Forum keeps going down

[Sonia406]

Anyone else find the site is painfully slow to send replies to topics and sometimes has ''down time'' and doesn't connect? Had a wee hissy fit a few moments ago.
When I had my forums and wanted to maintain them I would put them into maintenance mode so that users got a message saying the forum should be back up X Y Z time and to check back later but its' like this forum just disappears ............

Anyone have problems like this?

There have been times when its a little bit slow and I nearly double post, but on the whole this forum is very good.
Not come to a standstill or anything.

Well.... Yes. It keeps happening though and was down for at least 10 minutes. I speak to another member on Facebook who also reported he couldn't connect to it either.
I thought I had been banned

The site is hosted in the states, they get occasional slow running or downtime but the support team is very good.

Yeah, it's quite slow posting replies but other than that, it seems OK.

yep. find the site very slow most days. sometimes Ive waited 30 - 40 seconds after pressing a link or button to get to the link. sometimes just get a page is taking too long to respond messages.

OK, I'm with Sonia now, this really is getting slower by the day to post. Well actually the posts are made fine, It just takes ages for the page to time out with a 500 error

I have learned to ' Copy ' what I have just typed ( only because my typing is painfully slow ) just in case I get an error. If it doesn't go then I can simply ' Paste ' it again..
Easy Peasy.
