Lesley Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Is everyone else finding the forum extremely slow at the moment? Or is it just Kate and myself? Very annoying when you have just 5 mins spare and it takes that long just to get to this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketty Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I'm finding it very slow too. Had to wait 6 mins to reply to your post Lsley! It's a pain because I am sneaky and use this forum at work (sure helps me get through the day!!) and when it's this slow it makes me so anxious that I'm going to get caught. I've only been using the forum this week. Have to admit - I am addicted! I felt before finding this that I was they only nutty chicken keeper - it's so nice to realise I'm not alone! hee hee I don't have internet access at home - I'll miss it over the weekend...

SarahJo Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yep ... I find getting Pepper to open her beak for water is quicker than this at the moment .i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yes Lesley it is very slow at the moment, I thought it was just me............ It is nearly as slow as Practical Poultry site........... Maybe when James gets back he will be able to sort things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliviaDavies Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I am tearing my b****y hair out at the moment - I thought it was my computer and I have been ranting and raving ALL morning!!! Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Me too! I've been logging off rather than wait to read postings so I hope there's nothing that desperately needs a reply anywhere!! I hope things speed up soon because this is tedious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketty Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 It's really upsetting isn't it? It's ruined my Friday! That and the sodding snow... I was really looking forward to a pleasant weekend with my chickens!! English weather... Suppose I will just have to wrap up warm to spend some time with them!

Lesley Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I did send an email to James but don't know whether there was a problem or not! Nice to see it working as normal again though isn't it? sometimes it's nice to know you're not alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Especially when we are all starting to panic about importing a virus/worm thats slowing our system . Obviously Omlet was very busy on their server today ..... and yes, I did notice before about the Practical P site being really slow .. not like us more preened and friendly chooks over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 I haven't been over to P.P for over a week because I'm too impatient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliviaDavies Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I read some really nasty comments about eglus on the forum and vowed never to visit it again and I haven't , not a very friendly feel to it I think! But I did think the replies from our lot put them in their place Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Funny ... I only posted re.Pepper because I feel more for the chooks than poss. P P forum people . Having said that .. a few don't even post logical replies to your posts, they are all going on about worms now, which was totally ruled out by the vet, and also Pepper does not look anaemic. Just crook . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Talking of Slow forums .. how about NO FORUM .. Practical Polultry have suspended theirs while they look at security etc, and due to the bad feeling that has been created on there by a minority Oh so happy to be an Omleteer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Wow Sarah, I haven't been over there in ages because it was so snotty but it must have got really bad. Why do people behave like that their way of anything is the only way I left that behind in primary school Still we are a nice bunch and thats all that counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Hi folks I just had a look at the p.p message and it mentions abuse and threats does anyone know how bad it was - that is strong language to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Oh dear I didn't know about P.P not used it for ages it did some times seem very stange when they started slanging matches think I will stick with Omlet much nicer people......................

SarahJo Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I posted about Pepper being ill, and went to look for info in their clinic section. And looked more often as some chooks over there had a similar thing. I was interested in a "Sultan" whio died similar thing to Pepper and they are doing a post mortem ... I wanted the info to help us all out over here if its a bacterial type thing . Anyway ... the general tone was always ... "we know better" and not sticking to, or totally missing the point. Also quite unfriendly .. and in one case did read that a moderator had stepped in to remove certain inuendo, incase younger forum users were reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 I haven't been over there for some time as I'm not the most patient person and it is so slow - now I've missed something! Glad I'm not a moderator over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I haven't been over there for ages either. There are some really nice helpful people on that forum but there are also some really rotten eggs (sorry, no pun intended) who spoil it for the others. I olny go to nice forums now - ours is by far the nicest ! By the way, is it just me or are we running slowly again tonight?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliviaDavies Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I knew I was right about P.P., it had a very unpleasant feel to it at times - I am staying over here with my fellow omleteers!! So there !!! Olivia p.s. but I would love to know what when on !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
