Over the last few months I think the forum has been running extremely slow sometimes.
Apologies for this!
The forum struggles with the amount of people on here these days which slows the time a page can load.
Also, I think most website hosting companies only allow 20 ish people to look at one thread at a time so if there is a red hot thread going on or every one is looking at the general banters and the night shift thread it can kick some people off the forum because there are too many people looking at the one thread at the same time.
I have sent an email off to my provider to sort this out and if they are unable to fix it we will have to look at another provider which will be a nightmare to change over but we may just have to do it.
