Lesley Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We seem to have gone slightly off topic Perhaps the forum is busy this week because it's half term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Moving swiftly on......... The forum seems to be up and running better today. It isn't taking me 4 minutes to load every page Maybe it was glitch in the system?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Perhaps James got it over on to the new server quicker than he thought. It did crash on me a couple of times earlier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's working really well for me too, but we did have our broadband upgraded on wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'll PM you Shona Could you pm me too......I have obviously led to pure and innocent a life to understand. Whilst your banning text speak, could you make the use of capital letters and punctuation mandatory too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I refuse to use text speak. I even use punctuation correct spelling and grammar when texting. English is the language of Shakespeare. Can you imagine the Sonnets text speak Shl I cmpre th 2 a smmerz dy thow rt mor lvly & mor tmpr8 ruf windz du shsk th drlng bdz ov may No thanks.

The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Nice try Egluntine! I almost never text - I always call them back - it's quicker and easier and I like to hear friends' voices too. I'm with the caps and punctuation thing too. When Rosie talks nonsense at me - I just tell that that when she talks in a language that I can understand, I'll answer back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Gosh..it is busy today....I've been on for about an hour, having been out all morning....and I can't keep up! Just as I get rid of one red arrow, another appears!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Do you remember a few months ago when we were beating the current record? I'm sure 55 beats that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 You could be right because the record 112 was spybots and the like wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was coming home from work finding 2 pages of red arrows to read.. This has now gone to 3 pages blimey! I find now that im "speed reading" which isnt good when you read "we've just eaten our wood burning stove!" as a topic question .....(it wasnt that at all !! ) Im still determined to reply to most posts though...my obsession.

Snowy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 OK, I just got the giraffe page telling me the forum was too popular for it's own good! I tried to do print screen but nothing happened, so I right clicked and tried cached snapshot of page but it took me back to the forum! I did try!

Cate in NZ Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm struggling with a very slow forum right now, pages are taking forever to load, I reckon I could do my housework at the same time as a forum catch up.........a page loading = approx equivalent to ironing 1 shirt. That said I'd rather sit here and tap my feel impatiently than actually use the wasted time constructively . Not had a giraffe yet though.............I'm beginning to feel deprived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
