Another thought on web sites running slow. When last have you cleared your browser cache, I did not think of this as it is something I do on a regular basis. In the past I have had people complaining to me that their internet is getting slower and slower, I showed them how to clear their cache and lo and behold everything starts working again. A word of warning, you will loose your browsing history, cached data, cached images, files and auto fill data. Be careful as you could clear your passwords as well. There Iโd a selection screen showing the options.

OK, just upgraded to silver as a show of faith, every little helps This site above all for me has been a place where I can drop in and read the historical posts, always finding something to read/study, I'm a magazine subscriber and treat this place similarly. The community here is pretty good.. Well at least I didn't hit my pc with my 3lb multipurpose fixing tool while I was deep in frustration ๐ค

Ron, As Lew and Northernflotsam have stated, our comments are not meant to be complaints. Rather, they are discussions about how others are finding the experience to be. I love this site and, truth be told, spend too much time on it daily. As others and I have stated, it is some degree of relief to find out others are having the same experience as me. I have cleared cache, dumped old files, rebooted, etc thinking it was my browser. Sharing information has offered a degree of relief. And, I am sure the admin is monitoring the comments and sees what we are facing with the site. Dave B

So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

I think some people are "complaining" not merely to complain but to see if others are having the same issue. There are sites that I go to that no longer exist and the search engine (Chrome, etc.) take a while to tell one that. The fact that this is a free site (with ads) is wonderful and most of us appreciate that. So I think most loyal members are not really complaining but are concerned that something has happened to model-boats.com if the pages don't come up right away. Lew

If you are experiencing issues with the speed of this site or other issues, please take them up with Stephen our site administrator. It does not help to solve your issues by complaining between each other. If you must complain please do it in private emails and not in the public forum where guests come and view your models.

Sometimes it is very slow and posts won't open at all from Trending but at this moment it is fine and everything opens promptly.
Another problem though I've found in Bob's Classic Boats thread is that you can't see posts over 5 months old. I knew I'd posted about the Sea Vixen before that and a search on Vixen shows the post and it being 6 months ago but I can't open it, very strange.
