Is it me ???

[Herlock Sholmes]

Before everyone says "yes it is," I have to ask everyone if they are finding the forum slow lately? I mean technically slow?

I've just been scrolling through a thread and each turn of the page was taking around 8 seconds. Then when the page came up it usually wasn't fully formed. I know that the site was offline for a period today but for me the site has been sluggish for a while. As there are Amazonian tribesmen that have more technical knowledge than I do I haven't a clue what might be the cause of this?

....

A question. Is there any way of getting to a page of a thread without having to go through page by page?

It will be your ISP.

[Ms Diddles]

It seems ok on my laptop and smartphone, Herlock.

[Al Bundy's Eyes]

No issues here.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Thanks all. I was hoping that you would say its not me!

I have to say that it's not always slow so I guess my internet is inconsistent. It's supposed to be high speed I think. Operated by a water wheel somewhere no doubt.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Does anyone know if it's possible to move through a thread at more than one page at a time?

[DJA]

Yep

What sort of PC are you using these days?

Beige is not the answer I seek.

Herlock, try clearing your cache and browsing history if you have not already done so. This may speed things up.

I'm using my 'new' phone at the moment. My iPad needs repairing as it won't charge up - I'm assuming that it might need a new battery.

Cheers Enigma. A friend suggested that so I did it. It's made no difference.

I just went back to the same thread and went through page by page and it's working as normal so I'm guessing that there's some fluctuation in my internet speed?

If you have a 1080p TV (I use a projector),a Beelink GK55 PC can be purchased from "banggood" for ~ OZ $300 delivered. Prolly ~ 165 in LSD or whatever you Poms are using these days.

A cordless keyboard and mouse. Laughing.

You can view Casebook in a number of ways.I prefer "most recent posts".
Another way allows jumping pages via the numbers at the bottom of the page.
