      Nice to be back.
      Seems I'm a new member now, oh well time I made a new start.

      Is it just me, or is it all running very s l o w .

      Takes ages for the pages to change, but it could be me I guess.

        The reason its abit slow is google bot is online in a HUGE way, about 200 bots crawling GC at the moment

        once they finish indexing we'll speed up greatly :)

          This forum has slowed down so much i can paint the forth road bridge while I am waiting just to try and log in and then it keeps timing out:gaah:I then managed to log in but on my first post in the introduction thread top Accidental Gardener,i couldn't post my message as it timed out again with an error message and then when it did post it posted it twice.I tried deleting one of the posts,but all it did was time out again so now there are two of the same posts from me :gaah:

          Also the Avatar pictures are all blurred looking and I can't get my swans to work.:help:

          Anyway,hope the site clicks in to place eventually and many Thanks for all the hard work being done behind the scenes to make the site run smoothly.:)

          At least I logged on quicker than previous change overs, I hope it does speed up, well done, looks like an improvement.

            Animated gifs as avatars are also being looked into as it requires something to be configured by the host however if you host the image somewhere else and link to it in your signature then it will still work:blue thumb:

            Edit*

            Apparently this has now been fixed all you need to do is re-upload your animated avatar and it will miraculously work:WINK1:
