Anyone else having the same issue? Seems to be the same the last few days. Have tried it on different machines/internet connections and still the same... seems to run ok for 30 seconds and then freeze again.

Is there a thread already about this?

[Jaspersharpe]

slackers and magpie mentioned this yesterday on Twitter but I've had no problems. Strange.

[dave]

no probs here.

[slackline]

Still having problems here, sometimes the page loads, but without any CSS formatting, so its just white background and blue hyperlinks.

This is browsing using Firefox-3.6.3 with various plugins activated (I've noticed AutoPager sometimes messes things up when it tries to do its job, although disabling it doesn't seem to have any effect in this instance).

Works fine with Opera-10.53, and is also ok on my home computer where I've _exactly_ the same FF version and plugins (as I sync between the two computers).

Using it as an excuse to get some work done!

I should say that the different internet connections at work and home I have tried (2 x 8mb broadband + 1 x fibre leased line) have all been provided by BT, but that is the only similarity...

I have to pressed refresh or post or whatever a few times to get it to work but then sometimes it just won't load the page and I get a 404 type page (Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ukbouldering.com). Same issues in IE so not chrome related..

Slack---line - are you with Bollocks Telecom?

[slackline]

@Tris : No at work I'm on JANET and home I'm on Virgin Media.

Had some time-outs under Opera now, but none of the problems of not loading the CSS for formatting the page.

[Tris]

My last 5 mins view of UKB:

[slackline]

Thats exactly what I'm getting and what I was referring to when saying that the formatting/CSS hadn't been applied.

I thought so - I just thought I would post a pic to demonstrate to others

It is very intermittent though - view is fine and back to normal now whilst writing this..

[magpie]

Mine is just really slow, I'm not getting the funny white page.  It takes ages to load and occasionally times out on me.  Seems a bit better today than it was yesterday.  I'm on IE, at work.

[magpie]

I cursed myself, it's now giving me this:

Network Error (tcp_error)

 
A communication error occurred: "Operation timed out"

Its really slow on my work computer (windows pc) and often redirects me to an error page which says "bad gateway", usually sorts itself if i press refresh or start again. Didn't have any problems on my home mac (safari) last night.

Have just had to write this message 3x as I got the bad gateway message when I tried to post!

[slackline]

It'll be ghosts in the machines again!

[Tris]

Yeah - I've been copying what I write each time before hitting the post button so I don't have to type it again.

[Bubba]

That "white page" error is usually sorted by doing a ctrl+refresh whenever I get it.

I'm not sure what's causing slowness - it's fine for me here at home on Newnet.

I'll flush out the sessions table - that sometimes helps....or maybe not, it looked ok.

[Paul B]

fine for me at home and uni.

[Jaspersharpe]

Twitter's a bit slow mind. Could you fix that for me?

[magpie]

I think it might be more to do with me than the site, everything - except for a couple of random sites - is really slow for me today.   

I even cleared my cookie things to see if that helped but all it seems to have done is change the little UKB symbol in the address bar from yellow to blue with clouds. 

[Johnny Brown]

Fast as fuck at my end.

[magpie]

Show off. 

Actually, mine seems better now I am home, so maybe it was my work machine.

[Johnny Brown]

Everything seems better at home though, doesn't it?

[magpie]

True.  It might actually just be that the first glass of wine slowed me down to the same speed. 

[Tris]

Still slow as fuck for me 

Rest of internet is flying. Please help me - no other decent forums to browse whilst supposedly working.. Spending any more than 10 mins on the other channel is like sticking pins in my eyes. This is like the good shows on E4 whereas it's like Jeremy Kyle and the Hoobs over there... help 

[Mike Tyson]

Mine is also painfully slow and I'm getting the white screen thingy. All other websites working rapido.   

[Bonjoy]

The site is also borderline unusable for me too today and yest. I suspect more people might be complaining if it wasn't so slow and difficult to get replies to post up on affected PCs!
Am posting from a Windows PC with IE as browser.
