    Hello.

    I’ve found that this site is often painfully slow when it comes to loading pages. I have a fast connection and will often wait over 30 seconds for a PI.com page to load, sometimes longer still. I have noticed that this happens even when there aren’t that many other people viewing (I’ve had slow loading problems when there have been as few as 50 people online).

    I started a thread to canvas other members and it seems that I am not alone. Here’s the link to the thread: https://www.propertyinvesting.com/forum/topic/26814.html

    I love this site and really enjoy contributing but gee, sometimes it’s pretty trying when you have to wait ages for a page to load.

    Incidentally, I live in Sydney and have no problems with any other sites. Even other forum sites load fast.

    Cheers,
    Art

    Yes, it is painfully slow in all changes of pages.

    Cheers,

    I experience the same, using an ADSL Connection despite of setting my page preferences to ” Not to Load Automatically”. Would be good if the site admin tweaks the server or perhaps get a powerfull server realising the amount of Data (posts) we have now and the number of simultenous member logins.

    I remember reading a “sorry” note from Steve re this problem, quite some time ago. As nothing appears to have changed, I went looking for it recently to see how long ago that note was written, but can’t seem to find it anymore.

    I used to visit this site daily, but after it changed to this new set-up I became increasingly frustrated at the amount of time spent waiting for pages to load….in the end I just lost interest and left.

    From the current monikers it appears that many others who once regularly made comment here have also disappeared. I now return only occasionally to see if the problem has been addressed…..yawn…

    Yes……painfully slow! I just discovered this post while trying to work out WHY?? Can't something be done to fix this??

    I find the "new" emoticons exceptionally painful to wait for to load, and as a result dont want to use them any more either.

    Any comments from Steve???
