yes - in fact i have problems accessing more or less constantly these days. its slowly discouraging me to log on.. not that i contribute anything but just trying to read the gossip is such hard work.
The actual technical reason for the system running slow is the Huge Moan overload it has suffered over the last two weeks. This problem will ease when the team wins a few games.
I really appreciate you putting this site together LoOky (& AFKA!) and I know it's from your own resources.....but
it's been really frustrating during the last 24hours - much worse than for a while.
I don't think the problem is at my end because all other sites have been quick to load & sending emails has been fine.
Any tips to fine tune things - especially the long wait to access discussions & losing posts while waiting to send?
The site is still vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sssssssssssssssssllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Its as though we are contacting America!
I'm also being asked to download a .php file - which I say no to and then the browser completely crashes - are you giving us a virus for free?
All i can do is apologise for the erratic behaviour at present. Can assure you that no one is having more problems with it than me, and no one is getting depressed as much because of it than me.
We're currently enquiring on a couple of options to get it fully fixed.
Thanks everyone for your patience. If you are having what you believe to be user specific issues, please mail them to admin@charltonlife.com (note there is a problem with AOL addresses)
Update: The site is very slow, but I think I have narrowed that down to people using Internet Explorer 5 and 6 who are having particular trouble. The site has it's problems at present, obviously, but these problems are compounded heavily by using these browsers, which are outdated and just plain evil ;-) I don't want to blame IE (5/6), and I know some people can't help but use what is on their (work) machine. If your browser is downloading the php files instead of displaying them, then that is a remnant of an upgrade to the server on the weekend. If you are still having that issue, clear your browsers cache and load the Forum by pressing F5. This is a simple trick that may work for you, or at least ease some suffering!
If you can, try another browser. I am using Safari on a Mac. If you can upgrade your browser, do so.
In the meantime, things are in progress to bring a more pleasurable experience ;-) But it takes time to narrow down and sort issues, so I do appreciate your patience!
What the f**k is that all about ? and yes i have unplugged it turned it off and turned it back on(love that when an eight year old IT consultant tells me that). No wide mouth fish, frogs or f**k all fell out did notice a few "IT people" talkingBollox tho.
I've found the site better this afternoon than it was this morning. Keep it up Lookie! people are all too quick to complain when it goes wrong but not give encouragement when the hamsters are fed enough to keep it going! :-)

Had that problem but it went away.
Have struggled today to get on with both IE7 and Firefox. At present FIrefox is working quite well/fast.
Lookie, the offer is still there to chip in with some funds.

It's been taking so long to change discussions and several posts I've made have been lost.
I gave up for quite a while - and actually got some work done for a change. ;o)
Even by Charlton Life standards...
LOL
Up already ?
I thought you would still be in bed, LoOky
Put another 50p in the meter, there's a good chap........ ;o)

it is slow and it is frustrating SOME times but when you get on there is stuff well worth the wait.
I would guess it is twice as frustrating for Danny and Adam who have always aspired to a high quality site in both design and content.
We love you Charlton Life, we do

Oo, Charlton Life, we love you

Try the Wide Mouth Frog.....!
Yep, I'm on IE 7 (work laptop) and very slow also - although better than a few days ago.
LOL - quality!!
