I don't want to be  a nuisance. I know M@x does all he can and there's 98012 things to do in PA. But the server or whatver problems that make this wesbite (the forum) too slow to browse are still here and at times worse than ever. Yesterday I tried to enjoy PA as any saturday but i just couldn't do it, it was taking more than one minute to load a page IF the page was loaded at all. I was going to make some posts but in the end I didn't post once the entire day. Seeing the posting count and the movement of threads yesterday, I'm sure more people felt the same way. Finally, and sadly, it's satrting to become a real problem to be able to do anything on this forum.
 
Just expressing my concern. For a site I love and use every single day. I'm enjoying it less now, because I can never be sure if I'm going to be able to read or post something.

Already a thread on this, folks: Frequent 'Server errors'.

BTW, it seems to have improved slightly.

Yes, there really does seem to be ongoing hitches at the moment which makes browsing the forum problematic. Best of luck resolving them!

My initial statement is false. It's not only the forum but also the main website.

It's a serious test of patience this weekend.

I tried to get to the main site and it was just large black letters saying "Service Unavailable." Is this happening to anyone else?

Actually I've only been getting that trying to access the forums.
 
Like Friday I think it was...I could get to the main site but not the forums.

Could you avoid starting new threads on this please. There are a number already which can be used.
 
Thanks.
