Took 2 minutes for the above to go through.
(I've done a broadband speed test which shows normal speeds)

I've sent an email to support about this.
Access seems a bit better at present but it could be a problem with some of Crowdstack's servers but not all of them.
So if anyone is finding access very slow, come out of the forum and go back in as it might be that you get through on a working server.

Hi El

I had to wait a short while to get in here

Hi Moonie, it seems better than it was but it's still slower than normal

I managed it okay
Posting is a bit slow though
Off out for breakfast...so if you could have it fixed by the time I get back...would be appreciated...Thank you

I got in after a bit (tried twice) but have no stickies! (both times)

Only 30 seconds for that to post. Posting time could be to do with how many severs have to be tried before a working one is found.

That time it took just over a minute to post.

Fluffy, it's got slower again and as you say it's taking around a minute.

Getting better?

I’ve been trying to get in for ages

I've had a few robots and come back later screens

I’ve had robots , come back later , and hanging posts , but funnily enough I’m having problems with one of my games too ….so I’m guessing maybe they are on a similar server …

Are we back

Any idea what caused it El ?

Chains myself down

Still running slow ?

Baz, like you and others I've been getting robots when I've tried to get on here. I did get on after you posted about having similar problems with one of your games to try to post that Rosemary emailed me early afternoon to say that "there is an issue in the GaGaJoyJoy server environment that we are investigating.  Will resolve as soon as possible.  Thanks for your patience!". The post never got through.
I haven't heard back from them since so I don't know if the issue has been resolved yet.

Painful , ain’t it

Are we nearly there??

Tried to post again to say that that it took 24 seconds to go through. When I tried to post my reply it didn't go through and I was still at the Add Reply stage, tried to post again, same result.
So it's clear that there are continuing problems at present.

Same here El

Come on Crowd Stack....you can do it !!!
