There hasn’t been the first time that I have been able to open so much as one page or do one screen refresh, without this long delay. It started at the time of The Planet incident and has continued this way ever since. I live in the Southern US.

So every page change, every article to open, every refresh gives this long delay. Answering responses where an upload of text is required near doubles this time length. So I leave the page open while it is attempting to get the message back to the server, go on to other web sites were I am not seeing any sort of delay. Opening times at other sites measure in such small times, that I can’t blink before they are open and ready for viewing. Only delays seem to be here.

For the first time, this article just opened as it should. Congratulations! First time it has done so since The Planet incident. I also just changed browsers to FF3. Have no idea if that made some sort of change or not.

^^ I can’t explain this. I was having the same experience for a while but things are now back to normal.

Bob, who looks after the tech end, has tried to find the problem but hasn’t been able to isolate it.

Where are you? And has it been like this unabated?

Cheers! And thanks …

Took three minutes to open this article to read it. From the response of opening time, it makes me feel like I am back in the days of 56K. Three minutes doesn’t seem like a long time, till you think that each and every article on this page will take the same time to open and worse that if not longer to respond to.

I really like this site, it’s been my home page for a while. Now with the opening times being so long, I click on an article, go to another website, read an article, maybe two, and then I can see one article here. Since the accident at The Planet, the opening times for articles has been atrocious and only the most interesting sounding ones have I even attempted to read. It’s not been so bad because there haven’t been many articles out while you were out of pocket.

I know your trying but if we don’t say anything, how do you know about problems?

Well done for the New Zealanders.
