My bookmarks allow me to come onto either FWi homepage or onto this forum page almost instantaneously.

But if I first go to the home page, and then click on ''forums'' on the left hand side, it takes an age to get onto the forum page.

In the end I normally give up and have to close FWi, and get onto ''forums'' via my bookmarks.

If this is the same for other folk, it could help explain why there is such a disapointingly low usage.

Same here Bill R,

i find it rather difficult. letters also impossible to find

USUALLY TAKES 2 OR 3 CLICKS ON FORUMS TAB. I GET A READ ERROR MESSAGE "(104) CONNECTION RESET BY PEER "

I have alot of trouble as well.  I try to never log off, but whenever we shut the computer off we are back to square one.  I get error messages about half the time now, it really bites when you have just written a reply and try to post it, only to have it vanish into cyberspace.  I like the site though so will put up with the BS, however I can see that many people would not. 

Somehow I manage to get on to the FWI home page from a Link on the top bar of Internet Explorer and then click forums on the left hand side. This works 9 out of 10.

I had a email from Bonehead the other day however, that said he cannot get on the site for some reason. I suggested he email Isabel and that I would do it if he couldn't get through. I would not have raised the issue except that this Thread was started.

I'm sorry this still seems to be causing problems.

The latest upgrade which improved the FWiSpace home page did seems to have an impact on speed, although we've released a change which we thought would help sort this out.

It would be worth taking a look at Iz's entry on this thread http://www.fwi.co.uk/Community/forums/a-few-changes-to-design-13392.aspx as you might need to delete your web "history" in your browser for the changes we made to work better.

If this is still no good, let us know...we do want to get this sorted.

Thanks, and have a good weekend.

I've been away for a few days - enjoying myself with some old university friends in the Tavistock area of Devon ( in fact this post should probably be in the too much alcohol one!).

But just wondered if the instructions I posted last week had helped. Let me know if not.
