Pighead hears ya Dave, its really bad. Its as slow as one of those fat lads from BGRH after a doner kebab.

Theres only been 25 messages in the last 39 minutes so Pigheads guessing its a boards fault.

Cheers, having the blame land on me every time a page times out is a little maddening considering I haven't actually done anything yet.

Incidentally this particular incident was a DoS attack, somewhat outside my remit at the moment, and of course it would happen the day after I actually start fixing things (the remember me box and logout button on the front page now work).

You see, this is the kind of thing that has gone on, unannounced and without fanfare, behind the scenes for a very long time.

Fair play, guys.

Don't worry 'bout it, we're all bored blaming Regi and 'Sok, so for the next while when Boards so much as flickers there will be a combined chorus of "CuLT!!!!"

99% of us will be grinning behind our kbs, and the other 1% wouldn't be satisfied if you showed up in person to hand them their morning coffee and their laptop, so ... :rolleyes:
