Help please, slow website or me????
Hi all. I have tried to get on a website that is pretty slow at loading pages. I have tried with Opera and IE. Could someone please click on the site and tell me if it takes ages for a page to load or is it just me? (ps, on opera it only loads the page up to 16%)

Cheers!

Thanks for your time chaps. It must be something on my computer here, it eventually loaded a page this evening using IE but it took about an hour to load. All other web sites work ok but not this. Odd....
Thanks again.

The poor webmaster probably will not even notice if you PING his site:
Start - Run ping www.bps.org.uk
(You may have to tell your firewall PING is safe to run)
I think he's searching for a new hard drive subsystem right now, hope he has actually made the backups.

Too mean to buy a long personal title

Hi all. Just an update. Looks like it is something here as ebay takes all day to load now, all other sites work and load ok so it must be something here.

It wouldn't load at all for me when I tried it yesterday, but this afternoon it loaded in about 5 seconds and at last therefore, I understand the humour in BOAC's post yesterday.
P.P.

BRL,
I've got a horribly slow laptop, and when using IE it's almost unbearable. But I've started using Mozilla Firefox as a web browser, and with that the site you linked to opened in a couple of seconds on broadband. I tried it with IE and it took about half a minute.
Good luck
Andy

Thank you. I have just downloaded Mozila Firefox and the problem remains. Both web sites take hours to appear. I can only think my firewall may be doing something
