I was trying not to make that joke... 

Seriously though - any ETA? I've got access by stopping/blocking scripts - which rather cripples my browser...

Well, needs to be back by 12.00, or Mr C will blow several gaskets...

It appears to be back. Shame all my other sites aren't...

Hmmm, I might stick with Chrome now, it's WAAAAAAAAAAYYYY faster than Firefox on this old laptop. And it's not using anything as much memory.

Strange that it spawns a new process for each tab though... 

not for me.

errgg IE something.

Fine on Firefox for me now. Thank $%%%&@

just removed the old cookies and it works.

The idea is that if one tab crashes, it won't crash the whole instance of Chrome... downside is that each tab will use more memory (as opposed to the other browsers, where each tab shares the same memory space). Have found Chrome limiting for this very reason on older, low memory laptops myself, although you don't by the sounds of it.

I am only using it for this place, so I've got two tabs open at most, all my other stuff is still in Firefox, I've got about 20 tabs open in that but it's just annoyingly slow on this site.

In the best tradition of most TV these days, I suppose we should now spend the next ten minutes showing you what you've already seen on the site...

But seriously, apologies to all for the break in service, which really was due to circs beyond our control.

Yes, and now it's all working properly again. Phew!
