📢 Important Update: Hosting Challenges, Patron Changes & Forum Access

I've just run Ccleaner (for the millionth time), and at the moment everything seems ok, so fingers crossed I've got over the blip. Cheers JK.

Is that the computer version of this?

Ccleaner was originally called Crap Cleaner and was a decent programme for removing a lot of the unneeded junk on your lap top or PC. Nowadays it doesn’t have a good reputation at all and I’m pretty sure it tries to get you to install 3rd party programmes when you install it. I currently use Wise Disk Cleaner which I find to be a great programme with no malware or 3rd party software installations.

We have checked and run maintenance programs on every aspect of the forum we can.

Hopefully that resolves the issue, if it doesn't then sadly I don't know what else to suggest.

per a previous suggestion if people do experience the issue can you let us know the browser you are using and operating system if you know it or whether mobile/tablet/pc etc. but hopefully will settle down

Here's my set-up @jakehake

How do I tell what browser it is?

If it’s in “Incognito” mode I think it’s called “Virgins browser”

I assume that 'thing' on the far left belongs to Mrs Pnewortham.

It's the 21st century, Sid, and you can't make assumptions. What Pnewortham gets up to in his spare time is up to him and we shouldn't judge.

Wonder what happens when you press that big red button.

Cheers Just used that, very good.

You can’t see it but there’s a little blue one round the back that makes it extend in length for a few hours

A Kempston joystick is far more effective than furiously toggling your Z and X keys.

Hope I'm not speaking too soon but whatever you've done seems to have done the trick. Before, virtually every time I loaded a page, a little spinning circle would appear near the top of the screen, often just for half a second, but sometimes freezing completely, then resulting in that error message. But that's gone now and every page load is fast & seamless.

Great job you geeks 🙂

No problem, glad to have helped 👍

Well worth the £10. Glad it’s sorted at least
