Must be the amount of users. Late night and early mornings there doesn’t seem to be a problem.

Unsable at times. Many a time I've clicked on it and it spins, and spins, and spins and I exit.

Very slow. I thought it was the internet here at the house.

Edit: I timed how long it would take for the ^above^ post to go through, I gave up at three min and then remembered a post in another thread saying to just go back to the category you're posting in and your post would be there, it worked.

Default Awful!

Tried to post in the buy and sell 3 times and it just ran and ran and would not load it, finally gave up and sold it on Kijiji and Varage sale.
I think they have to much else running, meaning the ads......

At first I thought you were being facetious, I had only seen two posts and the old double tap does happen. Then I saw the rest of them... but I think there are only 6, not 7

Frustrating...
Been this way for almost a week now.

My apologies gang, when I first tried to submit I got the error message, I would try again and again, and whodathunkit I spammed the forum.

It's the government I tell ya. They are trying to slow down the internet to figure out what we are talking about. You guys got to type slower, they can't keep up or comprehend real people and real life problems. I still give them zero chance of getting it.

Makes no friggin sense why they can't update the platform. It is not secure - we all knew that - but the reality is that people exchange sensitive information on this forum everyday that could be compromised (buy and sell forum means that people are exchanging stuff all the time).

C'mon office. Join the new world.

Yep, same. Click on the link, wait for 30 seconds or a minute, then bail. Works better in the evening.

Yep. This is the only forum I have issues with for glitches and speed. The last few months have been bad and it doesn't matter where I connect from. Often after waiting for a few threads to open I lose patience and go to a different forum.

Hopefully once we are all upgraded to 5G it won't be an issue...

I tried to post an ad and for some reason, it posted it about 6 times.

Seems very slow at times too.

What Sns2 said ☝
This site was slow & dated, even back in '08 when I joined.

Now it's like . . .




No offence to the AO, but you're better than this.

I was in town today, a note on the bank machine that it worked, but very slow. Too many from home workers on the net ?

It's been close to two weeks that I've had issues. Basically unable to load anything on my phone from this site - other sites no problem. Hard to make a deal with communication disruptions.
