this forum is still horrible, it takes forever to post a simple reply and its F-CK-1ng slow!
i thought after more then a month this issue was resolved bit its still terrible and i get constant error messages!
I posted a reply, no pictures, a few minutes ago. A preview was instantly displayed and posting took a few seconds of "churning". The thread was immediately updated with my post. Not that bad, I think!
Thanks jamesm - I got this notification. Most grateful.
What I would like now is to get a link to "latest unread post" - very useful to see if there is something new in a thread. I appreciate your efforts in this difficult moment!!

We have added a modification to the forum so that the topic title in each forum should take you to the first unread post or the last post in the thread if there are no unread posts.
OK, I'll try it. The forum is getting back to something like its old self. There are still a few bits to go. Notably speed, but that seems to vary. Keep up the good work! Thanks

Hi guys,
I've posted a couple of times today and found it has taken over 10 minutes to display the post. After my first post I tried to add some additional info by way of an Edit but the post simply re-loaded without the additional info! General browsing/ page loading time seems to have really improved though (for me, anyway).

Typically, the above post took mere seconds to load! Yet every post I've put on Historic recently has taken several minutes. Is there a "saturation point" where a forum can get overfull?

Am I able to claim a record? This morning I posted on the 'Missing Aircraft' thread on the historic forum. After typing the text and hitting the 'post reply' button I went downstairs and made a cup of coffee. I then brought the coffee upstairs to my office and the little blue circle was still rotating and my post hadn't appeared in the body of the thread. Not until a few sips of my coffee later did it appear. Can anyone better that?
Edit: yet, wierdly, the above post appeared in seconds!

You claiming the record, AA? How quick do you run up those stairs? :) Took my posts 13 minutes to load the other day.
Yes I found too that this forum loads in seconds which made me wonder if the Historic forum is reaching capacity. I'm no computer expert though and don't know if that's how these things work.

If you want to quote a previous post, yes.
Or they can reinstate the quote function and stop punishing everyone for the sins of a few...

This forum seems to be circling the drain, not been able to log on for 2 days.

Where are the notifications of responses to subscribed threads? I've asked several times already, but no reply so far. Thanks

Seems that Brexit is in progress. The availability of Key Publishing Forums is worse than ever here on the continent. What happens?

This is just an unusable forum now for me. I would look for some info on what went wrong, but it would take all day with these page load times.
