And that took 27 seconds to go through 

The posts are mainly at this time Lori and always have been, especially when Big Brother and I'm a celeb is on and they tend to be the same sort of times every night. We've never noticed a problem before and earlier tonight there was hardly anyone on when it started lagging Lori. I agree though, it's mainly between 7.30 and 10.30 when it's at it's worst, but it wasn't like this when Big Brother was on and more were posting then....I think, but I'm easily mixed up  

Lori....how about we try to see if deleting the big threads helps ?? Maybe us having over a thousand pages isn't helping ? 

Kimota is doing the Crib tomorrow Baz 

I'd say there were about 12 people in the IAC thread.  Less in the Masterchef one.  There's not really that many in the SCD or XF threads either.  Whether that's because they can't post, I don't know...but we're hardly packed like sardines.

Thanks for keeping in touch, Lori 

Oh, and PS... I couldn't get in this morning but there were a hell of a lot of spam posts on the main page..!   

I told you it was a guess.

Yeah, we got rid of the spam, Cosi.

Baz, I don't see a sticky with more than 107 pages--what am I missing?

Oh, just realized you don't mean stickies...just big threads.

Hang on a sec....

Lori, just a suggestion but maybe, getting rid of the music thread and the other sub forums that haven't been used in a while 

and it's a load of crap...as if we're going to buy it 

Hi, guys:

If you want to delete certain threads, that'd be up to the thread starters to do (so kimota for the Crib and Baz for Darnell's). Those two are the biggest that I can see off the bat.

There's no guarantee that will fix anything, however. Our guys have done some research and will be fixing it, but I've no idea whether deleting big threads will help.

It's just gone a little faster for me 

the mushy peas are back on the agenda  

Ok , thanks Lori ....well to my way of thinking it won't make it any worse....and I know none of the Darnies will mind ...we are due for our Xmas abode anyway ..so could you do it please . ,

It's gonna look a bit silly if we ourselves are to blame and just getting rid of the big freds cured it 

nowt to do with me 

THank GOD the mushy peas are back!!

Sprout - won't look silly at all, but wouldn't it be great?

Yes, you can breathe a sigh of relief 

I dunno, all this moaning we've done and it was us after all  

It's a shame they're being deleted but let's hope that it does the trick.

X's fingers 

They were never actually off, it was an idle threat...we know you are trying your best Lori and we are very trying  

OK, the deed has been done. Doesn't look like I broke anything.

We can't delete them ourselves Cosmo ...Lori has to do it for us nowadays I think ....but the builders are on call for Darnell's Winter Palace  

we've deleted them before Cosi..most of its general chit chat and weekend voddie fueled ramblings 

But we are still there ???

Tis, but with any luck.............

Voddie fuelled.........who's voddie fuelled cos I ain't 

you're anything that's going fueled 

Lori broke the forum completely, the delete buttons stuck  

Lmao  

You're lucky you're not all in tents 

We've been in those already  

it will be Greenham Common all over again... 

I lived near there the first time around ...I ain't going back there !!! 

Well. Apparently that forum is too big to delete. 

I'll report the error I got.

Don't delete the whole forum  

I can see you in clogs and dungarees
