Runs perfect on Chrome on my Xiaomi Android phone. That's really all I use these days. My tablet's ancient - needs replacing at this point - so I haven't touched it in months and I only ever use my laptop to catalog my blu-ray collection.

Me too. It's impossible to use it now. I like browsing through while sitting in front of the TV when we're on LIVE but on my Samsung phone it's a no-go.

Very slow on iOS Safari & Chrome - will try FF and report back if that's any quicker.

Test message, unable to post anything for ages. Takes an eternity to just go from one page to another.

It's just awful. It makes me feel like stamping on my laptop & throwing it out the window.

Don't know what the issue is but pages take ages to load before you can click on a thread, typing takes ages and lags...I have to open a page and then sit and wait about 10 seconds before trying to do anything.

Was terrible on Chrome so switched to Edge. Worked fine. Then that started playing up so switched to Firefox. That was fine.
Now that is playing up

Any update on a solution? Have given up with my phone, though PC still seems to work well enough.

IPhone with Safari and laptop with Chrome were always fine

Thanks for sorting :newthumb:

Running a lot better for me tonight, have been able to post a few comments from my phone which makes this site enjoyable again. Still having problems watching videos though that other users have put up.

It seems to be a bit better, although not perfect. It took about ten seconds for the cursor to appear before I could post this. I think the funniest thing is that every time I visit KUMB, my laptop fan turns on. I'm using laptop and tablet, Chrome and Safari.

Out of interest, is Premium Membership ad free?

Seems much better using the phone now, although still not as sharp as before. Much shorter time lag as far as I can tell. Thanks.
