Glad it wasn't just me! I've noticed a distinct slowing over the last week or so - I'm normally around during the day UK time so not the peak and several times felt I was in "watching paint dry mode".
Seriously - is it a problem with the servers etc that Rootschat uses? Can we speed things up by streamlining in any way?

A very positive and constructive reaction, mshrmh!

As I said, it slows down from our lunchtime onwards.  East Coast US wakes up around then, West Coast another 3 hours later and Australia, NZ etc later still.  It was really slow about an hour ago.

Hi erin

It seems to have become even worse over the last week. I spend ages watching the little circle go around now. Not just at peak times. I'm not sure what is happening.

I'm glad to hear it's not just my computer having problems with the site. The last week or so it has been dreadfully slow and I've been disconnected quite a few times when trying to post something or moving to another page. I have broadband and it's usually very quick. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Too many users, although at the moment there are only 148 users and 104 guests on line which shouldn't overload the system, should it?
