I ask the question put in the subject as it is becoming increasingly difficult to spend any worthwhile time on this Website.When the subject was last up for discussion,certain people suggested that if you were on Broadband,there should be no problems at all.Well I am on Broadband and I am having supreme difficulty moving about this Website. Regards William Russell Jones Cefn Mawr Wrexham.

William, I too am on broadband, and at times this site DOES seem to take an age to update...........Think Its the amount of traffic, in your particular telephone area. if the section that you are connecting through is saturated then you will have time problems........ Bob

And I'm NOT on broadband and have no problems at all so maybe it is something to do with the area you are in Lou

According to the Home Page there are 32,000,000 records on this site. That is a lot of data for any database - let alone an online one. Add to that the messages and other bits and pieces and itis a huge site with many users. I think they may need to upgrade their server as it seems a very short time ago that there were only 23,000,000 records. It is probably outgrowing its server space.
