180925 2003-10-06 20:26:00 I've been trying from 8.45 till now to get through to an FAQ. Waited several times for 60+ seconds. Any problems ?? TonyF (246)
180926 2003-10-06 20:31:00 Open fine for me.

180929 2003-10-06 21:15:00 Yep, took me just under five minutes to fully load FAQ #31, one of the older ones.

Mind you, I have quite a bit downloading on this dialup connection at the moment so it would normally probably take only half that time. :-)

180930 2003-10-06 21:19:00 As has been pointed out before the FAQ's due to the excessive loading times are now virtually useless as only a very few people will wait for them to load if they are aware of what is happening.. The vast majority who try to access them will give up thinking there is a problem with the FAQ's. Jim B (153)
180931 2003-10-06 23:12:00 Jim, the gnomes have improved the downloading time of the FAQs -- they were opening much more quickly for me the last time I tried a few days ago, almost as quickly as an ordinary thread .

I am still currently downloading other things as well as opening a multitude of PF1 threads and this time it took less than two minutes for another FAQ to open . Tony must be having a bit of bad luck .

indeed yes. Went in just now after finishing vacuuming ( wife due back after 2 months visiting UK !) and still had 2+ min wait. I back off until you are finished !
