Terrible and my 1st attempt to post this knocked off IE as well. Definitely go gremlins and other sites are fine.

Be fine for a while then it just hangs, I've taken to closing the browser when it happens and coming back in again - sometimes works.

I still think it is the RSS feed, it seems to happen on the 3 every ten mins, for example 1543.

I have found the forum unusable recently. The most annoying part, if it kicks you out you lose where your were up to with unread posts. If I am catching up it prevents knowing where the new posts lie.

I am on 2Mb and the site is being hosted it seems through a 4800 baud modem.

I've experienced just the same problems and I'm now on a 2Mb line. BBC News site works like a dream. I now copy anything I have written to the clipboard before attempting to post as in 25% or more cases the posting fails, the site hangs and I have to start again. At least I can then paste my post straight in rather than re-type it all.
