Busy site...or my computer?

For the last couple of days I've been having real trouble with the POE site. It's taking forever to load, many of the pictures just have the dreaded red cross - and to cap it all the error message 'IE cannot display the webpage' keeps appearing.

It's only happening on this site and using Firefox is exactly the same. Any ideas, as it's hit and miss posting anything. Thank you in advance for all help.

Hi Jennie. I find that there is a slight delay in viewing pictures, but posting them is no problem. I dont get the red cross or internet warning. I just put this down to my slow broadband conection. 2 megs. Thinking of upgrading my conection speed.

Good luck, I hope you find the answere.

Thank you for your encouragement Peter and Ian, as I need it all the help I can get!!

  Don't understand it  - not one little bit. My computer is lightning fast everywhere else, but shudders to a halt on my favourite site! Not fair, is it?

Hello Jennie

I thought I had the slowest PC in the world, but I also get the POE site no trouble. Have you tried submitting your problem to an online forum such as http://forum.technical-assistance.co.uk/ I have to say that I am not recommending them, just did a google search on your behalf.

As others have said, Chris and Sarah really have got a brilliant site here, one that we should all link to in an attempt to keep them in the public eye!

Good Luck!

Hi Ron

Yes, You're right,  this really is a terrific site, isn't it?

I think I shall be doing my uploading during the hours of darkness, as this seems the only time everything is as it should be. I could blame my server, but it still seems strange grinding to a halt on just the one site. Many thanks for your suggestion - here's hoping my little gremlin departs very soon.
