Hi all - Like many of you I have a broadband connection. But I find that PA is very slow to load up. Sometimes I have to give up and try again later. Once the site has loaded the pages are fast except those that have a lot of images, of course. Any one else get this problem?

M@x: Is there any cure to this or is it a server thing?

Cheers

I'm glad I'm not the only one.  Sometimes everytime I try to post or go to another page on the site it takes an incredibly long time to load.  I too have a broadband connection and have this problem on no other site.  One time I waited so long for the page to load I could actually feel myself aging as I waited.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I get slow responses when connecting from work but I can't be sure that it's not down to our connection. I've never had much of a problem connecting from home. Some forum pages take a while to load, but some people have big pictures in their sigs.

I've never found this site to be particularly slower than any other site.  Sometimes the pages take a long time to load, but then pages from other sites that I'm visiting at the same time also take a long time to load, so that's a connection speed issue, rather than any problem on this site.

M@X is on the case, and has already taken some action to help things along (such as restrictions to the search facility).
