Anyone else having issues accessing the site lately?
I’m using iOS, both iPhone & iPad and lately when going to the forum it either takes a while to load a page or it just doesn’t load up at all.

Ditto – same on Windows PC. It can also take an age for a post to appear.
Immediately after above post tried to load a page from next thread up.
Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apologises.
We are aware, and have been looking into it.
Our hosts are blaming the popularity of the site ie load on server. Whilst we agree the site is popular we do not agree with that being the cause, so bare with us why we try and find a solution – may entail a move of hosts.
This has been going on for a few days, it’s not the site being too popular as it happens in the middle of the night as well.
Either the server needs rebooting or they’ve put too many virtual sites on one server as far as infrastructure goes.
Alternatively it could be a DOS and a simple look in the weblogs from your end and/or the hosts’s network monitoring will reveal all.
p.s. thanks for keeping the site going thus far

Unless there are an awful lot of lurkers I see no evidence of heavy usage?
Same here, very slow and sometimes unavailable 😥
