Running slow?

Is it just me or is Gransnet running very slowly this evening? It's taking 5 seconds for a new page to display and about 15 seconds to add a post.

still a wee bit slow here , mind you I should be doing something else , rather than blethering on here wink

Slow for a couple of days here too. Not as bad as a couple of months ago when HQ altered something and couldn't load on my old iPad at all. Thought I would either have to buy a new one or ditch GN. It was a toss up but then miraculously it improved after couple of weeks, so trusty ancient iPad soldiers on!

I was just thinking there was something wrong with our PC when i saw these posts.Good to know it's them not us !!smile

It's better than yesterday for me now, but still running slower than usual.
Any comment from GNHQ? Have you fed the hamster??

Still slow today for me. Glad it is not my laptop dying.

Very slow for me the last couple of days all other sites fine just Gransnet very very slow

I agree, yesterday was dire but today it has improved. I was at the stage where I could boil water to make a cup of coffee while waiting for a page to turn.

Good morning

We're looking into this and should hopefully have Gransnet back to its speedy self ASAP.

Katek Mon 14-Jan-19 09:55:45

Another one here! Was blaming my phone but it seems to be a site problem.

Calling HQ.....what’s happening??

shysal Mon 14-Jan-19 10:01:28

Thank you for the response Jasmine, I am losing the will to live here!

Charleygirl5 Mon 14-Jan-19 10:06:25

I take back what I said, I have had enough so over and out for me.

Greyduster Mon 14-Jan-19 10:36:00

Same again today.

NanaMacGeek Mon 14-Jan-19 10:48:41

It was OK late last night, now it is slow again - that should tell GN techies something! Are the complaints all from the UK?

Gagagran Mon 14-Jan-19 10:57:59

Same problem for me on PC - very slow yesterday and still not very speedy this morning. Have you paid tech team GNHQ or are they all on go slow?

Elegran Mon 14-Jan-19 11:58:11

Sixtyfive posts (and more being added all the time) from people concerned about the slowness.

I was about to contact GNHQ to ask whether they had had a "denial of service" attack, but I see that they are looking into it so I shall wait for a while.

What is interesting, if you watch the little box with "what is happening so far," in it, is the number of different files being downloaded, some of them from sites you wouldn't have thought of. However most of the time it just says "Waiting for ransnet.com"

I have returned 2 hours later and no improvement. It may help me - I may get things done in this house for a change instead of gossiping online.

kathsue Mon 14-Jan-19 12:02:51

Same problem here. I was just about to post about it when I saw this thread.

Fennel Mon 14-Jan-19 12:17:57

Me as well kathsue.

Squiffy Mon 14-Jan-19 12:51:11

I’m thinking the same as you Charley! I might actually get some of my To Do list done today! grin

tanith Mon 14-Jan-19 12:55:48

So annoying I’m off too ?

FlexibleFriend Mon 14-Jan-19 12:57:21

It's getting slower and s l o w e r.

M0nica Mon 14-Jan-19 12:59:25

Yes, this morning it was OK, but now it is definitely getting slower and s l o w e r.

It's awful here. Very frustrating to an impatient soul like me.

Jalima1108 Mon 14-Jan-19 13:04:29
