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.

I'm off to knit myself a blanket for yoga while I wait

Oh yes! I thought it was something to do with my Wi-fi. It was slow yesterday too.

It seems to be worse when more people are connecting to it. That sounds as though the server they are using is having difficulties coping with high traffic. As it happened suddenly, it must be a fault, not just increasing workload.

Slower than ever for me today

SueDonim Mon 14-Jan-19 13:35:36

Gosh, GN today is just like the old days of dial-up internet!

Mines so slow I thought it had stopped completely. Glad to know it’s not my new iPad and that other sites are ok. Come on GN get some more techies on it before we all fall asleep waiting........or go back to writing letters, or telex, ? we might have to start sending telegrams. ? pony express even

The speed was fast this morning but has gone off now.

Auntieflo Mon 14-Jan-19 14:20:37

It’s still like wading through treacle!

Alima Mon 14-Jan-19 14:27:53

Very bad now. Are the techies working today?

Elegran Mon 14-Jan-19 14:29:21

Just a thought, but I have just had a Windows update. That usually changes some of my settings. I have looked at all of them I could, and I can't see anything that might cause it. I have cleared my temporary internet files, old bookmarks and some other things that could be clogging up the system, but if everyone is experiencing the same thing, it can't be that.

Soooo slooow....! It's driving me crazy. I might have to go and do some housework instead. Second thoughts - it can't possibly be that bad!

petra Mon 14-Jan-19 14:45:44

It's good of HQ to keep us updated, isn't it wink

Alima Mon 14-Jan-19 15:23:06

Yes petra, thinking the same.

Mapleleaf Mon 14-Jan-19 15:31:29

Yes, I'm finding the same. Getting on to the next page on a thread is taking some time - has been like it all weekend and still is. Thought it was just a slow internet connection.

B9exchange Mon 14-Jan-19 15:34:19

Same here, something up with the GN servers, an update from GN HQ would be good, hint hint?

BlueBelle Mon 14-Jan-19 15:36:52

Nothing to do with Windows
I m on my iPad it’s slower than ever I think

ninathenana Mon 14-Jan-19 15:37:29

zzzzzzz....?

Bellanonna Mon 14-Jan-19 16:05:52

Gave up earlier. Just couldn’t be bothered. GNHQ?

GrannyGravy13 Mon 14-Jan-19 16:10:00

Getting slower!!!!

Lazigirl Mon 14-Jan-19 16:47:47

Gremlins have taken over Gransnet. grin

Billybob4491 Mon 14-Jan-19 16:48:46

Mine also very slow, ages to change pages etc., off to Mumsnet!

BlueBelle Mon 14-Jan-19 16:56:53

Bet if we mention Onxxxs HQ will pop up ???

Bellanonna Mon 14-Jan-19 17:01:59

You’ve puzzled me BlueBelle. What/who’s Onxxxs? It’s not to do with tr***s is it?

Bellanonna Mon 14-Jan-19 17:03:42

Oh, goddit! Onesies, onesies, onesies. Come on GNHQ please get back to us!

Jalima1108 Mon 14-Jan-19 17:04:32

Ooh, I could knit a O****e Bluebelle!

Or go and watch some paint dry.
