the forums, features, homepage etc.

Hi JIm

Once I'm on-line with the ISP, there's no problem reaching Armorama.

All the best

I'm on a dialup but sometimes have a problem getting onto the site. Sometimes the forums are very slow, or occasionally I have to try 2 or 3 times to get a page to open. I don't get any error message, just the page doesn't open. It isn't a major problem, just now and then.

I too have been having slow down problems with Armorama over the past few days. As I write this now it is taking quite a while do load between pages - about 30+ seconds in some cases.

My net connection is ADSL and everywhere else I have been on the net this morning is fine.
Time is 9.38am GMT.

I've been having similar problems as Martin & Lee (ADSL conection). Opening forum pages has often taken 2 or 3 tries for a while now, but the main page has been real slow to open since Thursday/Friday last week. At first I put it down to problems caused by the recent hurricane (server is on the east coast, I belive?), but the trouble is ongoing.
