Site Issues? Laggy/ long loading times

Post by Evan R »

Anyone else noticing really long load times last few days? The site will eventually refresh but often after a full minute or more.

Driving me bloody mad mate

Sometimes I’m kicked out completely, sometimes not. Posts take ages to load, and that’s if I get on the site at all.

Yeah it’s been frustrating. Feels like the internet in the 90s when it would take half a day to load an image :roflmao:

We had some issues a few weeks ago but thought it had settled down. Did a lot of optimising of the database etc.

Still having issues?

The media icon does. not work for URLs with the word "live" in them. For example square ball. Try with this URL
