Andy Thanks for all your help on this one, as a non gold member I realise that this is a free system for me, so things like adverts and slower speeds at peak time is inevitable on a popular website. All to often as a society we want things immediately, OK it a bit annoying when things slow up and as you have said its much worse for yourself. A big thanks for being there seemingly 24/7 and keeping things going. Most of us are very grateful for all the time and effort you spend keeping the site going. 3 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dragonboy Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2022 I’ve opened forum as I usually do around this time of the day and the forum is only a little over half of the screen width. Down the right side is a panel with a few adverts at the top then just blank screen and I can’t find any option to get back to full screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium rab Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2022 It's great to have it back to normal. Hope Andy has made a note of which hammer he used to hit it, so he knows what to do next time. My only problem now is catching up on all the new posts, which I'd given up on trying to read.

Jol Wilkinson Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I usually log out and close RMweb when not using it in the hope it may relieve tle load on the server for other users. I find download "speed" variable through the day but especially what might be peak times. The sidebar adverts and rolling video have been on RMWeb for me for a long time. The video is now getting some new content, but equally irrelevant to me. Sidebar adverts are not now just from Google but also another "provider". Not too much of an issue on my pc screen but very intrusive on the laptop. In the last week or so, large centre page adverts have appeared from time to time, usually when opening another topic session. On closing them it goes back to the previous page so the new topic has to be opened again. I've also noticed that new content in "Content I posted in" seems to be much reduced. Is the speed and other issues . Is the download speed issue reducing posting to the forum? It seems that Warner's aren't able to assist Andy with sufficient IT support and are content to accept the advertising revenue the site generates. Introduction of the proposed no adverts "silver" membership would really be appreciated. In the meantime I live with things as they are, but my use and enjoyment of RMweb will be diminished.

If Warners are content with the current revenue - or would like more - I see no incentive to introduce a 'no ads' membership. What level of membership fee would be required to compensate from the loss of revenue generated by members going 'no ads'? CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was simply a genuine observation to the effect that Warners may well be reluctant to fix what, from their perspective, is not broken. No controversy intended. CJI.

Reminds me of an MD we had who was chairing a meeting about high levels of customer returns. After everyone had had their say, he said, "If we didn't have any customers we wouldn't have any problems" . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the most inconvenienced are the most pleasant to discuss it with; the most vociferous seem to be the ones who barely access the site from one year to the next. That's life; that's people. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florence Locomotive Works Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Still seems a bit slow over here in the USA, especially loading images. Left laptop for 40 min and none loaded. I would suggest attempting the previously successful banana trick. Big thanks to Andy though for all his work. Douglas 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Trainshed Terry Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2022 It having a silly time at this end of the net, slow to load of freezers for no reason.

RMweb Gold D9020 Nimbus Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2022 Worth remembering that Chrome on iDevices — like all browsers on that platform — uses the same engine as Safari; it's a condition of being admitted to the App Store.

The performance over the last 5 days or so has been dire. I won't say it makes the site unusable but it certainly restricts its usefulness: Pictures don't load or only after minutes (literally) of waiting. Load more activity doesn't load anything and just takes you back to the top of the page. I've started page spotting: 520 522 524 I just need an IA spotters' guide. AS I have posted before I don't suffer the adverts problem but I was prepared to pay for silver membership to support the site. If this is the standard of operation, I will have to rethink that promise since paying to support a site that fails to operate properly would be a waste of my money. Maybe @SteveCole's lack of action is well based. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
