    I've experiencing this for the past 2 months, the site works completely fine on my ipad (using the browser not the app) but is really slow on my laptop :confused:

    Its so irritating as I hate using it on my ipad, gives me neck problems
    Can you explain a bit more about the slowness you've been experiencing on your laptop. Is it general slowness where all pages take longer to load, some pages being a bit slow, parts of the site not working correctly, errors being shown?

    Would be very helpful to know so we can look in to what might be the cause of your problems.

    The "Home"/"Forum" etc bars aren't loading for me. Didn't want to make a new thread.

    Think it's possibly to do with new flash ad.

    Can't see Post or Go Advanced either. Can click all missing elements though.

    Site also went really slow for me too, and had to wait a while for it to come back up too. Works fine now.

    Let us know if you see any more. Hopefully it was just related some issues linked with some site updates we made earlier and so you shouldn't see any more problems.

    Hey guys. Sorry about the little blip yesterday evening. There was a minor network issue which causes the site to be unavailable for everyone for a couple of minutes. All should be OK again now.

    Like when you'd click to open a thread and it wouldn't open for ages :sad:

    Happened lots - didn't seem to be any specific reason for it. And everywhere else was fine apart from TSR.
