Hi All

Just general chat. Anyone notice the site download speed seems a bit slow? From selecting Forums to getting to them is taking me about 15 seconds from selecting to opening. Moving from one item to the next seems very slow as well. My browser download speed is 45Mbps and other sites don't seem slow. As I say general Niff-Naff inquiry and I get there in the end.
