    For the third time in a month I have been unable to sign into my Virgin Media email - my main email address. After several hours I will never get back, even they could not sort out the problem and it has been upscaled to their I.T. team. It could take up to 5 days to be corrected! This is a real bind as all my important 'stuff' gets sent there. After years of no trouble at all, I just wonder why this should have occurred. Hey ho - thats my moan for today.

      A few months ago I was locked out of my Virgin email for a couple weeks, eventually they got it partly sorted but all my old emails were missing for around another month or more.

        This site is TERRIBLE this morning ... sooooo s-l-o-w it is almost dead. This is the third tab I've opened and the others have only just come on.

        I have tried uploading photos to the May thread but it won't work - pics not showing up, and when they e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y do they're in the wrong place.

        AND I am STILL not getting alerts for many threads I am supposedly 'watching'
        AND photos I have given a 'like' to don't show that I've done so.

        I'm giving up ! I shall switch off now, and make myself a cup of tea, and take it down the garden ... the REAL garden, at least I don't have to press any buttons to see that, it's always there ... including all the weeds and things that need doing :biggrin:

        EDIT - And this post took A-G-E-S to come on as well !

          Good morning Michael - indeed, something appears to be very wrong somewhere. Be assured we are on the case and will hopefully get it sorted as soon as we can.

            Yes, very 'sluggish' at times. Yesterday I had to try several times to upload photos. I thought it was me, but maybe it's this site. Very "sticky" today.

              I've just had the spanners out under the bonnet and found a couple of things that were possible - one in particular stood out, in fact, however I wonder how it is now...

              Could we please have some folks posting (random stuff will do) and see if it is any better?

                  Are you any good at dealing with server-side issues? :biggrin:

                  We've escalated this one further up as it looks to be beyond our level of access/expertise... bear with us please folks, we are working on it.

                      Really impossibly slow for me this morning. :scratch:

                      Thanks for looking into this, @Fat Controller. :blue thumb:

                        I can see someone peeking out from behind the leaves!

                        No speed/loading problems here, as far as I can tell.
