« on: 07 April 2017, 04:44:18 pm »
I know it is not my end , why is the site taking so long to load nearly as fast as dialup.

I've found the site slow all day. On my laptop I sometimes get Error503 and on my phone a message  along the lines of The Resource limit of this site has been reached. Whatever that means.

I agree it is painful. I am fortunate enough where I live as I have Virgin fibre optic BB, my Download speed runs at 160 Mbps & 12 Mbps Upload and even with that connection speed I end up just shutting down FOC-U as it sometimes can take a minute of two just to load a post or upload a comment. :'(

Me too, it was freezing my phone up last night enough for me to give up, and it's still slow now even on the laptop.  :pc

Yes it's not fun. Someone needs to stick a few florins in the meter.

Andy was looking at this yesterday. The hosts have moved the site to a different server apparently and it should all be good again soon.

Ah, It’s good to see the old coinage. I used to get thruppence a week pocket money… probably had as much buying power in the mid-sixties as our new 12-sided £1 coin does now.
Anyhow, the site appears to be off the Commodore PET that’s hosted it for the past couple of days, to judge by the improvement this morning.
